College football game delayed by mascot pooping on the field

A college football game had an unfortunate delay Friday night.

When a pony has to go, it’s going to do its business. SMU’s game with Navy was delayed Friday after Mustangs mascot Peruna pooped on the field.

A football game was paused tonight while student assistants used Gatorade cups to scoop up actual horse shit on a football field that a pony crapped out while celebrating a touchdown.

College football’s best moment of 2022.
