Proper grammar and correct spelling is apparently optional in Alabama.

[Travis Scott]

wow. just wow

This may be more of an indictment of the sadness that social media is becoming than just bama fans. People swell up hard when it's just words on a computer screen.

Agree

[Green P1]

And some people think out fan base is too hard on DT.....

[Christopher Walker]

Sadly, I was completely expecting this.

[Harry]

Pathetic...

[emmitt01]

This is a fan base that poisoned a tree.

I had a run in with a couple Bama fans last night. They literally were about to fight me and a random gentleman because we were talking about the game, neutrally I might add. They had to be kicked out and one of them got tackled by a bouncer and cops called on him. Rough night for those Bama fans.

poor Kid... good thing is that life goes on for him, unlike most of those "fans" who were saying that garbage who clearly have nothing else going for them!

[oldguystudent]

I, for one, can totally understand their anger. I mean, most of these f***tards are going to have to find a new team to bandwagon right before the holidays.

Lulz.

We rag on DT a lot but I hope none of us/students at UNT would steep that low. Even if he threw a game losing interception against UTSA I would be the first to post about how upset I was with him, but never anything close to that.

When you live in a state like Alabama you don't have much else going on or going for you so I could see them losing their minds over a game. So dumb.

Pure greatness there.

Plenty of time to change those Christmas lists and add some Fla St. gear to them...lmao!

[LongJim]

Not surprised at all.

Alabama's state slogan is "Thank GOD for Mississippi otherwise we would be last in everything."

[JesseMartin]

If that kid gets sick of this crap and has any eligibility left, somebody tell him we have a nice warm bed waiting in Victory Hall. A fanbase that is occasionally upset and criticizes performance is normal, which I'm sure he's used to and would prefer over that crap if he keeps getting harassed. Pretty sure most FBS teams would be glad to have Bama's kicker if his own "community" wants to run him off, and I'd put money on Mac making a place for him. I know it's just a small vocal sample, but compared to our own "small vocal sample" that's just insane.

I think the most pathetic part of your story is that I can bet you these 'fans' had never even set foot in Tuscaloosa.

Yeah, and the idiot wasn't even an alum, was he? Which is probably the case for most of these internet idiots going after a STUDENT kicker.

I tend to agree with Clay Travis' take on Bama fans: 15% of their fans -- the actual students and alums -- are mostly embarrassed by the 85% who aren't.
