Moore's dog-peeing celebration costs Ole Miss Egg Bowl
The Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss ended in the most bizarre fashion Thursday night.
Ole Miss pulled within one point after a touchdown in the final seconds, but receiver Elijah Moore got flagged for a celebration in which he mimicked a peeing dog.
The Rebels then missed the pushed-back extra point, handing the Bulldogs the 21-20 win after an unsuccessful onside kick attempt.
This Egg Bowl ending was INSANE 🤯

Ole Miss scored with 4 seconds left and had a chance to tie the game with the PAT.

Former Ole Miss wide receiver DK Metcalf did the same celebration - which was made famous by Odell Beckham Jr. - in Mississippi State's end zone during the 2017 Egg Bowl, which the Rebels won 31-28.
After the unbelievable finish, social media was dumbfounded by Moore's questionable decision:
the Iron Bowl had the Kick Six, the Egg Bowl had the Piss Miss

The Egg Bowl being decided by a missed extra point that was pushed back 15 yards because an Ole Miss player’s touchdown celebration including pretending to piss like a dog is the most Egg Bowl things ever.

“Ole Miss lost because a player celebrated a TD by miming peeing like a dog” has surpassed “Hugh Freeze coached from a hospital bed and got a bunch of sympathetic stories out of it” as 2019’s Most College Football Thing

For two years, Ole Miss fans have worshipped a guy that hiked his leg in a TD celebration at the egg bowl.

Tonight it cost them a game. I love you all.
The season might be over for Ole Miss but if my teammate costs me a shot at a win acting like an idiot against my biggest rivalry I’d lose my mind
