Too many heart attacks. Was a downer to have EMTs on the field while folks were getting autographs

I wonder if fans were told ahead of time or if they only found out when they showed up.

There's a reason Saban has his place in Lake Burton...seen him several times up there and he doesn't have to deal with those Alabama miscreants you see in the OP.

because of the ridicule they received. They are a sensitive bunch. Can't believe the Running of the Gumps is no more.

Trailers will be burned and wives will be beaten over this decision. This is all a lot of Gump fans had to live for. That and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
