On Sunday night, Wikipedia was updated to include Florida coach Jim McElwain's departure from his position and something a little more fictitious.

McElwain's page was altered to say he died on Saturday, Oct. 28 in Jacksonville after Georgia pummeled Florida, 42-7.

It was reported that McElwain and the university mutually agreed to part ways after less than three seasons as coach.
