What was in the water this College Football Saturday? The final week of the college football season was nothing short of chaotic, with multiple rivalry matchups ending in high tension and heated moments. The headline incident of the day came from the much-anticipated clash between Ohio State and Michigan, which ended in a dramatic brawl at midfield after the Wolverines planted their flag at the center of Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
The bold move, made to celebrate Michigan’s upset win, was met with immediate backlash from Ohio State players, leading to an all-out fight that saw punches thrown and tempers flaring on both sides. The chaos wasn’t limited to just this game—a similar scene broke out at the UNC-NC State game, where emotions boiled over as the two teams clashed following a heated contest.
But the mayhem of rivalry week didn’t stop there. On the sidelines of the Arizona-Arizona State matchup, the mascots of both teams took their rivalry to a comical yet surprisingly intense level, engaging in a full-blown fist fight while in costume.
In a moment that seemed straight out of a slapstick comedy, Wilbur the Wildcat and Sparky the Sun Devil began exchanging blows on the sideline, much to the shock and amusement of fans in the stands.
Even the cheerleaders, who attempted to intervene and separate the feuding mascots, couldn’t contain their laughter amidst the chaos.
