Tennessee fans give Kalen DeBoer taste of PTSD with FSU reference on College Gameday

Volunteer fans at College Gameday did the ultimate troll of Kalen DeBoer by supporting another team.

The Tennessee crowd at ESPN College Gameday has been absolutely relentless all morning, starting with trolling their former quarterback Nico Iamaleava, and now with Kalen DeBoer. The Alabama head coach joined the show while walking the field before the Crimson Tide's matchup against Wisconsin at Noon and the Volunteer fans made sure to throw a ton of shade at their rival head coach.

While on the microphone, the Tennessee fans first started shouting "Bama sucks!" and then it quickly changed to Florida State's war chant, reminding DeBoer of the horrible Week 1 loss to the Seminoles. This seems like the ultimate troll, especially with how quickly the chant began.

It began with Kirk Herbstreit asking DeBoer about the loss to Florida State in Week 1, and quickly, it could be seen that fans behind him were doing the FSU Chop along with its war chant. The analysts couldn't help but laugh and tell DeBoer that he really can't get away from that memory.

Florida State will certainly remember that win over the Crimson Tide for quite some time, as everyone, except for Lee Corso, of course, thought the Seminoles had no chance to win. Now, Florida State has one of the top offenses in the country and is heading into a matchup against Kent State next week.

The Seminoles will get to kick back today and see how the rest of the ACC works, especially how the game between Miami and USF goes. A win for USF would be great for the Seminoles, as it would hand Miami a huge loss and give Florida State the ability to take over the ACC.

Florida State may have to give some love to Tennessee for the show of "support" with the war chant against DeBoer on College Gameday.
