VIDEO: Football-Loving Cat Invades Field in Middle of South Florida vs Memphis AAC Game
By Mark Powell
Texas is not back, but the football cat is! Just weeks after making a grand entrance in the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys NFL game on Monday Night Football, another dark-colored cat -- or the same one, we have no proof either way -- briefly interrupted play between the USF Bulls and Memphis Tigers Saturday.

The only thing this is missing is Kevin Harlan.
In a 49-10 ballgame (at this juncture), the cat must have felt the contest needed some renewed interest, and they would be right. By dashing next to the sidelines, we not only got a glimpse of what this feline character would clock in a 40-yard dash, but also gained the unique perspective of the players on the South Florida sidelines, who somehow didn't even flinch at the bizarre scene.
usf should consider recruiting that cat. Probably could attract more fans than usual https://t.co/P5DJ3lHjpL

USF is not a good football team, as they're about to fall to 4-7. With bowl eligibility out of the question, perhaps recruiting this cat as a walk-on would help attract a lacking fanbase towards the end of a long, arduous season.
