Mark Stoops crowd surfs in the locker room after Kentucky upsets Ole Miss
The last time Mark Stoops crowd surfed was Kentucky’s win at Missouri in 2018, a clip that still lives on in SEC Network montages. After the Cats’ 20-17 upset of No. 6 Ole Miss, Stoops made the leap again, letting his players carry him as they celebrated a statement win, Kentucky’s biggest on the road since upsetting No. 4 Penn State in 1977.
“You all played your ass off!” Stoops said to his players during the celebrations.
Thanks to Barion Brown and a few other Cats who went live, we’ve got footage. Warning, some language is NSFW:

“You saw that already?” Stoops said of the clip of him surfing in the postgame press conference. “It’s viral? It goes quick. Yeah. I tried to tuck my shirt in. I’m probably a little more sore.”
