Ohio University’s Rufus to march in Pride Parade

Ohio University announced that its mascot, Rufus, would be making the trip up to the capital city to fill his spot.

Less than an hour after the decision was made public, Ohio State put Brutus back in the Pride Parade.

I think it’s safe to say that a veritable war of the mascots has been ignited.

You might recall when Rufus tackled Brutus in Ohio Stadium during the football team’s entrance back in 2010, so there’s bound to be some bad blood remaining between the two.

Ohio State decided to take Brutus out of the Pride Parade citing heightened safety concerns in the wake of the Orlando shooting.
