Look, Jacob Copeland's choice in what college he wants to accept a full ride from is his and his alone. No matter how much his mother loves both Tennessee and Alabama and/or despises Florida, she was undoubtedly in the wrong for making his big moment about her by defiantly stomping away like a petulant child that thought running away from her vegetables was going to make them disappear. Unfortunately, I can kinda see why she might have felt justified in doing so. I'm all for a little teenage rebellion, but at the expense of publicly embarrassing your mom? Like, if the alternative is having her sit on national television appearing as though she got dressed in the dark at Dick's Sporting Goods, perhaps it might have been wise to hint at his decision prior to letting her go 0-for-2 live on ESPN2. Maybe he thought breaking the bad news in front of an audience would save him from a smacking, but he's going to wish he was swimming with Gators once he gets home from officially becoming one. I don't know if the 4-star wide receiver knows this, but if burnt orange and crimson were distant cousins they'd be the type that would require close supervision if left alone in the same room. We all - at one point or another - disappoint our parents, but to trick the woman that raised you (seriously, what's with the maroon blazer?) into buying a one-way ticket to Clash City? That's a bigger faux pas than her hopelessly hopeful fashion. So you're goddamn right she bounced with the quickness. If I were twelve years younger and 12x more athletically inclined, my mom would also be pissed into an immediate departure if I had her deviating from a wardrobe that looks like the Blue Man Group used it clean up their bulimia just so she could end up getting caught red-sweatered as an out-of-touch parent in public.
