Opossum Invades TCU-Texas Tech Football Game, Elicits Viral Reactions Online

Furry Pitch Invader Hilariously Dragged Off During First Quarter of Game, Spurs Social Media Memes and Draws Sympathy from Spectators and School Officials

A possum unexpectedly barged onto the field during the first quarter of a college football game between Texas Tech and TCU, causing a disruption and triggering hilarity among the fans and online spectators.
The creature, initially allowed to scamper around, was reluctantly dragged off the field by an apparent animal control staff member using a snare pole, despite appearing to resist and digging its claws into the turf.
The incident was widely captured and shared on social media, inspiring numerous humorous memes and reactions, turning the animal into an online sensation.
In a surprising turn, Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec was caught on camera petting the opossum, and some Texas Tech fans even branded it their 'lucky possum', suggesting it should be kept.
Despite the possum's interruption, Texas Tech proceeded to win the game against TCU with a score of 35-28.
