Unfortunately, “The Man” was not happy. Deadspin puts it best: ”...the Stanford University band’s famous tree mascot was fired for being completely shit-faced during last week’s Cal/Stanford basketball game. Erin Lashnits, who served as the rowdy tree blew a .157…”. The SF Gate article puts things into perspective by referring to Lashnits as a “Fifth-year senior”. Deadspin dug up the fact she’s on the swim team so it might be an athletic eligibility thing. Still, it makes you wonder if that 5th year of school was not completely brought on by other extra-curricular activities.
When your band is on alcohol suspension you unfortunately have to fire the mascot so you can, in their words (not) ”...risk our core mission of rocking out and bringing funk to the funkless.”
Rock on!
