I think you are right about Arky. They opted for taking the field through that pig snout thing instead.
That USCe/UT game probably had SOS growing ulcers on his ulcers, as much as he dominated UT in the 90s. A royal but kicking that night, and at Kiffie's hands at that.
And that was the cheesiest thing ever! It looked like it was made by a Jr. High Pep Squad for their JV game. I'd be embarrassed to have that thing seen on national TV.
