Auburn Legend Bo Jackson Turns Down Fan For Photo Op To Keep Watching College Basketball Game
Don't interrupt Auburn football legend Bo Jackson when he's watching his Tigers play.
Jackson was spotted at Neville Arena for the Auburn men's basketball game against South Carolina on Wednesday. During the conference matchup, a fan saw Jackson and stopped to ask the Auburn great for a photo op.

Normally, Jackson is friends with fans. But the '85 Heisman winner wasn't having any of it during the game and waved off the fan to keep watching his Tigers from the student section.
The optics gave all the sympathy to the fan. But for sports die-hards, Jackson's response might've been too nice.
Jackson even signaled at the fan to go back to his seat and "watch the game!" Brilliantly stated by Jackson.
No selfie for you!
You be the judge: was Jackson rude for turning down the in-game photo? Or was the Auburn student out of bounds for interrupting the Auburn legend? Send us your thoughts: alejandro.avila@outkick.com .
