Alabama Coach Accosted leaving Pressbox

[sh4bama]

One Alabama assistant coach was accosted (some witnesses said punched) by an Ole Miss fan as he tried to make his way from the press box to the locker room. The behavior isn’t excusable, although the consternation of Rebel fans is understandable.

That is totally inexcusable, and I'd like to know more about this. Seeing that I haven't heard a word from ESPN I'll have to wait and see if Cecil has more to say about it.

Anyone know who the coach was?

I hope the fan was apprehended or I.D'd and is prosecuted.

Fan behavior everywhere seems to be getting more and more out of hand.

i hope that they throw that jackass under the jail , there is no exuse for that kind of behavior

Not tthat this is worse than getting punched, but someone stole an Alabama magnet off my jeep. Now if that is Alabama or Ole Miss, that may be another story. Ole Miss fans did not reflect well today with regards to class, or lack thereof.

I agree, it seems to get worse and worse. Some people need to realize that it's NOT life or death! (Even though it may feel that way)

Let's see if arse-clowns at ESPN will even mention it.

Probably not. I'm guessing that the victim was probably MA, because of where he was...

 

[AngryEwok]

It all comes down to a total lack of respect... Assaulting the staff, throwing garbage, yes, even stealing car magnets - it's all just classless and I'm afraid this sort of thing is becoming more and more widespread in sports.

I doubt it because it wasn't at ND or a Big Televen school.

I hope some of the Bama "witnesses" came to his defense....Man, this is boiling my blood.

 

[TIDE24]

i took my magnets off my truck before entering the stadium. i'm glad i did.

It could happen at most any SEC school.

There's nothing wrong with college kids drinking before or even during games. But there is something wrong when these novice wussydrinkers cannot control their bodies to any degree whatsoever and go from cursing, slobbering, and drooling to actually physically abusing others.

They need at these games to have people like they used to have at the churches hundreds of years ago--guys who'd conk people on the heads with these long metal rods with steel knobs on the ends when those individuals weren't behaving properly (dozing off). Maybe it would motivate some of the noobs to stick to beer and leave the bourbon to the big boys.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Would you change your name to "Jack Beer," if it would help?

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Hey now!

edit: aww the

smiley can't be seen clearly on this board. my old favorite furious smiley.

edit 2: to overlook any negative insinuations and answer the question, yes, I would change the handle, if that's what it took--not that I should have to be held responsible for these idiotic children that can't hold their liquor for squat.

But I prefer that they be beaten with the rods while I keep the name, for the record.

Guess we are going to have to start sending troopers up to the box .

I just got back home and am not shocked at this one bit. As we were leaving the stadium today I was almost hit with a half full water bottle. But other than that had a great time sitting around nothing but OM fans. They were great the whole game we ran our mouths at each other and had a good time with it. One of them even kept me from going up to the stands where the bottle was thrown and asked me to not judge there fan base on some jackass that didn't have enough class or manhood to say something face to face and was a coward. So to the OM fans that might read this that were in section G today thank you for having class and showing what the true spirt of football is all about.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

Believe it or not, it was just about that emotional on this board during the game. Ole' Miss definitely steps it up a notch against us, who knew. Oh yea, Jess did! I did too honestly
