When it came time for Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” crew to make picks for Saturday’s game between Wisconsin and No. 4 Alabama, there was little question about who Mark Ingram would pick.
Still, the former Crimson Tide running back was able to make it interesting.
In front of a crowd of thousands of Badgers fans gathered outside Camp Randall Stadium, where “Big Noon Kickoff” was broadcasting from, Ingram trolled the gathered Wisconsin faithful.

Not only did he pick his former school, but Ingram turned to the audience and added some flair to his prediction, holding up an Alabama helmet and dishing out some trash talk.
“You know why 18 is on the helmet? Cause that’s how many nattys we got,” Ingram said, in reference to the Tide’s national championship count. “18 nattys. Roll Tide, baby.”
Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner who went on to play 12 seasons in the NFL, also put on the helmet while continuing his spiel.
“I know you don’t love me, but you’ve got to respect me,” said Ingram, who also expressed his love for Madison, which he said has “beautiful people” and a “beautiful campus.”
Each of the four members of the “Big Noon Kickoff” panel — which also features Urban Meyer, Matt Leinart and Brady Quinn — picked Alabama to win. Interestingly enough, Ingram predicted the smallest margin of victory, going with the Tide by 18.
