Title: For those that weren't able to attend the game to see Spirit Fly......

She actually left the stadium...I thought she was gone.  But she came back, thank God.  That would've been a bad omen.

here's one that shows here leaving the stadium a little better.

She didn't actually leave the stadium...as you can see in the first video. But she did come very very close. I thought she was going to but did a u-turn right as she made it near the ramp.

The second video just loses sight of her as she went around the overhang of the upper deck. I was sitting right near the edge of the stands and had a good view of it.

What yall have is the coolest thing in all of college sports. :thumbsup:
If they would let us release a 500 lb boar hog in the stadium, yall would still be #2.

     The eagle is ultra cool. According to our athletic director, the next Tusk is going to be raised to run out on the field on a lead, similar to the buffalo at Colorado.  Not sure it's the smartest idea myself, but what do I know.

I was talking about turning Tusks loose.
I have some Catahoulas that can catch him.
I'd like to see the helmet buggy make a comeback, too. Not the little RC job. The big one.

When i was a junior in HS the senior class played a prank at one of our pep rallies by releasing a greased pig inside the stadium fences.  When noone could catch the damn thing, our school cop cornered it and proceeded to shoot it.  Needless to say they took his gun away after that.

just telling the story so that ARKY thinks twice about letting a pig loose in pregame

Wouldn't happen here. Somebody would plug the cop before he cleared leather.

Thanks for posting, Prowler.  I can't wait to see it for the first time this year on Saturday.

What was the eagle's name before Nova (who was before Spirit)?  That sumbitch would fly full laps around the stadium, every game, without fail.  It would be close to a two minute flight.  Spirit likes to hang out in one quadrant/half of the stadium, most of the time.  I think that she needs to be trained to take a huge shit on the visitor side when she flies over it.

Actually Nova is officially War Eagle VII, while Spirit is the Bald Eagle that also does pre-game flights.  Tiger was the name of War Eagle VI that was retired during the GA game two years ago.

Yes...Tiger.  Best flying eagle we've had.

She had a motor that never stopped, like David Pollack.

Speaking of which that bitch is a commentator now, I believe it was halftime of the Auburn game on da U.  He's lost a bunch of weight, his motor did appear to be running as well.

He was the one on the U that said Auburn's in was the most impressive because they actually played somebody (when referring to the new coaches in the SEC).

So you're saying that Pollack stuck his neck out?
