He\u2019s uniting fans one meme at a time. <\/p>\n
A lifelong fan of the Tennessee Volunteers found himself at the center of a burgeoning meme featuring his own face after his animated reactions caught the eye of the jumbotron operator \u2014 and his employers, who thought he was out sick.<\/p>\n
Jeff Comeaux, a Knoxville native, displayed a rollercoaster of emotions during the close game against the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, which saw the undefeated team from the Peach State come out on top during overtime.<\/p>\n

Comeaux doesn\u2019t have a good poker face, and an eagle-eyed jumbotron operator picked up on this.<\/p>\n
Throughout the last few minutes of the game, when the score was neck and neck, the camera kept panning back to the Vols fan, who had no idea the entire stadium was laughing at his expressive reactions.<\/p>\n
At one point, Comeaux just stood there with his arms crossed over his chest as he watched on in apparent disappointment. <\/p>\n

All the while, he had no idea all eyes were on him. <\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t realize until after the game, when he checked his phone and found more than 200 texts from friends and even acquaintances talking about his big-screen feature during the game.<\/p>\n
The texts clued him in, and a random attendee who pointed at him while he was exiting the stadium and shouted, \u201cThat\u2019s the guy!\u201d<\/p>\n
