Rocky Top Raccoon
Posted by rtmsf on September 26th, 2008Between Bruce Pearl and Pat Summitt, UT basketball is the gift that keeps on giving. From Forbes (h/t Deadspin):
Tennessee basketball coach Pat Summitt had offseason shoulder surgery, not for a sports injury but because of a tussle with a raccoon. The winningest basketball coach in NCAA history had problems with her right shoulder after dislocating it while chasing a raccoon poised to attack her Labrador. The attack came near her home on March 5, just days before the Southeastern Conference tournament. A month later, Summitt guided the Lady Vols to their eighth NCAA title.
Labs are pretty big dogs – it’s odd that Summitt would feel the need to chase down a raccoon… Of course, maybe she remembers what happened to Vol Mascot Smokey VII.
Oh, ok.
HAHAHAHAHA! Dude, this is hilarious!
omg i thought raccoon’s hate dog or other thing lol
This would be funny if the dog in the pic was the correct breed of dog there has never been a all white soxed smokey mascot for the university of tennessee. This dog looks to be of the begal breed which is in no way even close to a bluetick coondog!
