Mascot Fight!: Oral Roberts' Eli vs. IUPUI's Jawz

by Chris Littmann • Mar 12, 2008 10:46 AM EDT

Laugh all you like, but beneath the costume fur and smiles, the savage heart of a competitor beats in every mascot. And like some competitions do, an innocent dance contest between Eli from Oral Roberts University and Jawz from IUPUI broke out into ruthless violence at the Summit League Championship last night.



Jawz came prepared, executing a hybridized o-goshi judo throw on Eli to score points and win the scorecards for IUPUI. Points should also be awarded for the men pulling the mascots apart not breaking into gales of laughter on court.
