  "account": "Texas defensive end Colin Simmons has issued an apology for a controversial celebration following a game against Tennessee. In the post-game interview, Simmons admitted he was \"definitely in that mode, feeling myself\" when he pretended to urinate on the field. This crude gesture drew criticism from Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. Simmons expressed regret over his actions and described his mindset during the celebration to the Austin American-Statesman, as reported by Danny Davis of For The Win. He also apologized again during the interview. Texas is set to have a bye week next week, with no opponent scheduled.",
