Overview

• During a pre-picks interview in Tuscaloosa, Theo Von asked Jess Sims, “Do I get to see you again?,” and she replied on air, “No, I hope not.”
• The clip, shared by Awful Announcing on X, quickly circulated with many users mocking Von and praising Sims’ deadpan response.
• Von served as the show’s celebrity guest picker and was the only panelist to choose Vanderbilt over Alabama.
• Alabama defeated Vanderbilt 30–14 later that day, undercutting Von’s lone upset pick.
• Mediaite reported that ESPN’s official College GameDay YouTube highlight appeared to remove the denial, and Von later posted “Shooters shoot” on social media while Sims and ESPN offered no further comment.
