RIP - Tusk II

Tusk II, the live mascot of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, died of natural causes this past Monday on the family farm where he lived during the offseason. Like many college teams, Arkansas has a costumed mascot as well as the live version. Tusk II inherited the job from his father in 2005 and led the Razorbacks to a 35-28 record including a 20-17 victory last Saturday in the Liberty Bowl. His brother, Tusk III, will take over as official mascot.
