One tricky thing about having a live animal for a mascot is that they don’t use toilets. Army and Rice learned that the hard way on Saturday. 

The start of the second quarter was delayed briefly after one of Army’s mules meandered into the end zone and left a gift for the grounds crew to clean up. 

The announcers were barely able to keep their composure. 

Somebody get the Army Corps of Engineers to design a mule litter box.
