On Thanksgiving evening, a college football game lost a one-point game after their kicker missed an extra point after a touchdown that would have tied the game, but a 15-yard penalty assessed against the kicking team after the touchdown aided the failure, and the reason for the penalty was this: the receiver who scored the touchdown celebrated by pretending to urinate like a dog.

Ole Miss receiver Elijah Moore performed his stunt after he scored in the the final seconds of the Egg Bowl between the University of Mississippi and arch-rival Mississippi State. As The Daily Mail noted, “After crossing the goal line, Moore was seen crawling along on all fours, before lifting his right leg high into the air as if to mark his territory.” The 15-yard penalty caused the extra point to be kicked from 35 yards out.
