SMU-Navy college football game delayed due to horse poop on the field
- A college football game between SMU and Navy had to be delayed after a mascot pooped on the field.
- Peruna IX, the Shetland Pony that represents the SMU Mustangs at games, got a little too excited during a touchdown trot across the field.
Friday night's college football matchup between SMU and Navy experienced an unscheduled interruption after SMU's mascot relieved himself on the field.
After the SMU Mustangs scored a touchdown, their mascot Peruna IX, a Shetland Pony, took a celebratory trot across the field along with his handlers.
But things got messy during the run, as Peruna IX got a bit too excited about the Mustangs offensive success.
According to SMU's website, former President George W. Bush was also in attendance.
On Twitter, fans watching at home watched in disbelief as the game was held up in order to clear the field.
On the broadcast, commentators Roy Philpott and Andre Ware struggled to suppress their giggles while describing why exactly the game was being delayed.
"I do believe I have seen it all now," Philpott concluded.
After a short break, the game was able to resume, with the Mustangs ultimately prevailing 40-34.
