Spirit the Eagle wants Club seats

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

((ht: saturdaydownsouth.com))

We've been waiting for this video to surface all weekend.

The eagle known as "Spirit" who fly's through the air with the greatest of ease to start Auburn's football home games, made a little detour in this weeks flight.

"Spirit" appears to either be distracted by his own reflection, looking for air conditioning or maybe has something out for one of the scribes in the Press Box as he bangs into the window sealing it off, before continuing on his way.

Honestly, though we don't particularly harbor any love for Auburn football, we've seen "Spirit" fly in person and really, it is pretty damn cool.

We looked, albeit briefly for this video on Saturday, we are glad to see it finally surface. And yes, because he wasn't hurt, we can make fun of this.

And yes, it is funny. And no, he wasn't hurt.

You Cannot Stop Spirit, You Can Only Hope To Contain Him

All those of us at OSG HQ can say is that the damn bird cost the Atlanta Hawks game 2in their series against the Miami Heat.

If you believe in such things...
We don't...we just wanted to see if you were paying attention...
Normally, "Spirit" is a hawk mascot that flies to his handler before the games start at Philips Arena. This time, however, before Game 2 he refused.

You'll see some of his shenanigans before he was bribed by his hander to return to ground level. The shenanigans in question lasted for the first FOUR MINUTES of the game. it takes up the first 25 seconds or so before the actual game had highlights worthy of being shown.

It got so bad the Heat players wouldn't continue until Spirit was commandeered.
Dwyane Wade was unconscious and Brother Phil predicted the margin of victory.
The series is tied at a game a piece as they head to Miami to play Game 3 in the series sometime in mid-July.
