T-Rac is the official mascot of the NFL's Tennessee Titans. He was born at The Parthenon in Tennessee. His hometown is in Nashville, Tennessee. He grew up hunting ravens and jaguars along the Cumberland River while LP Field was being built. His future dream of becoming a future participant with the Titans almost didn't happen, when the Titans' Bus accidentally ran over him. It turns out that he saved his sister from getting run over. T-Rac escaped with only a broken claw and a flattened tail. Almost immediately, T-Rac and Bud Adams (the Titans owner) became very good friends.
At first, the Titans hired T-Rac to change the stadium lights, since he was the only one who was completely fearless enough to climb that high. Ultimately, the Titans needed a mascot that would represent the team and the state. Since the raccoon was the official state animal and T-Rac was already goofy and looney, the Titans hired him right on the spot. Ever since then, he's been making the crowd at every Titans home game energetic for their team.
His stats says that his height is real tall, his weight is heavy, his age tells us that he's young at heart, and he graduated from the Mascot Academy in Athens, Greece in 1999. He wants his future hometown to be the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. His favorite heroes are John Wayne, Yosemite Sam, Ranger Rick, Ricky the Raccoon, and Goofy. His favorite color is Titans Blue, his favorite food is anything that's free, his favorite team is (of course) the Titans, his favorite number is 00 (since that's his jersey number), and his favorite saying is "I didn't do it!"
He likes to drag race down 2nd Avenue, do bellyflops off of the Woodland St. Bridge, make appearances throughout the mid-south, get people to laugh and cheer, watch cartoons, travel through space, read about himself on titansonline.com, give Titan-Sized huges, watch Animal Planet, answer fan mail and/or e-mails from young Titans fans, and even eat rotisserie ravens, jaguar jerky, bengal kabobs, and ram on a stick.
He hopes that one day, all raccoons can have their own interstate highway system, especially around LP Field. During the off-season, he used to deliver pizzas, until he got fired for only delivering empty boxes. Now, he visits many of his fans through the mid-south.
Finally, his current home is within the scoreboard on the North Side of LP Field.
On August 12, 2006, a golf cart driven by T-Rac was responsible for injuring New Orleans Saints back-up quarterback Adrian McPherson.
