Momma, don’t let your baby grow up to be a Gata.

If you haven’t seen the now infamous Jacob Copeland hat ceremony, where mom walked out after he put a Florida cap on…

… well, it wasn’t the best look for her (although, to her credit, she did come back), but can you really blame her for wondering how she could have raised a child who wound up wanting to spend four years of his life in Gainesville, Florida, making chomping gestures?

    You should question a decision to wear Vol and Bama colors together, anytime. By the body language between these two, the future looks to be full of personal interest stories.

      Either that, or the bag man had already been by and made a large deposit, or job offer to mom and the moving truck was on the way. Regardless, that combo of Bama sweatshirt and just awful TN hat, should mean she gets her money back at Wally World with no need to hurry.

    It was bandied about that she was hurrying to the bank to cash the check before a stop payment was put on it…

    She may as well get used to getting up and walking out early if she intends to watch him play in Jax the next 4 years.

    Shitty way for Mom to act, IMHO….

      It was only a moment in their lives together. She returned to cry and embrace him. And if you wouldn’t get up and walk out after your son puts on a Gator hat, then I seriously doubt your feelings about our rival.

        I don’t live in Florida and I’ve been a life long UGA fan…a little different. I have no idea of the families history, but if they have lived in Florida their entire life, I can see how the kid might think UF plays some pretty good ball. Just being realistic, and not being a fanatical.

  8. Doing Gator Chomps is much, much better than barking like a dog and licking your balls.

      Yeah, you guys really got it going on. We all be envious. But you have to admit, your new (again) coach just made a fool out of himself. If you see him before he hits the road, tell him thanks.

    Read the kid hung around with troubled kids that had gang ties in Florida so Mom wanted him out of the state. If that is so too bad Mom could not override him.
