Eastern Kentucky played Cincinnati to open the college football season on Thursday night, and the UC Bearcat parachuted into the stadium. I think it went pretty well. In fact, he was probably trying to get caught on that wire. Mascots are always doing things like falling down and hitting themselves in the groin for our entertainment. Look! His little plush head is bleeding! What a kidder!


It’s true, cats always land on their feet.
They should have made sure he stayed up there. It would make for one badass pinata.
Just another mascot trying to kill himself after realizing that he is a school mascot. World keeps spinnin’.
needs a better soundtrack. yakkity sax might work.
If he was really committed to the role he would not have used a parachute at all.
