WATCH: Alabama offensive lineman trolls Auburn during Birmingham Bowl practice

An Alabama offensive lineman took a chance to troll their rival Auburn as the Tigers held an open practice ahead of their Birmingham Bowl appearance. Javion Cohen filmed a short video of himself overlooking the Auburn practice before striking the Karate Kid pose that the teams traded jabs over during their matchup this season.

Trolling Auburn’s Birmingham Bowl practice

Cohen added another layer to the in-state rivalry between Alabama and Auburn over the holidays by getting in one last jab over their regular season win. During the Iron Bowl, Auburn mocked the go-to celebration for Alabama’s receivers by mimicking their Karate Kid celebration pose. Alabama got the last laugh by defeating their rival in the fourth overtime period, but the rivalry doesn’t end because the season does.

While it was unclear why Cohen was in Birmingham for the Tigers’ open practice, he took his chance to jab one last time before both teams play their postseason games. Tuscaloosa is about an hour away from Birmingham, and it’s possible that Cohen was just passing by the practice at a perfect time on his way to his hometown of Phenix City.

The Tigers held their practice at one of the premier high schools in Alabama, Hoover High. Hoover High is located on the outskirts of Birmingham, giving Auburn a closer location to practice before the game on Dec. 28.

Alabama’s players were allowed to go home for the Christmas holiday again despite the ongoing concerns involved with COVID-19. The Crimson Tide held practice on Wednesday before coach Nick Saban released the players for the holiday break. Saban recently stated as many as 90% of his players have received booster shots for the virus, and each player was given a care package to help keep them safe and healthy before their College Football Playoff semifinal matchup with Cincinnati.
