I was reading my morning paper, and I glanced at the Sports section and the college news for the day. The headline read "EWU mascot has feathers ruffled"
Here is the article in full.....
Seattle Chief of Police Gil Ker********** came to the rescue of swoop, the EWU mascot. When the eagle found itself in a sidewalk fracas with a bar patron in Pioneer Square early Sunday morning.
According to a Seattle Post Intelligencer story, the chief was being given a closing time tour of the club district when officers witnessed the man Vs. eagle confrontation.
Police said a man shoved swoop to the curb and then stomped on the mascot's back as another person dressed as a beaver watched.
Four officers broke up the disturbance. No one was injured all were later released without citations.
Many mascots from the Northwest were in Seattle over the weekend for a competition.
A police spokesman couldn't confirm the identity of those involved.
An EWU spokesman told the Spokesman Review::" Eastern Washington University does not reveal the identity of swoop, just like any other superhero".
Ok, I have a couple of weird thoughts......Where were Swoop's super powers when he needed them???? Because if he had any, you wouldn't think he would be on the ground getting the SH** beat out of him.
Where was the Idaho Vandal mascot when ya need him???
How much do they pay these idiots????
Wouldn't it be hotter than hell in one of those costumes especially when the temp has been over 100 degrees for days?? Oh, maybe that explains the havoc.........heat + Beer = well, not very good behavior......

What the heck is a swoop anyway?
I don't fricken know. I guess it is an eagle. An eastern eagle, to be exact. Never been an EWU fan, so I have no clue where they came up with that.
