April Fools' Day was the worst day of the year. That's all over now.

The new front-runner for worst day of the year is one that exists solely in Cardale Jones' head. It's called "MAY FOOLS," and you celebrate it by making the people of Ohio choke on their lunch.

The Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback tweeted out what many took to be a bombshell Friday afternoon. He briefly changed his Twitter avatar and banner to the University of Akron Zips logo and delivered a heartfelt goodbye to Buckeyes fans.

It was a rough decision but I think it's best for me, like to thank OSU for this amazing opportunity but my time here has came to an end ud83dude14

About seven minutes and 20,000 shock-induced heart palpitations later, Jones said he was just joking.
