Skunk Confirmed at Open Practice

[WorfHog]

Did anyone else see the skunk that was hanging out at open practice today? The skunk wandered out of the concourse and it gave the crowd quite the scare right before practice started.

Petrino is back in town?

Petrino is back in town?

Nah, that was his back-burner chick.

[Biggus Piggus]

I saw the skunk on the scrimmage stats thread, too. Won't go away.

Lol

[FANONTHEHILL]

We were sitting in the second row of the chair backs at about the 35 on the south end. About 20 minutes before practice started about a dozen people suddenly got up and started running toward us.  The skunk came up our aisle to about the level of the 25, made a u-turn and ran back to the stairs that go down to the field.  Crossed the back wall of the end zone and went under the stands behind the goalpost.

[bythelake]

The question is, could you smell it.  If he spewed it would be bad.

[BearsBisonsBoars]

Petrino is back in town?

Fantastic +1

Petrino is back in town?

Your negative Karma should be completely expunged. I'll help +1

[Hog N Bama]

It was Auburn's latest spy in true form

Was the skunk on a bike with a blonde?

Trap that skunk, & keep it alive.  Turn it loose during the Ole Miss game, in the visitors locker room... at halftime.

Riveting thread.  Will read again.

Real question is if the skunk sprayed the Ole Miss players would you really be able to tell much difference?

[Vantage 8 dude]

Didn't realize ole Gus and Freeze had tried to slip in uninvited. Not surprised though.

[jgphillips3]

I somehow thought this was going to be about the smell of weed wafting through the stands.

[WJBilly]

Nah, that was his back-burner chick.

skunk not skank

[Torqued pork]

Skunks are usually nocturnal. It was an omen. We will stink it up this year's. Book it.

Did it spray?  You know the whole ground hog see's his shadow bs.  If it didn't spay, we won't stink this year...

I find it VERY interest that in this day of cell phones not ONE picture of the skunk has surfaced...

I agree!

Might make that locker smell better, too...

They said skunk, not beaver.  So Freeze is out.

im not trying to be an a$$ or to be arguementacious (sp) with you. Nor do I want to impail the character of that news outlet but....while I can confirm it IS a skunk I cant verify, based on that pic that it is infact in DWRRS.  That could easily have been a stock photo of a skunk. I just have lost faith in the local media. Id advise you ALL to keep an open mind that this entire skunk thing could be a hoax devised by Bo Mattingsly, mouthpiece for the Man.

Jack, I don't blame you for your skepticism.  But I have it on good authority that the fellow that was spied was indeed at DWRRS.  Seems he was there to apply for special teams coach, but Coach Beliema told him we didn't need one.  He did pose for a more formal photo before he left though.

haha. Yeah special teams got us beat a few times!  But seriously, this thing has Bo Mattingslys finger prints all over it. He stirs up  a skunk controversy to keep the focus off the issues. He and his lickspittle Bart want to keep our attention off of the issues and on buying tickets from Jeff Long.  I wouldnt be a bit suprized if today he has Long on there to adress the skunk problem, the spread of rabies, is the skunk pregnant an ready to pup, will the skunk be gone by fall, how my
Uch are tix.... so on and so forth....anything but depth in the secondary. Smh

Doesn't Uncle Tugo or Blister Wickes have a pet skunk? Prolly need OTR to validate that. If so, I bet that pic is straight from the time Tugo or Blister's skunk got loose and was creeping around the abandoned mansion next to the Catfish Hole.

[pondwater jack]

Yes, he1l yes.  his uncle has one with no sent/cent (?) gland.  Had for 3-4 years. "Balls" is what they call him.( If you saw him from the back youd know) They rescued him as a pup on the side of a cliff hed fallen down and gotten seperated from his momma.  Ill bet they lead with this today. Predictable.  Bo frothing at the mouth and lickspittle just trotting along beside him, tongue sticking out, licking bo's chops. 

[pondwater jack]

Theres a pair of dogs that come thru the trailer park every afternoon, a bulldog that is the alpha and a half chiwawa, half palmeranian, half beagle. The little one licking the big ones chops the whole way. I always chuckle and say, "heres Bo and Bart"

Good insights right here, folks. Jack, do you think the skunk will have any impact on the haunting patterns of Darrell Royal's Floating Flaming Fulminating Spectral Head? I believe this time of year ol' Royal's head comes out of Barnhill and starts haunting The concourse at DWRRS.

When Iron Mike Irwin strolls into MMQB like he was walking onto a yacht and tells me that a skunk has made his way onto the practice field then I will believe it. Looking at the usual suspects who have jumped into this thread is enough to make me question the validity of everything about this story.

Ever spring about this time there's a story of a skunk or some other varmint showing up at practice and scaring the daylights out of everybody....kind of like stories of bigfoot showing his face down around Charleston or Lavaca or some other two horse town. Gets everybody all het up and regular lies turn into whoppers and the next thing you know we got half the team going in to get a rabies shot and there's nothing but panic all over the place. 

Hate to say it but just about everyone in this thread has cried wolf in here before, telling stories and getting all the normal folks in here panicky.  And here comes jack blasingame fanning the flames, playing on everyone's fears.  That man has stared down many a skunk while camping yet here he is in here stirring the pot.

There wasn't no skunk and everbody needs to calm down and take a deep breath.  I think they ought to lock down this thread and ban everybody who's posted in it. Let's start focusing on football and quit worrying about skunks.  If the martial arts have taught me anything it's how to bust a brick with my bare hands and how to stay calm and logical in a skunk thread instead of hollering around like a hog with a corncob like some of you are doing here.

So, it was Uncle Tugo's skunk. Jack called it, folks!

[pondwater jack]

ill say this about uncle T's skunk, "Balls", from the back when hes walking away from you, if you could imagine slipping a black sock off a babys foot, then taking two titlest golf balls an forcing them into that taut black babys sock, well thats just about what youve got.  Hes bowlegged.

Lol.  Probably difficult to take pictures, while you're running in the opposite direction....

[pondwater jack]

It's funny to me how I saw thru this one.  No substantail pictures to document the existence of the fabled "Razorback Stadium Skunk"  LOL.  I single handedly saw thru this for what it was and called it and sent this one to its watery grave.

Yep, Jack was on the front lines of this one. I can only assume Darrell Royal's Floating Flaming Fulminating Spectral Head will be free range and at full strength for the spring game.

[FANONTHEHILL]

From Arkansas Democrat Gazette.  Just before he ducked under the stands as I mentioned it my post above.  Sorry folks, it happened.

If Jadcks says it's photoshopped, then it's photoshopped. It was prolly just the back wall of the Catfish Hole prior to adding in the Razorback accoutrements.

[pondwater jack]

Now again, I dont look for trouble but there is no guarantee that photo was taken on said date. Clearly visible is the word Arkansas, but if I could see something to indicate that it wasnt Baum stadium or some tennis court. Does anyone share my concern this whole deal is rigged and staged to grab headlines?  Does anyone see my point? If not, ill shut up.  This pic seems a little forced.

[pondwater jack]

Now if I saw, with my own eyes, Jeff Ling in the background waving behind the skunk, or holding the skunk, or better yet adopting the skunk and getting him fixed where he caint spray and letting him have a home there at the boss area, I categorically could not chellenge the austerity of the photo.  Wouldnt that make for a feel good story?  Arkansas's Long adopts and finds room for skunk at Hog Headquarters! :-) Id accept it as fact.  But a man can only take so much of a skunk getting pushed out there for public consumption.

I'm with you, Jack. Hog fans shouldn't be so sheepish to consume this whole social media driven skunk incident under false pretenses. I believe Shakespeare wrote it best in the "Merchant of Venice", "If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? And if you skunk us, shall we not revenge?".
