Item #: SCP-1291
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1291 is to be contained in an empty Class 4 refrigeration
unit.
SCP-1291 is to be restrained on a thermally insulated wheelchair to prevent injury.
SCP-1291 is to wear a blindfold at all times.
Personnel interacting with SCP-1291 are to under no circumstances make direct skin-to-skin
contact.
In the event of accidental direct contact, affected personnel may request termination.
Binding Maintenance Procedures: Each week of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision,
SCP-1291 is to be taken to a specially prepared stadium box in Harris Teeter Stadium at Mississippi
River College to watch the football team, the Moccasins, play.
No civilians are allowed contact with SCP-1291, and any that recognize it will be turned away.
The Mississippi River College Moccasins are under no circumstances to be allowed to play
in a BCS bowl, or to leave NCAA Division I.
The Foundation has arranged with the college to ensure the Moccasins maintain a safe level
of performance.
The physical safety of SCP-1291 must also be ensured.
Violations of these procedures strengthen SCP-1291’s anomalous effects, and are therefore
to be avoided at all costs.
Description: SCP-1291 is a Caucasian male with greying blonde hair of approximately
forty years of age, apparently possessed by an entity of unknown nature, designated SCP-1291-1.
SCP-1291 is wheelchair bound, but records show that SCP-1291 stood 184 cm tall prior
to gaining anomalous properties.
The eye color of SCP-1291 is unknown, as cameras cannot focus with its eyes in the frame, and
looking at them directly exposes the viewer to SCP-1291’s deleterious mental effects.
Though SCP-1291 is capable of vocalization and movement, it has so far not demonstrated
any ability to speak coherently, cannot walk, and frequently attempts to move in ways not
anatomically possible in a human body, necessitating its restraint.
SCP-1291 has not demonstrated physical strength above human levels.
SCP-1291 has a body temperature of about 155°C, and does not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
Physical contact with SCP-1291 is universally fatal within a week, as it causes rapid growth
of cancerous tumors throughout the body.
Continued exposure to SCP-1291 results in full-sensory hallucinations and increasingly
disorganized thought and speech patterns, developing within about 48 hours of exposure.
By 96 hours of exposure, all subjects tested so far have been rendered comatose.
These symptoms do not fade with time.
Making eye contact with SCP-1291 causes immediate catatonia.
If the binding maintenance procedures are not followed, the body of SCP-1291 will begin
to degrade.
Patches of SCP-1291’s skin gain similar properties to its eyes, and its body temperature
rises significantly.
Additionally, ash starts to materialize on unobserved surfaces in an expanding area.
It is believed that this represents a weakening of the effects keeping SCP-1291-1 contained
within SCP-1291.
These effects gradually diminish back to the baseline when proper procedure is restored.
Prior to containment, SCP-1291 was Roy Wilson, the head coach of the Mississippi River College
football team.
Background research suggests Mr. Wilson had Serpent’s Hand connections, though he was
likely not a member.
It is believed that he attempted to summon SCP-1291-1 to improve the Mississippi River
College Moccasins’ performance at football.
To date, SCP-1291 has not acted in any way to affect the Moccasins or their opponents.
Addendum 1291-13: Attempts to abolish the BCS system for college football also seem
to induce a degraded state in SCP-1291.
Continuation of the BCS system is therefore designated part of the binding maintenance
procedures for SCP-1291.
Document 1291-2: Recovered documents from the journal of Roy
Wilson.

The Moccasins will win when hell freezes over.
Another season past, and our best chance for years squandered.
7-5.
Better, but not even close to good enough.
And with Vernon and Rhodes graduating, we lose half our defense.
There’s no way we do this well next season, even if Tanner lives up to his potential.
I’ve done all I can.
I want to tell these kids that we’re going to do it next season, we’re going to go
all the way, but I can’t lie to them myself.

I have a very bad idea.
Those folks from college, the sorcerers magicians.
For lack of a better word, sorcerers.
I once tried their magic a little and I think I had some talent at it.
Perhaps I could try that?
Assuming that stuff is even real and not the product of a different sort of experimentation
from UT days.

It’s real.
It’s not a trick of my memory, it’s the answer I need.
My old notes were right.
I went from the MRC library straight through to a rather grander library.
There’s a way of walking, a way of thinking.
It’s not some mystical rite, you just walk along the wisdom.
Anyhow, I found some books.
It’s a library, that’s what it’s for.
Magic to raise the morale of my team, magic to wither my enem opponents.

Calling the power is easy.
The challenge is channeling it safely.
As near as I can tell, it’s best to do this through binding a demon spirit, so that it
takes the brunt of the fulcrum effect.
It’s just energy balancing.
Bind the spirit until the Moccasins win a BCS bowl.
Why isn’t this stuff used more?
February 4, ████
Raised some spirits with the rituals in the book.
It’s easy to do, but they can’t help me.
It’s like that old joke where the genie says that peace in the Middle East would be
easier than the Saints winning the Super Bowl.
I tell them I want the Moccasins restored, but no.
That’s the one thing they can’t do.
There’s got to be better than this at the far library.

Got one last book.
They didn’t want to let me check this one out, but I insisted.
About to try the summoning.
Believed to be February 8, ████
Dread thing rose but bound BOUND BOUND it shall serve!!
in my head theres a sick silk nail UNTIL we win the feathered eye will turn its
gaze to the world When the Moccasins win, hell will freeze over.
