    This is funny... Jacob Copeland was picking between Alabama, Florida and Tennessee. His Mom was wearing an Alabama shirt. Copeland picked Florida and his Mom got up and walked out.

    I feel for the kid. His mom is all types of confused; wearing an Alabama sweatshirt with a Tennessee beanie.... I'm guessing if his pick was anything BUT Florida he woulda been ok. SMDH

    Ya have to think there was some type of discussion or understanding about where he wasn't going (or at least where mom didn't want him to go). Recruiting is nuts.

    She came back and hugged him. That one mom from a few years ago didn't forgive her son for not going to LSU.

    yeah she probably had to be talked into that hug. Hopefully the kid gets over this but maybe kids like this shouldn't make a spectacle of the decision and have all the cards on the table right from the start so there are no surprises.

    Does everyone say "take my talents" nowadays? Was that Kobe or LeBron who started that?
