Between 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!

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!
