A woman who used to serve as the Mississippi State "Bully" mascot reportedly is suing the school and ESPN over an injury she suffered during the Bulldogs' game against Ole Miss in 2013.

According to the Clarion-Ledger, Michaela Mills filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Aberdeen, Miss. Mills suffered a broken leg when she was run over by an ESPN cart during the Egg Bowl in Starkville on Nov. 28, 2013. She underwent two surgeries in the immediate aftermath, one of which included the insertion of a rod in her leg, and still has pain in the area, according to the lawsuit.
