Some Nebraska player took a selfie with a raccoon, was somehow shocked that it bit him, and responded by beating it to death with a loving wrench :stare:

Why? They aren't big animals, and a wrench is at least 2-3 lbs of steel? One good whack to the head probably was enough to cause fatal damage.

Raccoons aren't big but they're quick and mean as poo poo if threatened. I'm impressed he got in there with a heavy enough blow without it running off or attacking.

I'm impressed that he was able to get within wrench range and immobilize it before it could get away.

Both of those responses are reasonable answers to my inquiry. I've generally avoided them because they're tricky smart, and usually full of disease. Sucks to be that raccoon.

Although a bunch of the local folks I knew when I lived in TN told tales of keeping them as pets.

He was wearing a black shirt, so the racoon knew better than to attack.

Well let's be honest, there might, maybe be multiple people with Boise State hoodies in the state of Alabama. I doubt more than one of them is wielding a machete at any given time though.

I assumed that a machete was standard equipment carried by anyone on foot in the South, so that they don't become overwhelmed by kudzu if they fall down or stop moving for any reason.

Not just saying this as a TCU fan, but that clearing does fill me with concern. Especially the week that they found a concussed player dead in a dumpster, concussions need to be taken so seriously.

Maybe we should replace the Toomer's oaks with kudzu on a trellis. The next Updyke would have to use a nuke.
