The Washington State Cougars outlasted the Oregon Ducks to win in double overtime and trolled the heck out of them afterward.
Mike Leach and his Cougars picked up a huge win for the program with an upset win over the suddenly-reeling Oregon Ducks on Saturday.

Washington State has been beaten down by the Ducks for years but the Cougars rallied and had a performance that should lower the temperature on the seat of Leach and give his team some much-needed confidence moving toward the second half of the season.
The 45-39 win saw quarterback Luke Falk gut it out with a shoulder injury and throw for 505 yards and five touchdowns as the Cougs erased a 10-point deficit to hand Oregon the first such loss when they led by at least 10 points since they lost to No. 1 USC in 2005. They had gone 100-0 since.
The double-overtime win was enough for the Wazzu faithful to celebrate all night and into the morning hours on Sunday but the epic troll job from the school’s official twitter account is the burn of the week and perhaps of the college football season.
