LeBron James reacts angrily with Pixar GIF after Ohio State loss to Oregon

Shortly after Will Howard slid down with time expiring and Ohio State lost to Oregon in a thrilling back-and-forth contest in Eugene, NBA star and Ohio native LeBron James made his feelings known.

For the long-standing Buckeye, it wasn’t a good night. And he leaned on a character from a popular new Disney Pixar franchise Inside Out: Anger.

And watching the Buckeyes lose in the final seconds evidently drew out the ire in James, who posted a GIF of the character from the cartoon film blowing his stack — literally.

Oregon ended up taking the win, 32-31, kicking a field goal inside the final two minutes to take the lead before stopping the Buckeyes’ last-gasp drive. The Ducks out-gained the Buckeyes 496-467.

And in a game where the margins were ultimately razor thin, it was James and the rest of the Buckeyes left to sort through their negative emotions while the Ducks partied into the night with a signature win in a Top 5 showdown.

LeBron was not the only one angry

Howard had some words for a photographer after suffering a 32-31 loss to Oregon on Saturday. Based on the body language, they didn’t look like kind ones either.

As the Buckeyes signal caller walked off the field, there were several cameramen looking to snap pictures. One got fairly close to Howard, who appeared to point at him and say something in his direction. You can view the moment below.

Howard finished the game 28-of-35 passing for 326 yards and two touchdowns. However, his attempt to lead the Buckeyes downfield for the win fell short as time ran out before they could manage a score.

Ohio State was at one point in range for the game-winning field goal attempt, but a pair of penalties pushed them back 20 yards. Facing third-and-25 with six seconds left, Howard panicked after no receivers were open and scrambled as the remaining time ticked off the clock.
