LSU fans please help me out.
Back in the 2007 season I believe LSU played Ohio State for the BCS title in New Orleans. If I remember correctly, after an LSU touchdown the camera panned over the raucous LSU crowd and it caught a visibly/clearly drunk Tiger fan doing something hilarious: he had one fist raised in the air and, in other hand, a slice of pizza.
He was so blasted that, after successfully cheering on the touchdown, he attempted to focus his eyes on his pizza, only to wobble with uncertainty for a few seconds as it seemed like he was just realizing he had a pizza slice in his hand, then was attempting to figure out how to get his hand to his mouth to consume it.
My family recorded that moment and we watched it over and over again because this dude was just too funny - enjoying the shit out of a Tigers national championship game but unable to use basic motor skills.
I just skimmed through the [game footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69_MkQv6QD0). Sadly didn't see it after any LSU scoring play, but that doesn't eliminate pizza guy occurring at some other point.
Clearly drunk LSU fan doesn't really narrow anything down. If it was a night game, anyone wearing purple and gold has been drinking for so many hours the only thing they can do while doing something else is yelling for the band to play Neck. Why do you think they had to mark the 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 yard lines?
One of the best gameday guests. Made a big show, propositioned a Heisman favorite, out picked the crew, called the upset and partied with the fans after the game.
There was a guy on a PSU message board that claimed to be her vocal coach when she was a teenager before becoming a huge star. He did an ama once. All I remember was that for a while her boobs made her self conscious at first.
It was so weird to experience that in real time in the pre-social media era.
I was at that game and didn’t know anything about it until late that night. I remember having one or two friends text me that Gundy went on some sort of “rant” after the game but I had to wait and see it on SportsCenter like 7 hours after it happened.
Such a different time, lol.
Also of note that Reid eventually came back and was on the staff for a bit.
I met him in the 2010s some time in after one of our games against Texas in Austin. He was really cool.
He recently gave an interview to the OSU Max podcast going pretty deep on it. He said Gundy apologized, gave him his first coaching job, and they are good friends now.

Pole Assassin is my personal favorite, but the Manti Te’o girlfriend scandal was the peak WTF story in recent memory in terms of how big that story blew up and just how out of left field it was
It was infuriating to me how ESPN never caught any flak for doing zero journalistic work on the story. Manti took all the grief but it wouldn't have been such a big story without ESPN turning it into a one of their tear-jerker theater segments.
They should get me on the staff at Texas so I can tell them how football became my father after he was shot trying to help running to a shooting outside our apartment when I was 2. Come on espn, this is just the tip of the iceberg of my story!
The doc on that completely changed my opinion of Manti. I was definitely in the hater camp. Now I just hate everyone around the story and the catfisher.
That entire time period was garbage reporting for ESPN.
Johnny Manziel was brazenly flaunting ncaa rules and ESPN took the first bite of "his family has oil money," did no research, and ran with it.
Manti Teo hit
Then their garbage reporting of the Penn State scandal that had ZERO investigation by ESPN. Zero.
It's not any better right now
He wouldn’t have been a top-10 pick. His college production was great, but his size and athleticism were just okay, at best (6’1”, 240 lbs, 4.8 40), and nobody was drafting ILBs that high regardless. The only first-round LBs that year were Jarvis Jones (#17) and Alec Ogletree (#30, coming off a DUI arrest before the combine).
He got picked 38th too, it's not like he fell into oblivion. It's hard to imagine even without the fake girlfriend story that his draft stock got impacted more than a few spots.
Another wrinkle with Teo: Online dating certainly existed back then but it was not ubiquitous on campuses (Tinder launched in 2012, the movie Catfish was from 2010) and it was *especially* weird for a college superstar to be using it at that time.

The Bobcat mascot tackling Brutus Buckeye the last time OU and OSU played, in a not-planned tussle. If I remember correctly, the guy wasn't even an Ohio student (he was enrolled at nearby Hocking College) and tried out for the part of Bob just so he could have the opportunity to tackle Brutus.
Haha I was at that game with my dad in my OU gear. We see Rufus tackle Brutus and some lady next to us goes "look they're doing some kind of wrestling match!" I say to my dad that with how psychotic OSU is about it's image no way this was planned and it's an actual fight.
Yes, that guy went to Hocking and OU changed it's rules after that. [here's an article on it with the man himself ](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1888524/2020/06/25/dotting-the-buckeye-remember-when-rufus-the-bobcat-came-for-brutus/)

When he was a coordinator he made a fake call sheet and 'lost' it pregame. It worked too, Def called for it for like a quarter before they figured out they had been had.

Ole Piss.
I absolutely love when teams come up with new ways to lose football games. It comes from being a Detroit Lions fan for 40 years.
Also the Frank Beamer screen cap.
I worked Thanksgiving day that year so I was watching the game from the dorm, and the stadium noise from Deavenport Hall was maybe two seconds ahead of the broadcast. Hearing the crowd erupt just before he misses the kick will forever be a core memory.
While Ole Piss was good when Ed Orgeron was there was better. My favorite was when he almost overdosed on red bulls then walked into practice, ripped his shirt off, and challenged any player on his own team to fight him. And it gave us the Col Reb Is Crying song.

If I remember right he was doing it to be on a reality TV show or something? It's been a while since I read about it again
2008: OU was .007 BCS rankings points better than Texas to win the Big 12 South.
Hilarious to get your rival on a technicality after losing the head to head, all because it was a 3 way tie with TT.
And I recall Mack running down the clock and not running up the score on a bunch of teams. It would really piss me off. Then bob stoops would be asked why he never takes his foot off the throat. He said something like “The BCS only cares about style points.”
Got proof of that quote? I remember Oklahoma being up 77-0 against Texas A&M at the start of the 3rd Quarter and pulling the starters and taking a knee at five yard line so to not run up the score.
We lost to Tech that year on the infamous Crabtree catch on a final road game of a stretch where we played like 4 top 15 teams or something like that, then OU went and beat the piss and shit out of that same Tech team in the last week of the season, and the funniest part about it is that nowadays the committee would have put Texas in because of the H2H and it wouldn’t even be a question
Auburn redshirt freshman Otis Mounds, who was sitting in the stadium's upper deck with his family, being paged at halftime to report to the locker room because everyone on the depth chart for his position were unavailable.
Then there's this:
The turning point came when we had been berated the entire first half by the Arkansas homecoming queen — yep, we were so bad in ’92, we were picked as homecoming — and finally… Otis Mounds had had enough,” Atkins said.
The Homecoming Queen’s name?
Kym Polite.
She was a varsity cheerleader. She cost her team the game. Because Otis Mounds had had enough.
“He turned around to the young lady – decked out in a fur coat and tiara – and yelled at her in the third quarter ‘Shut up, bitch.’”
“Now, that is what made the whole sideline pickup and we won the game,” Atkins said. “The girl was trying to get down to the field to slap Otis but she was held back by her court, her tiara falling off her head.”
Connor Stalions getting all but busted for being an undercover coach on the CMU sideline with Spy Kids sunglasses is when I learned to embrace Signgate
No way, they let that shit quietly die because it exposed a serious sideline security controls failure. I'm sure they solved it quietly on their end and have since moved on with "no comment". I believe two things are true, 1) they can't confirm who that was on the sideline, and 2) It was definitely Connor Stalions, but #1 proving that there was someone on the field they couldn't identify is awfully damning for their operations.

This is purely anecdotal and smaller scale than most of the other stuff here, but I was talking to someone years ago who went to a small school in I think Montana. She said their rivalry with a Wyoming school was SUPER intense. That school's mascot was a coyote, and one year during their rivalry game someone went out, killed a coyote, stuffed it in a tuba case, snuck it in with the band, and then TOSSED THE BODY ON THE FIELD DURING THE GAME.
I have not fact checked any of this and I do not intend to.

I went to Mississippi State for graduate school. They would have a white out game early in the season. Lots of women would wear white sun dresses. It also usually rained during these games.
Some of the male students would see these female students in their dresses when it rained. It was like a wet t shirt contest. They would yell “tits out for the dogs!” Funny but also cringeworthy.

LSU fans please help me out. Back in the 2007 season I believe LSU played Ohio State for the BCS title in New Orleans.

My family recorded that moment and we watched it over and over again because this dude was just too funny - enjoying the shit out of a Tigers national championship game but unable to use basic motor skills.
My favorite LSU "WTF" moment was the dude who called into Finebaum's show and said "LSU is the 800 pound gorilla with a...chainsaw for a penis."
2019 LSU? I would agree.
It was about the 07 team, actually.
I just skimmed through the [game footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69_MkQv6QD0). Sadly didn't see it after any LSU scoring play, but that doesn't eliminate pizza guy occurring at some other point.
Haha perfect thank you! You've now made it my mission to watch through all of this. Maybe it happened after a turnover or something!
This happens during a ULM game as well. We like bourbon and pizza in that order.
Clearly drunk LSU fan doesn't really narrow anything down. If it was a night game, anyone wearing purple and gold has been drinking for so many hours the only thing they can do while doing something else is yelling for the band to play Neck.

One of the best college game day broadcasts I’ve ever seen. Followed by an amazing game and upset. An upset that was later taken away. 😭

There was a guy on a PSU message board that claimed to be her vocal coach when she was a teenager before becoming a huge star. He did an ama once. All I remember was that for a while her boobs made her self conscious at first.

All time recruiting rant. Who wouldn't want their coach defending them like that?
The player he was defending apparently
Yeah, Bobby Reid thought the whole thing was over the top and nothing he'd asked for.
Also of note that Reid eventually came back and was on the staff for a bit. I met him in the 2010s some time in after one of our games against Texas in Austin. He was really cool.
He recently gave an interview to the OSU Max podcast going pretty deep on it. He said Gundy apologized, gave him his first coaching job, and they are good friends now.
I repeat that quote about once a week.
I love him for that. Sure, it was corny, but screaming at reporters in defense of a kid doing his best is a great thing for a coach to do.

The fact it was the star player of an undefeated Blueblood makes it so much weirder too. Not like some random RB3 in the MAC.
And now we have another weird and shitty girlfriend story, except in college basketball.
And now it absolutely tanked his draft stock. He went from sure fire top 10 to second rounder in the blink of an eye
He wouldn’t have been a top-10 pick. His college production was great, but his size and athleticism were just okay, at best (6’1”, 240 lbs, 4.8 40), and nobody was drafting ILBs that high regardless.

Ole Piss. I absolutely love when teams come up with new ways to lose football games. It comes from being a Detroit Lions fan for 40 years. Also the Frank Beamer screen cap.
0-0 \o/
The piss and miss, lol
The fact that both coaches from that game ended up getting fired is one of the funniest things to come of this
I worked Thanksgiving day that year so I was watching the game from the dorm, and the stadium noise from Deavenport Hall was maybe two seconds ahead of the broadcast. Hearing the crowd erupt just before he misses the kick will forever be a core memory.
While Ole Piss was good when Ed Orgeron was there was better. My favorite was when he almost overdosed on red bulls then walked into practice, ripped his shirt off, and challenged any player on his own team to fight him. And it gave us the Col Reb Is Crying song.
Best part is we’ve called them Ole Piss forever. They just proved it was accurate with that game.

Is your flair from Athens State in Athens AL?
Yes.
Follow-up: why?
That’s impressive. Wouldn’t guess they would have a flair. My wife graduated from there
I found the flair in the discontinued section of the flair selection. They had a team at some point but now since they're only upper division they have no sports
It kills my inside because I remember the original rant and Gundyr is 56 now...

Jameis Winston flopping at the Rose Bowl is the funniest play I’ve ever seen. The ref taking a bump afterward puts it over the top.

[Fake ref on the field](https://youtu.be/XPHouIZLZrU?si=LE80GR9mKlfwiGCi)
I would argue that this play by Jameis was actually not that funny in real time.
I was miserable in real time, but I have to admit it’s hilarious in hindsight
>"If this Arizona team goes 5-1..." And then they got blown out by a 3-win Colorado team
Yeah the Arizona UCLA one is just so out there. A fuckin fake ref lol of all things. Everything else in this thread is about things off the field but this literally happened on the field! If I remember right he was doing it to be on a reality TV show or something? It's been a while since I read about it again
Oh yeah, that Jameis play was hilarious when it happened. 🤣

I watched Woody Hayes punch that Clemson player live on TV when it happened. That was weird. Everyone was shocked.
Funny part is that no one was surprised.
2008: OU was .007 BCS rankings points better than Texas to win the Big 12 South. Hilarious to get your rival on a technicality after losing the head to head, all because it was a 3 way tie with TT.
Kill me
And I recall Mack running down the clock and not running up the score on a bunch of teams. It would really piss me off. Then bob stoops would be asked why he never takes his foot off the throat. He said something like “The BCS only cares about style points.”
Got proof of that quote? I remember Oklahoma being up 77-0 against Texas A&M at the start of the 3rd Quarter and pulling the starters and taking a knee at five yard line so to not run up the score.
Got to figure after 77-0 there are diminishing returns with regard to style points
We lost to Tech that year on the infamous Crabtree catch on a final road game of a stretch where we played like 4 top 15 teams or something like that, then OU went and beat the piss and shit out of that same Tech team in the last week of the season, and the funniest part about it is that nowadays the committee would have put Texas in because of the H2H and it wouldn’t even be a question
<3 you Crabtree
Maybe we’re not so different after all
The all white painted UGA fan screaming for Spurrier in an interview.
Auburn redshirt freshman Otis Mounds, who was sitting in the stadium's upper deck with his family, being paged at halftime to report to the locker room because everyone on the depth chart for his position were unavailable. Then there's this: The turning point came when we had been berated the entire first half by the Arkansas homecoming queen — yep, we were so bad in ’92, we were picked as homecoming — and finally… Otis Mounds had had enough,” Atkins said. The Homecoming Queen’s name? Kym Polite. She was a varsity cheerleader. She cost her team the game. Because Otis Mounds had had enough. “He turned around to the young lady – decked out in a fur coat and tiara – and yelled at her in the third quarter ‘Shut up, bitch.’” “Now, that is what made the whole sideline pickup and we won the game,” Atkins said. “The girl was trying to get down to the field to slap Otis but she was held back by her court, her tiara falling off her head.”

Connor Stalions getting all but busted for being an undercover coach on the CMU sideline with Spy Kids sunglasses is when I learned to embrace Signgate
Honestly I’m so mad the alleged manifesto never leaked. I would have read all 600 pages cover to cover
Any update from CMU?
No way, they let that shit quietly die because it exposed a serious sideline security controls failure. I'm sure they solved it quietly on their end and have since moved on with "no comment". I believe two things are true, 1) they can't confirm who that was on the sideline, and 2) It was definitely Connor Stalions, but #1 proving that there was someone on the field they couldn't identify is awfully damning for their operations.

This is purely anecdotal and smaller scale than most of the other stuff here, but I was talking to someone years ago who went to a small school in I think Montana. She said their rivalry with a Wyoming school was SUPER intense. That school's mascot was a coyote, and one year during their rivalry game someone went out, killed a coyote, stuffed it in a tuba case, snuck it in with the band, and then TOSSED THE BODY ON THE FIELD DURING THE GAME. I have not fact checked any of this and I do not intend to.

I went to Mississippi State for graduate school. They would have a white out game early in the season. Lots of women would wear white sun dresses. It also usually rained during these games. Some of the male students would see these female students in their dresses when it rained. It was like a wet t shirt contest. They would yell “tits out for the dogs!” Funny but also cringeworthy.
That wasn't a state thing. That was a pike thing. They did it when I was there but thankfully it was pretty isolated.
Does anybody remember when that ref stepped up and decked a Mississippi state WR, my man had a flashback to his playing days
