🏈 After the UT score the TD!

[rick4bama]

I really think he should have been kick out of the game! But that is me, I would think the same if one of our guy did this to the other fan base.

 

[planomateo]

He was just counting the number of consecutive games Alabama's won.

I didn't have a problem with it. Sure, a lot of women will say "Stay Classy Tennessee", but they don't know what it's like to hate a rival and play a sport with so much testosterone that these things happen. It's what makes the rivalry so great. Don't forget, Bo went over the wall at Neyland and stuck his hand in a fan's face. A little different than a middle finger, but same type of meaning.

He did apologize, saying that he wasn't brought up that way. To the UT fans, UA fans, and to US student body.

I pulled something similar in a HS basketball game my senior year of HS. We were playing a rival and I had a 3 point attempt blocked and their stands gave me hell. Next trip down, I gave a pump fake, watched the guy fly by and I nailed the three! I flipped the finger over my closed mouth!!! Testosterone does get to flowing but you have to play with a little more class. Direct reflection of your coaches.

Seriously? Never once while playing football, even a pick up game, did I feel the need to flip off anyone. There is something said about having class and respect, regardless of who you're playing. Beat their ass on the field, that hurts much more than two middle fingers anyway. And good lord that comparison to Bo holding the script A on his glove up to a fans face is so far out of whack, I can't believe you said it even with the "A little different" caveat.

 

[planomateo]

Elevennessee, they can no longer be known as Tennessee

 

[bamaledge]

How about those times when JPW just held his hand up like “ call me” to the LSU fans and got flagged for it?

 

[bamaledge]

The rules must be different in Ttown than red stick.

I'm not even going to get into a long back and forth conversation with you here, because there is no point in attempting to reason with a person like you, but I will say this one last thing. Any true athlete knows emotions get the better of them in some way, shape or form at some point in their athletic career. Whether it's a high heater that threatens the health of a batter, a shot at a guys knees in football, or getting under a guy going for a dunk or layup to give a hard foul, that's just sports. Human nature kicks in, and it doesn't matter what kind of coaching happens, and individuals actions can preceed that. Hell, even a coach, Jimbo Fisher got into it with a fan and threatened him to come to the field after their loss. It can happen to anybody in any position! We all boil over at some point.

And Bo going over a wall at Neyland is as close to saying fuck you as the middle finger, he knew exactly what he was doing, made the effort to go out of his way, over the wall, and get in that guys face. I had no issue with that because that's just sports and competition. That the way Saban coached him? Yeldon doing the throat slash at Texas A&M, was that how Saban coached him, or even remotely close to the guy anyone knew in Yeldon? Now if you want to coddle our players and take offense to opposing players, that's you deal, but don't act like you know what each and every one of these guys are thinking and doing, because you just sounded like a pretentious little bitch that acts like he's better than everyone, cool under pressure, and has the answer to everything. Well just from this site, I can tell that's not true. And no, I don't like you, I can't stand you.

. Direct reflection of your coaches.

So is consistently choke-holding the LT on a pass rush.

When I was still coaching and working Saban camps, my first year there Coach Saban said something that really struck me. Referencing bad tendencies or habits on the field, he said "You're either coaching it, or you're allowing it to happen."

I told my wife after the 2nd hands to the face call, who doesn't care a lot about football, that THAT was coaching... Teaching or allowing dirty pass rush techniques like that. She agreed and said it was bullshit.

Both of those calls came on Kongbo as well. Nice player development they have on the Hill.

Yup.

@BamaFan334, just ignore him. I did and I’m much happier. I can’t stand him either!

 

[alabama mike]

Jones should have removed him from the game, if he knew about it.

 

[bama alum]

I think he would have had to known about since he had to get an explanation of the penalty. The sad part about this for Jones (not for us), is that Gaulden is the only player he has on D who consistently plays well. It's not Kongo, who ran his mouth about UThug was going to take Bama down when he committed.

Imagine how boring life would be if everyone with a differing opinion was muted...

I think you are misremembering what happened. Bo did not go over a wall. He stopped at the wall and tried to get a high five from the Tennessee fan.
