My brother witnessed the 1994 tragedy. He said they put a tarp over the carcass during the game and sometime later a tractor came out without fanfare and dragged it off with a chain tied to it. He said chicks in the stands were bawling.

The horse was definitely in 1994 but what year was this saddle tramp on the field doing this………[url=https://youtu.be/7Wt6cDs0cm8][/url]

'04-'05ish I think?

Suicide? No. Accidental death by running into a wall at the stadium? Yes.

Apparently being the masked rider at tceh is a big deal involving a several step process and interviews. We know a family whose daughter tried out.

I have no love lost for that school but I don't feel good about making fun of the incident.

Also, horse people are freaks and many would see the death of a horse as being worse than the death of a child.

And why in the world was Bobcat Goldthwait at that game??

He probably committed suicide because he was listening to Louie Belina

Who cares, it's tceh. Move along….

I remember this, it didn't happen that long ago. If memory serves me correctly that horse ran about a 100 yards full speed into a wall.

But if I were a horse that was used as a prop for that shty school I might do the same.

Is there a video of this anywhere? That sounds hilarious af.

I remember Spike Dykes press conference after that game. We used to quote it after every tech loss. "Poor ol' Double T"

Horses are already pretty dumb. Imagine how dumb the ones are that get stuck with Tech as their only option.

Tceh is known as an STD riddled school. The horse clearly had syphilis and resulting brain issues, causing it to think the flying tortillas were alien flying saucers, and was running uncontrollably to avoid them, which resulted in a miscalculation of spatial relations and speed causing it to run into a narrow passage and then a wall.

That or to end it all, because, Tceh.

Well yeah, in Lubbock you should always mask your rider beforehand

This is the closest I could find for the incident... don't think any cameras were in position to catch the actual impact. I feel bad for the horse, but that's nothing that some wacky Benny Hill sound effects couldn't fix.
