His parents, who are from the Great Smokey Mountains, moved to Centennial park in Nashville when they heard the Titans were coming to town. T-Rac was born in the Parthenon and he grew up hunting ravens and jaguars along the Cumberland River while watching Adelphia Coliseum being built. T-Rac’s dream was to live and work in Adelphia Coliseum. His dream almost didn’t come true when he was run over by the Titans Bus while he was on his way to the first ever scrimmage at Adelphia Coliseum. The burly T-Rac escaped with only a broken claw and a smooshed fluffy tail. T-Rac and Titans owner Bud Adams became friends almost immediately. He was offered a job changing the light bulbs in the big red things above the Coliseum because T-Rac was the only one fearless and crazy enough to take the job. Eventually the Titans wanted a mascot to represent the team and state. The Raccoon, after all, is the official state animal of Tennessee and T-Rac’s goofy and energetic antics made him the perfect fit. When he was offered a three figure signing bonus he accepted, was delivered to the stadium with much fanfare, and the rest is history. Platform: To stop hit and runs on all Raccoons and get Raccoon crossings at all major highways and Interstates (especially near Adelphia Coliseum) Offseason: Pizza delivery (until he got fired for delivering only empty boxes). He now does appearances for his many fans throughout the Mid-South. |
