Mascots in college football are so much fun and so much chaos, from the havoc-creating Oregon Duck and TCU’s hypnotoad in 2022 to the creepier side with bowl game mascots (looking at you, Tubby). And we love them.
But Cincinnati’s Bearcat mascot took things to a whole new level Saturday during the Bearcats’ home game against No. 16 Oklahoma.
Oklahoma’s and Cincinnati’s mascots had a fun little Mario Kart moment during the game, riding tricycles around the end zone. But the Bearcat, full of chaos, made its attack move and absolutely decked the Sooners’ mascot, knocking it off a tricycle with the help of a Mario Kart red shell.

Maybe it was a staged bit — probably, right? — or maybe it was spontaneous mayhem. Either way, we love some entertaining mascot chaos.
