TREE WILL KILL YOU DEAD.
Since we’re signing out for the day and heading over to Dodgy At Best to pontificate on another sport we love and know shockingly little about, we leave you on this sultry Tuesday with a short but powerful video from 1995 about why the Pac-10 is ten times more vicious than we wannabe hooligans in the SEC will ever know.
Note a few things, though:
–Solid mat work by Tree here, who clearly has some judo or Brazilian jiujitsu background. Call UFC immediately.
–Oski, despite some solid strikes, clearly could have used a standing start to the match. More of a boxer and less of a grappler, though what the hell can you grab on tree besides a couple of hula hoops and a googly eye?
–We think Oski remains the clear winner here despite suffering a countering head slam into the court. Note that Tree fights dirty but effectively by decapping Oski and slamming not the mascot head, but the actual head of the mascot onto the hardcourt.
–A mascot led off by security is almost as funny as a mascot being assaulted. Seeing the two in a single video is a package deal for the senses.
–We would also like to add that despite seeing him a decade-old video of him fighting in public, Oski’s reputation is solid in our book. You might even say stellar.
When trees and bears fight. Almost as funny as people busting ass on slides.

Still working on releasing the video that Kanu is referring to. I was wearing my Cal hat amused at what they called a security team as the aforementioned Easter Bunny went into what can only be described as a blind fit of rage. My friends the Easter Bunny does exist and he hates Xmas. Being a Cal fan he saw Blue(We don’t see red)and decided to take out the tree. My buddy actually yanked the tree down by the top. The security team tried to run him off but they turned their backs again and down went the tree. The chant goes “give em the axe the axe the axe” well the Easter Bunny gave him the spear… to the midsection. True defense of what is now an appropriate Tedford string of victories against the Furd. For those of you interested check this link out. It’s the birth of the axe and the rivalry itself.

I always enjoy seeing the tree getting chopped down. Stanford’s “we’re too smart to care” attitude isn’t fooling anyone; besides, getting your start as a satellite campus of Cornell doesn’t make you Ivy League west…
However, the look of utter confusion on the small child’s face as Papa Jorts took an unplanned header down the water slide transcends all for today; it’s even taking the sting out of the Angola game…
