Stoic FSU fan becomes viral meme
Florida State completed an incredible comeback against Ole Miss on Monday night that left many in shock. In fact, most Seminoles fans watched the first half in disbelief as their team fell behind 28-6.
The big deficit and preponderance of mistakes led to many negative FSU fan reactions that were shown on TV by ESPN, including one older man who caught the attention of many online. This Florida State fan quickly became a meme for his stoic expression as his team trailed early in the game.
Take a look at some of the best tweets about the fan:
