Pitch Invader of the Day: In what is being called “one of the most bizarre sequences of the college football season,” a brazen pitch invader took to the field with four seconds to go in the first half of yesterday’s game between UCLA and Arizona.
The bizarre part? He was dressed as a ref.
The streaker’s trolling worked wonders: Within seconds of taking off, both UCLA and UA players began shoving each other, resulting in a bench-clearing brawl that delayed the restart of the game by several minutes.
As for the streaker, he tore off his ref costume exposing a pair of red and white Speedos, and made his way toward the end zone. He was eventually tackled by two security guards.
Two players were ejected from the game for inciting the brawl — UA cornerback Shaquille Richardson and UCLA receiver Taylor Embree. Other players might be penalized following a review of the incident.
Below: Fan footage of the fake ref getting ready to invade the pitch, and the subsequent tackle (warning: lots of obnoxious yelling):
