A tuba player ended up punching a heckler in the face after he'd had enough of being taunted during a college football game.
The shocking incident was caught on camera on Saturday in a match between Texas Southern and Jackson State in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. During the game at the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, a Jackson State fan was seen holding a drink and confronting a nearby Texas Southern tubist playing in the stadium's stands.
The fan then began to seemingly shout aggressively at the musician as he tried to carry on playing his instrument. Despite trying to rebuff the baseball-capped man with a few words, he continued to apparently agitate the tube player.

The brief fracas happened without the tuba player missing a beat of the tune as he continued to pump out the bouncing music.
In one video posted on Twitter, the band member can be heard telling the fan to 'f**k off, b***h.' While another video posted on Instagram is reportedly from the angle of the heckler, with some users saying the man was upset after being spat on.

The fan falls backwards after being hit (theekaylan/X)"(I know him, he a cool dude) He says y’all creating a false narrative that he broke rank and spit on dude……. And tbh I slick don’t see the spit, now breaking ranks I somewhat see both sides . What y’all think???"
It's unclear if the police responded to the incident or whether or not the fan had any injuries. While it's also unknown if the tubist was allowed to continue for the rest of the game or faced criminal charges for his actions. Texas Southern lost the match to Jackson State with the score at 21-19.

It is unclear if the police were called to the incident (bandtalkbyxlm/Instagram)In August it was reported that the world of college football is on the brink of a significant transformation as eight schools prepared to transfer to new conferences, raising questions about the future of the "Power Five" conferences. For decades, the top-tier teams in the NCAA were divided among the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC.
However, recent announcements have shaken up this arrangement. The Pac-12, in particular, is facing uncertainty as eight teams expressed their intention to leave the conference.
