I 100% believe it. One of their players had said earlier last week that most teams are beat before they even step on the field because of the reputation and the fear that the name Alabama brings with it so they were using the "red team" as to not get into that.

I dont think any of the players from Bama even heard about it tho, I 100% believe that was Coach Saban manufacturing motivation. "Listen to them, they won't even show you the respect to say your name!" And that is why he is a freaking genius.

I agree with you. Now, however, it sounds like "Thank you, sir. May I have another."

You could tell AJ wasn't to please with the words "red team" during the interview at the end of the game.

You can call me A. You can call me J. You can call me A.J. But, you don't have to call me "red team"

And, it's Crimson, not red, anyway

That's what was funny to me. They don't even know what color we wear.

But, they do. Which gives less credence to what Jones had to say post game.

Tennessee's actions were ill advised, whatever their intent. It's like there's a big dog in your neighborhood, and you don't know if it is friendly or not. When you walk by its house you don't go poking at it with a stick.

Except he wasnt just saying AFTER the game. I saw interviews where players were talking about it BEFORE the game.
