College football fans are known to bring crass signs to ESPN College GameDay sets, but the show does a pretty good job at getting the crude humor out of the public eye.
So it was curious when the franchise and tasteless cardboard peddler Pizza Hut linked up to promote a tasteless (at best) sign featuring Auburn's Gus Malzahn and a dig at Urban Meyer's health.

Let's see how the joke played out with three women who were more in-tune with Urban Meyer's health than some Alabama yokel who's obviously still salty about the 2014 campaign:
@CollegeGameDay @pizzahut ok that's not funny AT ALL. VERY classless. I'm pretty shocked at you. #EnoughIsEnough #stopthehate

Makes me sick. "Appropriate" my a**. Stick to what happens on the field. That's all y'all know anything about. https://t.co/X46VsELkcn

Shame on the fan for that sign but even more shame on @CollegeGameDay for promoting such trash. Someone's health isn't a joke - classLESS.

As if we needed another reason to never eat Pizza Hut or watch College GameDay.
I'd also like to think this Alabama fan ended up shirtless in a Tuscaloosa gutter (redundant, I know) due to blacking out from Peach schnapps after the Tide choked at home. Water always finds its own level, after all.
