Alabama's Damien Harris deletes tweet about Kentucky matchup
Alabama running back Damien Harris is from Berea, Kentucky, and he ended up choosing the Crimson Tide over the home state Wildcats as a five-star recruit in the class of 2015.
As one might imagine, fans in the Bluegrass state hoped that Harris would stay home. As sometimes happens, a small faction of the fan base lashed out at Harris on social media after he made his college choice.
With the Crimson Tide playing host to the Wildcats this week, Harris sent out a tweet about the matchup - and them promptly deleted it.
Here is what is said:

We're not sure if Harris had a change of heart, or if someone from Alabama asked him to delete the tweet. Either way, Harris isn't 100% entering the matchup.
Harris left Alabama's game on Saturday after just four carries. He was taken to the locker room with an injury or injuries to his right leg. BamaOnline reported his ankle was heavily taped, but he also appeared to be hit in the knee with a helmet.
Harris is the team's leading rusher with 345 yards rushing on just 40 carries (8.6 yards per carry). He has a rushing touchdown, and has added four catches for 15 yards.
We'll see how healthy he is and how personal it gets against UK on Saturday.
