One of the many notable things to come out of Georgia’s momentous victory over then-Texas was the appearance of a Longhorns fan, which surprised many on social media.
The Texas fan, who is apparently a university student, appeared on television with just over three minutes to go and had the outcome in hand.
Now second-ranked Georgia defeated Texas 30-15, which fell four spots in the national polls with its first loss as a member of the Southeastern Conference.
Before Georgia left Austin victorious, the young man in the burnt orange shirt and hair growing mostly from his scalp had already conquered the nation.
Here are some reactions from those who found the fan’s makeup funny on social media.

“Conway UTwitty,” said a fan on X, paying tribute to famous country singer Conway Twitty.
“This is the largest face-to-face ratio I’ve ever seen.”
“AI generated a Texas frat boy.”
“Someone said he’s wearing a protective cap.”

It is not known if the unidentified fan was one of the students who threw bottles onto the field during the game.
The home crowd was left outraged when an interception for the Longhorns was initially wiped out by a pass interference penalty.
In protest, Texas fans threw hundreds of bottles onto the field to register their displeasure before head coach Steve Sarkisian could walk up to them and urge them to stop.
But incredibly, their astonishing protests seemed to be successful when the decision was eventually reversed.
Even with the victory in Georgia, this fan’s impact on the internet has not been drowned out.
