With 1:22 left in the first half of the 2017 Egg Bowl, Ole Miss defensive end Breeland Speaks recovered a Mississippi State fumble and meme’d himself into college football history by facetiously waving in the direction of ESPN’s sideline camera. You remember this scene, because it was Thanksgiving night, and probably nothing else was going on in the college football world.
A wonderful bit of internet virality on a night that saw D.K. Metcalf fake urinate all over Mississippi State’s end zone. Here, let’s remember that hilarity too.
ANYWAY, Speaks was interviewed by AL dot com on Monday, and he opened up about which particular individual he was waving at on CLANGA’s sideline after recovering a key fumble late in one of the country’s most pointlessly vitriolic rivalry games.
