Good. More colleges should have live mascots. Especially unique ones.

Where do y’all get your razorbacks from? Is there some group of razor back breeders that nobody knows about?

Allow me to offer my condolences as well.
Always especially sad when our non-human friends move on.

I am so sorry for Tusk and your fan base.

Being an animal lover, I hate to see any animal die.

Being a college football fan, it is so horrible to see a mascot die. These mascots are so important to their fans and are so awesome. Of course we will never have a live mascot, but I love all the other live mascots of other teams.

RIP Tusk IV

I have a serious question and I am honesty not trying to be an a-hole even though I am going to sound like it. Why do people get so emotional at the death of a mascot? If you helped raise the animal or if you helped care for it, I understand 100% and have no questions for you.

But if you didn’t, like you just went to school there, and especially if you never went to school with that particular mascot (say Mike III) how is it that people
Have such an emotional connection to that animal that condolences are actually fitting and not over the top?

My deepest condolences. Live mascots are a treasure and very few schools have them these days.

Rest easy, Tusk IV. You're in Hog Heaven now.

Why do people get so emotional about a bunch of 18-20 yr olds kids playing a game?

Any Arkansas fan acting like we had the same emotional attachment to Tusk as LSU and its Tiger or the schools with dog mascots is absolutely trolling.
