The Truth of the Injury Cheering from Yesterday

Lame. Try again.

Makes sense to me.

I'm not "trying anything". These are the facts of what happened yesterday, take them how you want.

quote:

---

LSU fans were the first to start this trend yesterday (WHILE AN LSU PLAYER WAS DONE).

You mean when we started chanting the player's name who was down? Yes, had you allowed us to chant the down LSU player's name, momentum might have shifted our way. Good thing you stopped that from happening.

And contrary to what you wanna believe. When fans start cheering the very second a LSU player goes down, I have a hard time thinking this is "just to keep momentum on our side" But whatever helps you sleep at night.

And it wasn't just cheering from the Bama fans. The booing when T-Bob limped off the field pretty much summed it up. Defend it all you want, emotions run high in a game like this. But its something I've never experienced in any other stadium before. Even the Florida fans last year showed more respect and class than what the Alabama student section showed last night.

eta - And I won't even mention what the walk back after the game was like.

It's kind of funny how clueless some people act or at least how they leave out evidence contrary to their argument. I was at the game, yea Bama fans (myself included joined in) were cheering, but in no way was it because of the injury, but to keep a momemetum shift on our side, keep the energy up, things were exciting. The MAIN point I have to make though is this: LSU fans were the first to start this trend yesterday (WHILE AN LSU PLAYER WAS DOWN). To counteract this Bama

fans began cheering, you can't have opposing fans dominating crowd noise in your own stadium.

So to sum it up it went like this, during LSU injuries LSU fans took the respectful silence from the the audience in general as their opportunity to start yelling, Bama fans countered, and as the game went on Bama fans took the initiative before LSU fans had the chance during later injuries

I respectfully disagree. I've seen other games where the home fans have booed an injured player from the other team when the player didn't really seem that hurt and would develop a limp and go down to stop the clock. They typically get up with a slight limp and somehow are able to walk off completely normally. After a while it became obvious that you o-lineman was legitimatly hobbled. Having said that, it's bad form to boo. The injured player should alway be given the benefit of the doubt that he isn't faking it. I think the fact that Peterson went down 3 separate times like he had been shot only to quickly return had fans thinking their was a lot of faking of injuries going on. Still bad form to boo. I've been to a ton of Bama games before and that was a first for me and it was pretty embarrassing to hear.

what the hell did peterson have to gain by faking injury? he was DOMINATING jones like jones was a middle school player.

on the subject of the LSU "injuries" yesterday, if that many lineman are going out of the game leslie should look into a new S&C coach.

Like I said, emotions run high in a game like this. When you watch an opposing player go down over and over again, sometimes any logical thinking or understanding of what cramping can do gets thrown out the window. Your emotions get the best of you and cause you to do something stupid like boo or cheer an injured player. And that's what I think happened with the majority of the Bama fans not in the student section.
