Alright, all you cynics out there. Let’s talk about the photo below that’s going extremely viral.
It depicts a Florida State lineman getting down on a knee and proposing to his girlfriend, something that’s not that out of the ordinary.
But what is? The fact that this lineman decided to do it while Jacksonville State was in the middle of celebrating a massive upset that came after a shocking last-second touchdown on a 4th-and-10 from Jacksonville State’s own 41-yard line (see below).
But let’s stop criticizing him for a second here. So what if the proposal came after a loss? It’s just a game! This dude just proposed — I hope he got a yes! — and has something a lot more important to look forward to instead of dwelling on a loss of a football game.

Quite a win in the face of such a bad loss. And, hey, now they have a great photo of the moment! So what if it’s not like Ian Johnson’s or Trevor Lawrence’s?
