A Badger fan watched the Wisconsin-Illinois game at an Illini bar. It did not end well

There’s been a “Surrender Cobra” sighting in Champaign. It just so happened that it was spotted in an Illinois bar immediately after the Illini upset No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.
Illinois Athletics shared a video of fans celebrating Illinois’ 24-23 upset win over Wisconsin on Saturday, a game the Illini won as a 31-point underdog. The video showed Illini supporters cheering after James McCourt’s 39-yard field goal attempt sailed through the uprights.
The video was shot at a bar full of Illinois fans, except one outsider. There was a Wisconsin fan in a hockey jersey, who didn’t appear to be having quite as good a time as some of the others in the establishment.
Below is the video.
