Alabama's football team's version was unsurprisingly better than every other's version. Then-First Lady Michelle Obama got in on the craze with LeBron James and members of the Cleveland Cavaliers during their visit to the White House.

Needless to say, defenders were confused as hell.

The mannequin gimmick appeared to have some kind of outcome on the play, because the conversion was successful. And it did look pretty darn cool. Del Oro came away with an emphatic 50-10 victory to advance to the section final of the Sac-Joaquin Division II playoffs.
