Kentucky Wildcats head football coach Mark Stoops went crowdsurfing in the locker room to celebrate Saturday's 20-17 upset win over Ole Miss.
After taking the lead with under three minutes left, the Wildcats were able to hold on after a late field goal attempt by Ole Miss went wide left, allowing them to run out the clock for their first win in Oxford since 1978. Needless to say, the players were ecstatic, but a live Instagram video captured Stoops enjoying the moment as well in surprising fashion.

We know that coaches can take a loss pretty hard, but it's good to see them let loose a little bit when they get a huge win such as this one. Stoops deserved this one.
This is karma working against Ole Miss after pulling stunts like faking injuries to get free timeouts.
