Kid grew up loving Bama. Walked on. Played some and won a title. Coached a little. Stayed connected to his teammates and college coaches. Got a job at a P5 school. Eventually became HC. Built that P5 team into a consistent winner. and led that team to heights they'd not reached in forever. won a title and talked about how much he loved Bama during his post game speech on the field. a few years went by and Bama called. that amazing Alabama fan came home to be HC at his alma mater. They kept winning a lot of games. The end.
Love that story, but with just a few minor tweaks, it would be a sequal to The Gene Stallings Story. I'll always love Stallings. For those of us who were just a little too young to appreciate Coach Bryant, Coach Stallings set the standard and gave us a glimpse of what it was like to watch The Bear.

Sounds fake - it really just reads as an ode to himself and how great of a person he is. I give it a 9.5 on creativity for a weird sort of deflection-melt though.

If true, great story.

You people bashing the parents are pussies. If the kids thing they can handle themselves then let them do it. Nobody put a gun to the bama fans head and made him watch the kids either.

Pretty much this. I'll admit, I enjoy a feel good story from time to time but that was just over the top. I had to stop reading when he talks about going to the bathroom with the boys.

That's not how I took It- I thought it was more of someone looking at a game a little differently and appreciating the pure joy of others even if their joy meant his team didn't win. You don't have to be a Saint to feel that way, just a decent human being.

Ya, I agree my 6 year old nephew told me he could drive so I just give him the keys. I mean he thought he could handle himself?Posted on 1/13/17 at 1:42 pm to rockiee
Oh yeah let me add- if the story is true, then those parents are crazy.

That's too long. Treat us like we're Floyd Mayweather. Cliff notes, please.

Good story, but kinda weird that it's being told from the Bama fan's perspective. He pats himself on the back multiple times and that doesn't sit well with me. I'm gonna go ahead and take everything he says as the truth though. Good for him and those kids.

I read it, nice story. But still..
That's great, but especially knowing what kind of fans the gumps are you don't leave a 6 and 9 year old by themselves amongst a section of bama fans. Hell forget hte fact that it's bama fans, you don't leave a 6 and 9 year old alone in any stadium. Awful decision...they'd get over being apart for 4 hours I'm sure.
frick you guy it's a football game and they are CHILDREN, they can cheer whenever they damn well please.
this guy needs to STFU
This is the kinda guy in the stands that tries to lecture people on what he saw in the coverages that the coaches didn't and how he would have known better.

my first question to Dad was this, why wouldn't you sit with one kid and your wife the other, to which he explained, they are inseparable and do EVERYTHING together and would not have it any other way.

Yeah! I mean obviously a 6 and a 9 year old know what's best right?

If true, he reversed jinxed our "Nacho guy"

Hey..I just copied and pasted the story to share...I have a 10 year old son. I run a Cub Scout Den of 15 boys so I am used to having several boys deposited and left for a while...
I am a little Older (in my 50's-yes with a 10 year old) and the things we did alone and on our own I would never allow my kids...This is a very public place and it probably look worse than it is leaving them alone.
I take the story for what it's worth and it sounds like a decent guy make the evening pretty neat

Yeah, in a setting where that is 100% expected. Those dads know exactly who they're leaving their sons with and know the rest of the group is there as well.
These irresponsible fricks left their young boys in a section of strangers. It blows my mind that in this day and age they could think that was remotely acceptable.
