Stanford "Tree" Mascot Fined by the NCAA
This incident has nothing to do with Erin "Rock Star" Lashnits, the Tree who was escorted off the court, while drunk, at a Cal - Stanford game.
Rather, the offended Tree in this case was inhabited by one Tommy Leep, who apparently was involved in some sort of altercation with officials at last season's NCAA women's basketball tournament. The incident, in which the Tree apparently danced in an undesignated area, and then refused to leave, was captured live on ESPN. Sadly, a YouTube search failed to turn up the footage.
Tree.
Leep is set to perform as Tree this season -- and we think given the Tree's past, "perform" is indeed the mot juste.
Meanwhile, word is that the Stanford band has been suspended indefinitely for allegedly vandalizing its own "Band Shak," causing between $30,000 and $50,000 in damage. A trumbone player tell the Merc News: "We're really bummed out."
