Yeah, you're 25-81-9, but you stole Smokey. Nice parlor trick.

I'll take the 81 wins. Only thing in Kentucky worth stealing is your bourbon.

Go steal an elephant. Maybe that will help you feel better about Bama.

Go Vols.

Those rabies shots had to hurt. My guess is that Smokey took them like a champ.

Go Vols.

"Some UK fans reportedly planned a Knoxville raid. Roadblocks were setup by students and a carload was taken hostage in exchange for Smokey, a request that fell on deaf ears."

Even UK didn't want their fans back.

"In 1955 a Tennessee undergrad arrived in Lexington for law school with press credentials and intimate knowledge of Smokey’s whereabouts. Beauchamp Brogan was the perfect inside man."

F'in attorney's.

Good story though.

I am relaxed. I just don't understand why you carpetbaggers feel the need to go to a rival site to talk about football.

Well, now that I look at that way, it makes perfect sense.

Go Vols.

Relax Little Cat is good people. Been on the site for awhile now.

Was simpler times. The service academies have been stealing each other’s mascots even until recently. Two years ago some West Point cadets kidnapped the Air Force falcon and the bird almost died.

It's a random story from 60 years ago involving football.

Sometimes they scrimmaged with the team.



They still March in the Homecoming Parade.

Sorry I had to post and run but yeah I thought it was a neat story from a bygone era, something you would see out of a college movie.

 

[tnutater]

Up in my holler, they hang coon dog thieves, very big no-no.

I guess when you have the history of Kentucky football, these are the kinds of stories you talk about among friends and pass down to the kids and grandkids.

Seriously though, funny story. I don’t recall ever hearing about it before.

I guess it's a good way to work on speed training.

Bunch of 5.4 40s becoming 4.6 40s with that chasing you.

The best way to slow down a bear, besides shooting it, is to give it a Dr Pepper.

Something tells me that if things go sideways, that chain around the bear's neck is pretty much ineffective.
