North Carolina A&T mascot, the Aggie Bulldog in the background, fit perfectly in this photobomb between Kentucky’com’s Jerry Tipton and the Reverend Jesse Jackson at Rupp Arena today.
Steve Jones of the Courier Journal tweeted the photo, so I am sure he also took the picture.

Here is a little information from wikipedia about the Aggie Bulldog if you are curious:
“Aggie” is the mascot for North Carolina A&T. The term “Aggie” has long been used to refer to students who attend agricultural schools. Hence the reason North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University adopted the nickname “Aggies” when the school was founded in 1891. According to oral history, The origin of the Aggie Bulldog mascot stems from a tale of a shepherd dog, a bulldog, that was kept on the NC A&T farm to assist in herding the cattle and other animals into shelter. During a football game the Aggies had become despondent. In the last few minutes of the game, an Aggie fullback broke through the opposition’s defense and scored a touchdown, but was deemed no good by a referee. It is said that at that moment, an unidentified person untied the bulldog which then attacked the referee. The incident was said to almost cost the then College membership in the CIAA, but it vindicated the Aggies. It is said that from that day on, the mascot for the football team has been a bulldog
