Reading about it, the reason for the ejection was the mascot HEADBUTTED the referee...

Maybe owls do that as a sign of affection? Maybe Sammy was just trying to worm his way into Curtis' good graces?

That's Shaw's 3rd ejection this week.

He was on the St Johns/Cincy game when he tossed 2 players.

Mascots? Who gives a hoot?

Sorry

That's way too harsh for just going over the beak.

Now wait a minute, Abbott, isn't over & beak just a violation?!

Not "over and beak", but "over the beak". Just because you're confused doesn't mean you can just wing it.

I thought you were allowed to have two wings and the ball over the line before a violation.

Peace

BTW, this doesn't show up as an ejection for Curtis Shaw on his stat sheet.

When my niece was a student at Rice she was the Sammy the Owl mascot! True story!
