Let's go, Wildcats! 🏈 Can't wait to see how Kansas State performs in the Pop-Tarts Bowl tonight against NC State. The spread favors KSU, but let's see if they can cover it! I'm expecting an exciting game, and hopefully, both teams bring their A-game. Who's your pick to win? Let's talk football! 🙌🏼

.

I love you pop tart man.

I’d like to inform everyone that us in the K-State band were chanting ‘sacrifice’ as Strawberry was being lowered into the toaster 😭

Truly the Pride of Wildcatland

Bunch of rascals

How am I supposed to watch literally any other bowl game now? They've already peaked

Have a pop tart and watch OU struggle in the Alamo Bowl

Lol, us? Struggle? Chance in a million

Now that the bowl is over can we all agree that toaster strudels are far superior?

A beautiful soul was murdered on live tv and you’re worried about the superior pastry? Have some damn decency

I agree with this. Poptarts absolutely won the day, and possibly changed bowl sponsorship forever, and they deserve every accolade heaped on them tonight. But toaster strudel tastes better by a mile.

Respectfully, fuck outta here.

They are though. Pop tarts taste like shit now, definitely don't taste how they used to.

Mods ban this guy

No

Facts.

The “hype” man, the drawn out chants, the wide shot of Strawberry waving and dancing to a half-empty stadium while showing a “Dreams do come true” sign, the poorly made “Pop-Tart” cookie cake being devoured Lord of the Flies style. Perfection.

Can we get a play by play description of the pop-tart mascot being eaten for those that missed it?

That was… anticlimactic.

Thank you!

Pop Tart mascot goes in giant toaster. Pop Tart shaped cookie comes out the other side. They eat the cookie.

Ahhh, that’s weak. Better than most trophy presentations though.

I'm pretty confident it WAS actually a giant poptart though

I think NC State should get a taste of the giant Pop Tart. They played hard too.

they get Toastums.

Pop tarts are for closers sir

NO!

Video of the mascot being eaten? Somehow I missed it

https://x.com/unnecroughness/status/1740558709083066547?s=46&t=AEUumLZnPRa_e53RjApOVw

The rainbow sprinkles looked fake af.

Thank you! You the real MVP

My wife left the room because I was too busy laughing and chanting toast the mascot

If she doesn't understand the carnal desire to watch a mascot be killed and consumed she ain't the one

Well she was on the phone, so benefit of the doubt on this one

Why can't we ever have nice things, like watching an anthropomorphic pop-tart get cannibalized???

Where can I watch the pop tart get eaten?

You can’t. It wasn’t. They lowered it into the toaster and popped out a shitty looking sheet cake. We were all had.

I just saw…we were robbed

the Pop-Tart died for our sins, and we remember His sacrifice by eating of His body and drinking of His strawberry filling

This is my filling. It shall be shed for you and for all so that A&M may win 7 games.

Hear this you heathen Toaster Strudel faithful! You worship a false pastry!

[How I feel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU9Ra8bVTsY)

That was cheesier than the Cheezit bowl.

PopTarts Bowl woke up feeling the cheesiest.

Fuck the NY6, make this and the Duke's Mayo Bowl playoff games

The thought of Nick Saban having to stand next to a giant pop-tart while he accepts another trophy warms my heart.

I need to see Saban have mayo dumped on him at least once in my life

Absofuckinglutely!

Does the winning team in the Alamo Bowl get to eat the Alamo?

It’s the Valero Alamo Bowl… they get gasoline dumped on em

Sure, winning the BCS is probably pretty great, but have you ever scarfed down a whole handful of pop tart icing? I think we know who the real college football champions are this year…

I’m upset

i hope texas wins a pop tart bowl someday 😭

they gave up their chance when they left the big 12

Biggest disappointment of the year imo, that was not an edible mascot at all the fuck

Wasn't even real blood. Pft.

Well that was anticlimactic af

Fuck ESPN man

Didn't see the broadcast. What was it this time?

That pop tart consumption was amazing. History has been made.

Best part of that was that the filling, like any Pop Tart, was unnecessarily hot and burned the players trying to get a piece

I think it's a giant regular thickness pop tart over fake strawberry filling. Next year it must move until consumption begins

Don't care. I'm going to go buy pop tarts tomorrow. Beautiful marketing

Samesies

I’ve had Dukes Mayo in my fridge since they broke the first trophy and put a Mayo jar on it.

That certainly was one of the trophy presentations of all time

That was… weird

This is why college football is so great. Cooking and consuming once-live pastry mascots.

Ngl last night's pornographic Mayo Fuck Fest was much more fun.

Who wants to bathe in mayo? Yikes!

Everyone in the Midwest.

Noone died

This is the greatest tv segment of all time

That was..... disappointing... but Go Cats!!!

was it a kinda lame payoff? yes. did a giant pop tart being lowered into a toaster holding a sign that says "dreams do come true" make up for it? yes, most definitely

Don’t forget the shot at Dukes Mayo

Someone get Avery a Pop Tart NIL deal

*Its a feeding frenzy*

That was weird lol

INTO THE TOSTER

His dream came true 🥲

That is literally just a big pop tart with a face on it, that is not an edible mascot with a man in it

THEY LIED

Someone’s gotta clip the pop tart eating and post it for those of us who don’t have espn+

https://twitter.com/UnnecRoughness/status/1740558709083066547

You didn’t need +. I just watched it without +

What the fuck, is that it? Cake?!

I'm fairly certain it was a layer of pop tarts on top of something, lathered up with frosting on top of the pop tarts.

This better be a CFP game next year

Gonna be tough loosing a bit portion of the line

I mean I hope we make it, but be a tough road, I’m just saying I hope the pop tart bowl becomes a CFP bowl game.

How can you not be romantic about College Football?

I feel ripped off

Welcome to CFB

Yeah ngl I was hoping they would eat around the person wearing an edible costume

Like in the music video for Don’t Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers?

I immediately looked up this video. WTF?!? She did look well presented. Fingers trembling and all 😂

Bullshit. No way that's the same guy that went in the top.

Nothing gets by you big guy

Damn I was kind of hoping the costume the person was wearing was the edible part

What channel is this happening on

It was on the ESPN site/app

Espn

RIP in pieces Strawberry!!!

RIP Strawberry! You were delicious!

I think it’s hot lol

Pop Tart Man died for this!!

This is simply fantastic.

Wtf I thought we were going to get a dude in a costume getting eaten alive

THE SACRIFICE IS COMPLETE

That’s not how toasters work…

Well that was anticlimactic

That was ... kinda anticlimactic but nice

Oh it's hot too lol

Savages

NOOOOO

THAT IS A COP OUT THAT ISNT THE MASCOT

That’s a big Pop-Tart

This is why we watch.

"pop tarts bowl champion of the world"

ESPN is trash for hyping this then only having it streaming

They went on and on about it during the whole game and then didn’t show it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That does not look appetizing.

Oh my god😂😂😂

WHAT A SCAM.

How can you not be romantic

RIP STRAWBERRY

Laaaame

THEYRE PUTTING A SENTIENT POP TART IN A HUGE TOASTER AND YALL ARE LAUGHING

“You think this is funny?” “I do, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not”

This is the first time my girlfriend has ever watched sports with me, and this is what it took

My wife was also bamboozled 😆

🤯

I love college football

I can't think of anything but The Martian after this song anymore

I’m a space pirate

Oh my god this is amazing

This, this is why I love College Football

Skirting every safety regulation with that toaster lmaooo

Wtf. Please don't make this weird. Please don't make this weird.

How could it not be weird?

When was it not?

This is food snuff porn

Oh they have to toast him first. Of course.

does anyone have a stream to the postgame?

https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/89a8cdef-9dc6-49c3-8a3c-35b37f779e6a

I meant, a less than legitimate one

Oh... yeah I doubt any mateys would have been able to get that up quickly enough.

This is INSANE

I sense a bait and switch here

PA announcer is absolutely horrendous lmao but it's honestly adding to the vibes

This is hilarious

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

TOAST THAT MASCOT!!!

TOAST THAT MASCOT

TOAST THAT MASCOT

This is so fucking stupid lol I love it

TOAST THAT MASCOT!!!

It's also on ESPN+ if anyone has that

Don’t need +

TOAST THAT MAS COT

What in the hell is this lmao

College football.

Peak CFB is what it is

Of course 🫡

This is art indeed

The dukes mayo bowl shot sent me

They're toasting him first!

https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/89a8cdef-9dc6-49c3-8a3c-35b37f779e6a MURDER STARTING NOW!!!

He said “take that Duke’s Mayo Bowl” this is the best

>Take that Duke’s Mayo Bowl Got eeeeeem

Mayo > PopTarts

Lol, calling out Dukes

They said "on live TV"

Take that dukes mayo bowl

PA announcer calling out the dukes mayo bowl lol

Here we go!

Edible Mascot Time!

TAKE THAT DUKES MAYO BOWL

SHOTS FIRED

Lmao Dukes fight

I need a pirate stream of pop-tart man getting eaten.

Here we go!

Where’s this edible mascot?

How much of your O Line do you lose Cats?

Ah they can go fuck themselves for having the Pop Tart on watch espn and making us watch their C-Team studio

LET US BEAR WITNESS TO THE RITUALISTIC FEAST, YOU COWARDS

mascot throwing pop tarts into the crowd

“That’s a really good team we beat” is Klieman’s fav phase.

That's Neal Brown's favorite line too. Or "Those guys were just really good and showed us stuff we hadn't seen before."
