Arkansas plays possum, runs down LSU late
FAYETTEVILLE — At the conclusion of Arkansas’ 11-6 victory over visiting LSU on Friday night, the video board at Baum-Walker Stadium featured a picture of an animated dead possum that had been run over.
It was a nice trolling reference to the Tigers’ much-celebrated "Rally Possum" that came onto the field in Baton Rouge, La., and sparked a comeback from a 9-1 deficit in the fifth inning to a 10-9 win on May 7, 2016.
It was also appropriate for how LSU coach Paul Mainieri and his squad felt after seeing Arkansas explode for 11 unanswered runs after the Tigers had taken a 3-0 lead.
