I thought that was very bush league and poor sportsmanship.
Texas @ alabama
- Thread starter Spurhunter
- Start date
I had to watch the replay of the last three snaps and this is just not true; especially regarding Turner. The Bama players went at about 25% so, yes, they should have let off a little more but it was not egregious.
Oh, wait, given Bama's pass rush all game, maybe they did launch like it was the 1st quarter...

I disagree. They didn't fire off the ball like the game was still in jeopardy. They didn't just stand there like some teams do. I really don't have a problem with either. To say that's thug behavior or classless is stretching.
I really think this team needs more fight in them
(not actual fist fight). There was play where the Texas player drove the Bama player into the ground after the play was over and the other Bama players just watched. I'm not saying get a pf or anything but you have to be able to stick up for each other and push back. JMHO
Shocker. Two bama fans disagree.
I guess when bama fans will defend a football player for pushing a woman they aren't going to see anything negative.
Fast forward to 2:02:30 and see for yourselves. alabama fans need not watch. This wasn't nearly as bad as pushing a woman and that was defended.
And a UT fan sees something that is not there. You really need to rewatch the last three snaps.

I didn't defend this.
I just posted the video. I guess the Texas center was knocked on his ass by crowd noise.
You did not and I should've clarified that. Several here did though.
LOL. The center never got knocked on his butt in last three snaps. He lunged under the defenders and fell on his face in the 2nd snap; didn't go down in the other two snaps. Again, seeing things that aren't there.
You are correct. He wasn't knocked on his ass. I was wrong on that one but I stand by the rest of it.

Nobody knocked the center down. I'm all for sportsmanship and showing class but there wasn't anything unsportsmanlike in the last 3 plays.
I'm not sure I care that much either way. Football is rough. I didn't see anything where it looked like anyone was trying to hurt somebody intentionally. That's the only place I'd have a problem.
I've already admitted that I was mistaken on that.

Crammit. I was hopin Milroe would be the guy until after we played them. Thought that was probably our best shot at beating them.
This video features an alabama fan yelling "hateful" and "disgusting" (gasp) insults at Texas players. I know this goes on at every game and I thought the Texas players' reactions were pretty comical. Also, I'm pretty sure they got the last laugh.
