Among the many notable things to come out of Georgia’s momentous victory over then-top-ranked Texas was the appearance of a Longhorns fan, surprising many on social media.
The Texan fan, who is apparently a university student, appeared on television with just over three minutes left and the result in hand.
Georgia, now ranked second, 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 emerged victorious from Austin, the young man with the burnt orange shirt and hair growing largely from his scalp had already captured the nation.
These are some of the reactions of those who found the fan’s makeup funny on social media.

‘Conway UTwitty,’ said one fan on X, as a tribute to famous country singer Conway Twitty.
“This is the highest head-to-head ratio I’ve ever seen.”
“AI generated the Texas frat boy.”
“Someone said he’s wearing a guardian cap.”

It is unknown if the unidentified fan was one of the students who threw bottles onto the field during the game.
The home fans were outraged when a Longhorns interception was initially overturned by a pass interference penalty.
In protest, Texas fans threw hundreds of bottles onto the field to express their displeasure, before head coach Steve Sarkisian could be seen approaching and urging them to stop.
However, incredibly, his surprising protests seemed to have an effect when the decision was finally overturned.
Even with Georgia’s victory, this fan’s impact on the Internet has not been nullified.
