Mississippi State and Tulsa take ‘Armed Forces Bowl’ literally, engage in postgame brawl

There were punches, kicks and is that dude slapping people with a towel?

Mississipi State and Tulsa played a football game today. That bit of information was immediately overshadowed when the two teams engaged in an all-out brawl immediately after the Armed Forces Bowl concluded.

The tension actually started before kickoff when the two teams had a bit of a curfuffle during pregame warmups. Apparently, that carried over to the game, and after the final whistle sounded on a 28-26 win for Mississipi State, the two teams got to scrapping.

This was a legitimate fight. We’re talking punches and even a kick or two!

While there was your typical pearl-clutching on Twitter — I cannot believe these young fellas would fight and damage the good reputation of the *checks notes* Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl — most people just took the opportunity to get some jokes off. I’ve compiled the best ones here for you…
