LOL thats not even close to what happened vs FSU. The Tally cops didn't want him spraying the extinguishers on their field and we did it anyways, and one of the cops got sprayed with it.

And Sebastian didn't taunt the Florida bench during the 01 Sugar Bowl. He just ran on the field after a TD and hugged the Miami player that scored. The announcers were laughing about the whole thing.

I was at that Sugar Bowl game, and that was a CLASSIC moment. I thought **** Davis was going to have a coronary when Sebass got that 15 hung on him. The bird's never been the same since that event. They castrated him. Now, all he does is twist his beak.

If I recall correctly that was one of the first years that they had students be the Ibis, and he got in deep **** for that little move. It had been a professional for years who was hired away to be Billy the Marlin (more money but hardly an upgrade).

My sophomore year I tried out to be Sebastian. According to the judges I was too tall and looked more like a stork than an ibis. It was still fun to run around in the uniform for a while.

The PC crowd has truly screwed up anything fun in this country.

Society has successfully allowed a bunch of uptight higher education tightwads to ruin the fun for the rest of us.

I don't believe a Bleacher Report story got something wrong. Their journalists are of such high quality this simply isn't possible.

Students have been Sebastian since 1993.

When John Routh was the ibis & the Miami Maniac from '84 to '92, he was by far the best mascot in the country.

That **** was hilarious. That was the first Miami FSU game I saw live. It was common knowledge that the Tally pigs had banned the smoke being used for Miami. When Sebastian broke it out the UM fans went nuts. As I recall Sebastian had to smuggle in the extinguishers. I don't think any knew he was going to do it.

I knew both of the students who had the role when I was there starting in 2001. They told me they were the first students to handle it in a long time. Don't have a source except what I remember from the conversation over a decade ago, but two of the subsequent Ibis's were in my fraternity, so I can ask them next time I see them.

Sebastian has been more irrelevant since we moved into the ACC (now allowing mascots on the field) and Sun Life stadium. It`s a shame.

Unfortunately, it is a worldwide phenomenon...

But it seems that in US things are in a level above.

I personally knew one of the two guys who were the Ibis from 1996 - 1999. I even put the Ibis costume on my head in his dorm room. If you remember the 1996 FSU/Miami game, he was dressed in an Indian outfit and was chased by the Ibis in a before-game skit on the 50 yard marker.

Both of the guys who played the Ibis back then were students.

Fair enough, must have gotten bad info or misremembered. They were supposed to keep that **** on the DL but there were definitely some late night shenanigans that went on with the outfit.
