Heading into Tennessee's game vs. Alabama on Saturday, the Volunteers hadn't scored a touchdown in the 10 quarters of football they played. That streak extended into halftime, but was broken in the third quarter when Daniel Bituli took an interception back to the house.
That's when his teammate, Rashaan Gaulden, decided to give a double-finger salute to the Alabama crowd. Keep in mind, Tennessee was losing 28-7 at the time.

Definitely not the best look. Not only because it's extremely immature to give the middle finger to the home crowd, but it's made even worse by the fact your team is about to lose its third straight game and fall below .500 on the season.
You’re still losing by 21, Tennessee.

That’s 1 more touchdown than you have middle fingers. pic.twitter.com/pNuNlcOxhy
Not only was it in bad taste, but Gaulden was flagged for unsportmanlike conduct as well.
UPDATE:
To his credit, Gaulden later apologized for his double-finger salute.
Rashaan Gaulden steps up to the podium and apologizes. Classy and impressive. "That's not how my parents raised me."
