Also: "Today in mascot news."
Because who doesn't love them some mascot news?
The Blob, a notorious Mascot-Appreciation Zone, certainly does, and the zanier (or creepier) the mascot, the better. Which brings us to one of the zaniest mascots, the Stanford Tree.
The University, it seems, has suspended the current Tree because he apparently deeply offended the board of trustees or various other stuffy tweed-heads. His crime?
Coming out on the football field with a sign that read "Stanford Hates Fun."
This being Stanford, I imagine there was some ironic/satiric meaning to it. But Stanford officials didn't think it was funny, so they suspended the Tree.
Thereby confirming that Stanford does, in fact, Hate Fun.
Nice self-own there, geniuses.
