With America enjoying Thanksgiving through the weekend, Elijah Moore would not be having much fun for his actions which involved crawling along the end zone and lifting his leg up in the air in the middle of the field and pretending to pee like a dog.

Ole Miss loses as Mississippi State receiver Elijah Moore celebrates a TD by pretending to pee like a dog

It was no surprise that his unsportsmanlike conduct on-field did not impress the referees who decided to penalise the player immediately. The push back in distance contributed negatively to Ole Miss as they were hit with a 15-yard penalty which pushed the kick to tie the game back to the 25-yard line. Kicker Luke Logan pushed his kick to the right and sprayed the 35-yard attempt which ultimately allowed the Mississippi State to secure a wild 21-20 win over their rival.
