What started off as a friendly dance-off between a jaguar and an eagle — which you see so often in the wild — turned grim and frightening on Wednesday during a break in this Summit League Championship basketball game. IUPUI's mascot, Jawz the Jaguar, grapples with Oral Roberts' Eli the Eagle, and it would have been to the death, if not for these brave security guards.
Following are a few more of my favorite mascot fights, including the Coast Carolina Chicken getting in a cheap shot on Duke the Dog of James Madison, and of course the famous Oregon Duck beatdown of the Washington State Cougar.
UPDATE: After further review, it was Duke the Dog who delivered the cheap shot; a kick from behind that sent the Coastal Carolina Chicken into a rage.
