The Thursday night college football matchup between TCU and Texas Tech brought some exciting action on the field.
However, one of the most exciting things to happen during the game was when a possum ran loose at Jones AT&T Stadium in the first quarter.
The possum was quickly captured and brought to the sideline, but not before making quite the impression on viewers watching the game at home, resulting in another great meme this college football season.
Fox College Football’s X, formerly known as Twitter, account started the memes with this video using the caption “When dad pulls you out of bed in the morning before school.”
