Haha what is the story behind that?

Cincinnati's Bearcat mascot was cited for disorderly conduct after a snowball-throwing incident in the stands during a game against Pittsburgh.

Heavy snow covered the field and stands for the Big East game on Saturday afternoon. When Pitt's Dion Lewis scored the second of his three touchdowns in the half, students pelted him with snowballs and were told to stop.

A school spokesman says the mascot also was told to stop throwing snowballs in the stands and pushed a security guard, knocking both of them to the ground. The mascot was detained and cited. He was not identified.

A backup mascot took his place at halftime.

Wow. A backup mascot. Sounds like a pretty cushy gig.

It's especially impressive, because the backup mascot only gets about 10 percent of the reps during all the week's mascot practices. I do hate they had to burn his mascot redshirt so late in the season, though.
