While the mood inside Doak Campbell Stadium was immaculate, the small group of Alabama fans were not too happy. One guy, in particular, maybe expressed every Crimson Tide fans’ thoughts when on camera. He handed out a middle finger as Florida State was just moments away from a massive win.

Atlanta Braves legendy Chipper Jones found a video of the moment on social media and decided to roast the Alabama fan. Jones does not appear too impressed with the middle finger, claiming it was done incorrectly.

‘His parents should be ashamed…..send him to Alabama without properly knowing how to flip off a cameraman?” Jones said via X before adding a couple hashtags. “#redneck101 #newschool

Jones has gotten into SEC football in recent years. Two of his kids attend Auburn, probably having strong rooting interests against Alabama. The Iron Bowl rivalry runs deep, even if somebody is newer on the scene. Sometimes, nothing is better than a nice hate wach.

And then getting a great moment such as a fan flipping off the camera is just icing on the cake. Jones believes some better form is needed, though. Unfortunately, there might not ever be another opportunity in that person’s life to get back on camera. ESPN execs are probably not too thrilled to have the moment on their airwaves either.

More on Alabama season opener loss to Florida State

For the second time in Week 1, a top-10 ranked team has fallen. This one is a bit more surprising, though, as Florida State upset No. 8 Alabama on Saturday, 31-17. Once the Seminoles knew they needed all offseason, head coach Mike Norvell delivered in the biggest way.

You can add quarterback Tommy Castellanos to the list of people who delivered. Castellanos produced headline after headline talking about Alabama after transferring in from Boston College. His words turned into a great performance, both through the air and on the ground.

In 14 pass attempts, Castellanos completed nine for 152 yards. But it’s the run game that led Florida State to victory. Their quarterback led the way with 68 yards and one touchdowns. Four different Seminoles got into the end zone for a rushing score, totaling 230 yards. As usual against Alabama, a Gus Malzahn special.

Florida State was great defensively as well. Alabama struggled to run the ball all night and forced Ty Simpson into a tough situation. Simpson did not deliver, falling short in multiple big-time occasions. Great early returns on new defensive coordinator Tony White, who is in his first season after coming over via the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
