Apparently it’s a bit frustrating being a commodore in a landlocked state. Such is the lot of Mr. C, the mascot for Vanderbilt University. On Tuesday during a game with Tennessee, Mr. C hauled off and punched a student from his own rooting section (video below), the blow landing hard enough to give the kid a bloody nose. Mr. C had just been crowd surfing in the student section, and when he landed, he hit the student with a hard right cross.
Was Mr. C provoked? Did he hit him by accident? The student tried to stop the bleeding with some newspapers, but finally exited the arena. Now Mr. C is on the lam from authorities (we assume). He could be stalking Nashville, fighting crime. Be on the lookout for a yellow man with a commodore’s hat wearing a Vanderbilt jersey.
