What better way to celebrate both athletic and academic achievement than to have Bruce Pearl put on a blond wig and lip sync to Taylor Swift while skipping around a stage?

Pearl squared off against soccer coach Karen Hoppa, who went first with a jean jacket and guitar costume to pair with Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" and performed NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" in the contest's second round.

The Auburn coach responded by performing Swift's "We Are Never Getting Back Together" followed by Skee-Lo's "I Wish".
