During Texas Tech’s home game against TCU on Thursday night, a furry guest decided to sprint onto the field to announce itself to the world.
A possum darted out onto the gridiron during the game, which prompted stadium workers to find a grabber to snag the critter and get it off the field and into the possession of those who can humanely relocate it back to the wild.
However, the little fella did not seem all that thrilled about losing its perfect seat for the college football action as it screeched something in possum as it was dragged out of the stadium.
That possum paid for sideline seats, dang it, and it deserved to stay!

Well, this possum probably will go tell all of its woodland friends about how it snuck onto the field in Lubbock, and it’ll be a heck of a humblebrag.
However, maybe Texas Tech fans throwing tortillas onto the field wasn’t the best idea when there was a possum in the house.

CFB fans couldn't get enough of the Texas Tech possum.
This ain’t Texas Tech’s first rodeo with a possum on the field. https://t.co/Fkj8EWbT69
