In a wild but not entirely unpredictable upset, Florida took down No. 22 LSU, 27-16, at home on Saturday, dealing the Tigers their third SEC loss and fourth loss overall. For the first time since 2018, the Gators topped LSU, and they have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
On the other side, Tigers head coach Brian Kelly was obviously not happy with how the game turned out, and sometimes when Kelly is furious, he slams his fist on the press conference table he’s behind. After LSU’s loss to USC earlier this season, Kelly’s angry table-slamming went viral.
So after the Gators’ upset win, their football Twitter account very politely trolled Kelly, asking him to refrain from damaging their tables.

Kelly reportedly complied, whether or not he was aware of this funny jab at his temper.
Update. No fireworks in Brian Kelly’s press conference.
Major takeaways: They can’t finish drives with points (as you saw). He says he’s getting more involved. He says only players who want to fight will play the last two regular-season games. https://t.co/N5AwSFTo3O
