Well, it's already a new year and well, this might take the cake as the most interesting story of the year.
Last night, a college basketball game between the Rice Owls and the Tulane Green Wave turned into the Sammy the Owl show.
The only problem was that the referee wasn't laughing, Sammy gave him a playful love-tap that got him ejected.
After Sammy got tossed, The Owls ran out of steam as Tulane pulled off the win by feather, 61-59.
