Getting to know the Big Ten mascots: Who are these guys?

The Duck is about to make some new friends as Oregon leaves the Pac-12 to join the Big Ten next season.

No matter what conference Oregon finds itself in, we know The Duck is the best mascot around and there can’t be much of a debate there. But as the Ducks do move to the Big Ten, The Duck is going to be going to a brand new school, so to speak, surrounded by strangers he can only hope to be his friend someday as he gets used to his new surroundings.

The Duck will need to bid farewell to Ralphie in Colorado and Butch the Cougar up in the Palouse, as well as Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat in Arizona. We still don’t know where Benny Beaver will end up, but he’ll still be around during rivalry games.

As far as Oregon goes, though, the Big Ten will bring on new faces and new places to see. These are the new mascots The Duck and Harry the Husky will have to become acquainted with next season.

Another social media post between Ohio State and Oregon draws questions

Brutus and the Duck are back at it again, filming videos around Autzen Stadium. What do you think it means?

A week ago, Ohio State’s Brutus the Buckeye and the Oregon Duck joined forces for a cryptic Instagram post that said “BIG things coming,” which left the fans of both teams wondering what could be on the horizon.

Since then, a whirlwind of news has taken place, from conference realignment with the Colorado Buffaloes leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12, to Oregon head coach Dan Lanning signing a new lucrative contract with the Ducks.

However, we haven’t gotten any clarification on what the original social media post between Duck and Buckeye actually meant.

On Monday night, though, Brutus was back at it on Instagram with another post concerning the Duck. This time, he had his eyes set on Oregon’s mascot trouncing around Autzen Stadium.

The caption “Duck Watch. #themoodistense” is undoubtedly accurate.

Whether it is because Oregon fans are clinging to their phones in hopes of positive conference realignment news coming to the forefront or they are hoping the collaboration with Ohio State will result in a makeup game against the Buckeyes being scheduled for the near future at Autzen Stadium, Ducks are definitely on edge at the moment.

Will we be getting some good news soon? Here’s hoping the answer is yes.

Twitter reacts to Brutus the Buckeye getting leveled

Twitter reacts to Brutus the Buckeye getting leveled #GoBucks

The Ohio State Buckeyes earned a strong and dominant win over the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday, 52-21 to open up Big Ten play. They did all this without their number one receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Next week Ohio State will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and they may have to earn the win without Smith-Njigba again, and perhaps without even Brutus the Buckeye.

Numerous players were bumped and bruised, but the injury that made the most headlines tonight was to the beloved mascot, Brutus. During a contest between a few contestants, Brutus was flat-out leveled and the ramifications were brutal. Check out the highlight below and the social media reaction to it all.
