Real fight between mascot ram and mascot bulldog means we all win (video)

The ram and the bulldog will never be friends: that’s just nature’s way. We learned this lesson once again on Friday, when the mascots for rival Louisville high schools began a fake fight in the middle of the basketball court, which quickly escalated to a real fight.

Kudos to the Louisville Male High Bulldogs and the DuPont Manual High Rams for some pretty good mascot costumes … most high schools barely even try in that department. And boy, do they take their high school basketball seriously in Kentucky.

Features of the video below include:

• Kung-Fu Ram flying leg kick.

• Crowd screaming with delight as combatants wrestle each other to the floor.

• Adults running in to break up a mascot fight.

• Fans rushing the floor.

And so we have another entry into the Mascot Fight Hall of Fame. The Oregon Duck and the Washington State Cougar approve.
