South Carolina fans troll Mike Bobo on Twitter ahead of game vs. Auburn

South Carolina is set to host Auburn on Saturday. A win by the Gamecocks will make them bowl-eligible at 6-5 ahead of the Palmetto Bowl rivalry game against Clemson on Nov. 27.
Of course, Saturday will mark the return of Mike Bobo, who spent 1 season as the Gamecocks’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach before later becoming interim head coach following the firing of Will Muschamp. Shane Beamer opted to retain Bobo, but he instead went to the Plains to join new Bryan Harsin.
Saturday will be interesting due to the familiarity Bobo has with a number of players on the South Carolina roster. Among the fans, though, the Bobo era hasn’t exactly evoked happy memories. Across social media on Tuesday and Wednesday, Gamecocks supporters took their turns trolling the former South Carolina OC with some rather humorous tweets:
Mike Bobo sips coffee and goes "AH" every single time.

We’ll see if Bobo and the Tigers get the last laugh in the matter on Saturday. South Carolina and Auburn kick off at 7 p.m. ET, with the game to be televised on ESPN.
