SI's list of best photos of the year list has been released and #19 is a great shot of Rufus beating the @*#! out of Brutus.  In addition to being nicely framed, I like how it captures the OSU players kneeling in the background, mourning the death of their sucky mascot.

Embedding with Chrome: I right click the image, copy image url, click the photo icon in the Rich Text Editor, and paste the image URL into the space for the URL after clicking the photo icon, resize as desired.

Embedding with Firefox:  I find that you can normally just drag and drop the picture into the comment box and resize the image by dragging the corners.

Worst halftime show ever. I'd rather watch the alumni band do sprints up and down the length of the field while trying to play Yakety Sax for 15 minutes

I remember, while I was watching this, just being ashamed and embarrassed. How can you like it? I just can't fathom that.

.......the choosing of a nut to represent your school is the dumbest. I mean, really, is there a nut that anyone is scared of? Large cats? Check. Pachyderms? Check. Wild stallions? Check. Raptor birds of prey? Check. Small, vicious rodents? Double check. Arachnids? Check infinity. 

Even Purdue's mascot is somewhat scary. I mean, have you ever worked with a union boilermaker? I have and believe me when I tell you that they can be fearsome at times. Some trees are even scary, as they can fall on your house and cause quite a bit of damage.

But a nut? The worst thing a nut can do is pop you on your head and mildly annoy the heck out of you. I've never been walking in the woods, seen a nut lying on the ground, and run away screaming like a little girl. Finding a nut in the wild isn't nearly the same as coming across a gator in the great outdoors.

Nuts as mascots are stupid.

This picture just proves that there is a lack of institutional control all over the place. The football team and on field personel just let Bucky get his ass kicked.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS bucky fan MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Is it me or does it look like Brutus peed himself, because he has liquid on his shirt right under his name? I guess that's what the towel is for, and I guess this guy got it right, Brutus does really pee out of his stomach!

Obviously, I am not a fan of the message the tattoo is trying to convey.  

But for the reasons you mentioned, it looks silly.  The only way that Brutus is actually peeing out of his wang, is if it is like 18 inches long, he's holding it straight up and then pointing the tip down.  In that case, however, the urine would be like a jet stream.  No arc would be present.  Don't ask me how I know that, I just do.
