Daniel Carlson had to know he was going to catch some heat for his comment on Tuesday.

The former Auburn kicker went on “The Paul Finebaum Show” and said that Alabama “might be national champs but we’re state champs.”

It just so happened that Carlson did that while Alabama was at the White House being honored for winning the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship.

Former Alabama linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton offered up his take on what the former Auburn kicker said about the Tigers’ Iron Bowl victory:

There are probably no shortage of Alabama fans who can easily brush off the Iron Bowl loss since the Tide still won it all.

Perhaps trolling the national champs isn’t the best idea for anyone.
