Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr. explains the inspiration for his post-sack celebration

During the first quarter of a football game last weekend against Louisiana-Monroe, Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. recorded the second sack of his sophomore season.

Hill celebrated the takedown of ULM quarterback General Booty with a dance. When asked a couple days later about a dance that featured him rotating his hips, Hill said he was inspired against the Warhawks by SpongeBob SquarePants.

"It was just something that I just thought of being goofy or funny. I was actually watching SpongeBob and I just thought about that," Hill said.

And how exactly did SpongeBob SquarePants inspire this?

Continued Hill: "When SpongeBob is blowing the bubble, he was like, 'Around town,' all that. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of."

Hill currently leads the Texas defense with his 25 tackles. He has complemented his two sacks this season with an interception.
