Mark Ingram had some fun at the expense of Wisconsin fans on Big Noon Kickoff in Week 3.
The former Alabama running back is now a host on the FOX pregame show, which is in Madison for the Alabama-Wisconsin matchup.
The crew announced their picks for the day’s biggest games, including Alabama-Wisconsin. Naturally, Ingram went with his old team to win the matchup in Madison.
“You know what I’m doing. I’m rolling with the Tide, baby, I’m rolling with the Tide today,” Ingram declared while holding an Alabama helmet in the air.
“You know why 18 is on this helmet? Cause that’s how many Nattys we got.” @markingramII had to show love for @AlabamaFTBL in Wisconsin pic.twitter.com/W04hjPHKwb

Ingram was blasted with boos from the Badger fans in the crowd.
The former RB did say that Madison has “beautiful people,” but he wasn’t quit done with the trolling.
Before Ingram sat down, he asked the crowd and co-hosts if they knew why the Alabama helmet he was holding had the number “18” on it.
“Because that’s how many nattys we got,” Ingram answered excitedly. “Eighteen nattys. Roll Tide, baby!”
Ingram was a part of 1 of those national championships. The RB was a key part of the 2009 team that defeated Texas to win the BCS National Championship, as the first Heisman Trophy winner in Alabama history.
The former RB went on to be selected in the 1st round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. Ingram had an 11-year NFL career before entering broadcasting.
The Tide and Badgers are in the noon ET window, with the game airing on FOX.
