The above release details some of the great years Tusk V presided over as Arkansas’s live mascot:
Born April 19, 2018, Tusk V served as the official live mascot of the Razorbacks from 2019-22. Within that span, Arkansas turned in the two most successful years in the history of the program, including a pair of top-10 finishes in the Learfield Directors’ Cup and 18 combined SEC Championships, more than double the championships of the next closest SEC program (7).
Tusk’s brother will take over the role of Arkansas’s live mascot as Tusk VI.
Be expecting a letter from PETA and it won’t be condolences either.
Hopefully the UA responds by sending PETA some bacon and a rack of ribs.
I agree. People for Eating Tasty Animals will be writing soon to request some ribs and pulled pork.
Poor animal. That last year of Chad Morris took years off his life.
I think the Morris era took years off the lives of many of us human Razorbacks as well.
Did Brett Bielema eat it?
That was to funny Ron!
Serious note sad for the Arkansas family .. Losing a pet is Always tuff but when the pet is your schools mascot I am sure it is harder .
We’re having a BBQ memorial; ribs, pulled pork, tenderloin…
lol, f*** you.
You made me spit cola all over my keyboard.
It would be one hell of a BBQ come spring. Sell platters before game for a good cause(peta), or is that sick, lol.
