Travis Kelce was unhappy after his Cincinnati Bearcats came up short against Alabama on Friday night in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

Cincinnati was the first non-Power 5 school to make the playoff after going 13-0 during the regular season and through the conference championship. Kelce, who played tight end at Cincinnati before he was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs, was on hand at AT&T Stadium to watch the performance.

After the 27-6 loss, Kelce said he wasn’t totally impressed with Alabama.

"Let’s be honest tho…. Bama didn’t impress anyone tonight. They played good enough….," he tweeted.

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II took a joking shot at Kelce.

"Being a hater isn’t a good look on you trav!! U one of the last of the real," Ingram wrote.

Kansas City selected Kelce in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He had 45 catches for 722 yards and eight touchdowns in his senior season with Cincinnati. He’s become one of the best tight ends in NFL history since coming into the NFL.
