It was a rough night in Austin, Texas, on Saturday for the Texas Longhorns and their fan base.
The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs upset the No. 1 Texas Longhorns 30-15 in Austin as Bulldogs running back Trevor Etienne had his way against their defense all night long.
Up 30 to 15 late in the fourth quarter, a cameraman caught the perfect shot when he went into the stands and showed a sad Longhorns fan with some outrageous hair that quickly had him going viral online.
The poor fan was not in the mood as he knew his beloved team would not only suffer its first defeat of the season, but they would most certainly not be the number one team in the country due to the double-digit loss.

To make matters worse for that Texas Longhorns fan, he had to get online and watch as people made many jokes about his appearance amid his sadness.

The Texas Longhorns May Be Down But Not From The College Football Playoffs
In years past, the Texas Longhorns’ suffering a double-digit loss to a top team could have been detrimental to their season, which included trying to get to the College Football Playoffs.
The College Football Playoff era began with the 2014 season and for the first decade, four teams were selected to the Playoff field.
That changes this year as 12 teams will now be selected.
The Longhorns had a brutal loss at home against Georgia, but their season is far from over.
