Students and teachers, I bring you breaking news live from the newspaper room. The biggest fight the state of Ohio has ever seen began on Sep. 18, 2010.
The encounter happened between Rufus the Bobcat of Ohio University, and Brutus Buckeye, of Ohio State. The mascots engaged in fisticuffs before the game started as the Buckeyes were entering the field. Rufus attacked Brutus the Buckeye mercilessly while still in costume. Some fans were appalled while others were filled with joy.
This fight made headlines on the websites of CNN and Sports Illustrated for a reason. Rufus the Bobcat, after stalking his prey and giving him a demoralizing sucker punch, used his instincts that were instilled in him to attack the prey seemingly without cause.
When I sat down for my interview with Brutus, he was in a state of shock. The Buckeye had fallen into a stunned state. As any good reporter would, I questioned him about his side of the story.
"I just felt like I was being watched. So, I turn around only to get punched in the face and brutally attacked," he said.
Because of the unruly behavior, Brutus has been moved to an undisclosed high security location which made it difficult to get in contact with him.
But, through my connections I was able to make a few calls and get in contact with him.
Now that I had him where I wanted him, I needed to get some answers. My first question was about his motivation.
"Last time I confronted him, he was talking all sorts of smack towards me. So, as you can see, I had no choice but to unleash my karate power upon him the next time I saw him," Rufus said.
With that information, I proceeded to ask him about any strategies he used to give him an edge in the competition.
"I decided to scare him at first with a sneak attack from behind, and from there I used my bobcat skills to stalk him until the appropriate time to unleash my bobcat fury. Once I had decided the right time, I used employed the karate I had learned in China to finish him off once and for all," he continued.
After gathering all of the information I could from both parties, I looked at the video myself for a play by play breakdown. The fight went like this, Rufus the Bobcat came up from behind the Ohio State mascot and gave him a tackle that proved to be ineffective. Brutus quickly shook it off and continued his routine of pepping up the audience.
However, Rufus is not one to give up. The bobcat took the "Sneak-in-the-Crowd-Then-Attack-With-the-Fury-of-a-Thousand-Suns" method in his stalking, which also is employed by a certain Sylvester Stallone. Brutus, taken completely by surprise, was knocked to the ground and beaten heartlessly by the vicious bobcat.
Just before the fight could turn deadly though, a swarm of small and adorable puppies overwhelmed the two fighters with balloons which took them away into the sky.
Both parties felt they were the clear winner of the fight and each are awating an apology. Needless to say, the outcome of the engagement has yet to be determined.
