College football fans were left stunned on Saturday after Texas star Colin Simmons pulled off a bizarre ‘peeing’ celebration during their SEC battle against Tennessee.
The crude stunt unfolded directly in front of Donald Trump, who was watching the action from a luxury suite inside a packed Neyland Stadium.
Simmons broke into the backfield to sack Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon on third down, which should have forced a fourth-and-29.
Instead, the sophomore star stood over Brandon and pretended to urinate on the field, immediately drawing a yellow flag from the officiating crew for his antics.
The referee then took to the stadium microphone to announce an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for ‘simulating using the restroom’, thus wiping out the stop.
The stunt drew instant fury on the ABC broadcast, with Kirk Herbstreit heavily ripping into the defender alongside play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler.

‘Just an absolute idiotic move by Colin Simmons doing that,’ Herbstreit fumed on the air. ‘He’s supposed to be one of the leaders of this defense.
‘They’ve got them at a 4th and 29, gonna get great field position. That’s the sixth penalty on Texas.’
Fowler added: ‘Yeah, it’s idiotic, and it doesn’t get much more vulgar, either.”
Social media users were, similarly, left aghast by the celebration. On X, one wrote: ‘Totally disgusting. Embarrassing’.
‘If I was the coach the suspension would have happened the second he left the field’, another disgruntled viewer wrote online.
The costly, self-inflicted mistake completely overshadowed what had otherwise been a dominant first-half defensive clinic from Simmons on Rocky Top.
Prior to the flag, the pass rusher had terrorized Tennessee’s protection, racking up five total tackles and two sacks against Brandon in the true freshman’s first SEC start.
The sack came on the very drive Brandon returned to the game after spending nearly 15 minutes inside the medical tent being treated for an injury to his left shoulder.
Trump, who flew in on Air Force One and sat with Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, watched the bizarre sequence as Texas fought to maintain control of a heated road test.

Trump appeared on the stadium’s colossal jumbotron shortly after midday local time, sending the sellout crowd of more than 101,000 into a wild frenzy.
Dressed in a dark suit and red tie, the president acknowledged the thunderous ovation by smiling and repeatedly pumping his fist from inside a luxury suite.
He was seated alongside prominent political ally and Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, who was sporting bright Volunteer orange for the occasion.
His arrival capped off an electric pre-game buildup that began in the skies over Knoxville, when Air Force One treated fans to a flyover above Neyland Stadium.
