Some background: Ball ran toward Auburn’s sideline, fought the equipment manager (pushing him down in the process) and ran off after having stolen a game ball.

Ball also gave the crowd the bird before he left the field because, well, why not?

Needless to say, Memphis dismissed Ball from the football team.

It looks like Ball wanted to add a little insult to injury. Getting your butt kicked in a bowl game apparently makes people do crazy things.

And in case you forgot, this isn’t the first time Memphis has lost its cool after a bowl game.
