Mom wearing Alabama sweater walks off when Jacob Copeland picks Florida over Tide

The mother of a four-star wide receiver clearly wasn't happy with her son picking Florida instead of Alabama.

Jacob Copeland made his announcement during a National Signing Day ceremony at his high school on Wednesday, an announcement that was shown nationally on ESPN2.

When he picked up the Florida hat and said he'd be signing with the Gators, his mother, who was wearing an Alabama sweater, got up, gave him a dirty look and stormed off.

His mom did return later, though, and gave an emotional Copeland a hug.
