After inappropriate Colin Simmons, Raleek Brown celebrations, Texas AD apologizes to fans
Without naming names, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte was critical of celebrations by Colin Simmons and Raleek Brown in last week's win vs. Tennessee.
Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte penned an apology to fans following the inappropriate celebrations by players Colin Simmons and Raleek Brown during a 20-17 win over Tennessee. While Simmons drew a flag for an unsportsmanlike conduct infraction after mimicking urinating on the field, Brown celebrated his touchdown by wafting air toward his nose and falling backwards as if passed out.
Coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the conduct with the players and committed to disciplinary action. Del Conte emphasized that the celebrations did not represent the values of Texas athletics and will not be tolerated. The program must now focus on maintaining class, dignity, and respect in all its actions.
