I don't follow baseball, but didn't I read that game ended up 8-6?



Sure did. Entered the top of ninth down 8-2 and scored 4 with two outs.

This saga is just weird. Makes NO sense.

How dumb can one be? Byrne should be next to be fired.

My favorite part was when they were like “no one bets on college baseball up here so this seemed weird.”

What a dumbass. Win or lose, really close to pulling the plug on caring about college athletics.

I'd imagine there were some tight buttholes in the Alabama dugout there towards the end.

"Go get em coach."

"But he's pitching well."

"JUST frickING DO IT."

Nope, he got himself ejected very early so that his game decisions couldn’t be questioned

Corruption is so rampant within that organization that he probably didn't even know that this was wrong. They have literally cheated at everything for years with no consequences.

Coach didn’t make enough to make a $100,000 bet.. his salary of $475k was 2nd lowest in the SEC.

My guess is that he owed someone some serious money, and this was an attempt to square things up. Based on the stupidly of the decision, it sounds like someone who felt he had no where else to turn.

This story may end up having a tragic ending beyond the current storyline..

That’s right. My bad. Well maybe he went double or nothing over whether he could get himself ejected on Saturday.

In retrospect, can you imagine Bohannon's reaction when the news broke about suspicious gaming activity in Ohio involving Alabama baseball?

Saban washing his hands of the University would only be tragic to a select few.

Sportsbook surveillance video indicated that the person who placed the bets was communicating with Bohannon at the time


How would surveillance show who’s on the other end of the line?

Per Ben Upton

“Phone records were searched (which lead to instant firing)”

“A lot of money was bet”

“Not the only time it’s happened”

Jesus. I’d really like to hear from some Bama baseball fans that might know of some weird things that happened in games. Like how many late leads have they blown?

Coaches do such weird shite in baseball that it would be hard to know from the outside looking in.

Some news org is going to FOIA his phone records associated with this though, and we’ll learn exactly what games it was.
