Cmon bob what is with the clickbait. They didn’t even talk about hitting her unless they moved on.

finebaum saying saban isn’t good or something like that is hysterical. He is the biggest Bama homer ever.
I’m sure he will be happy when they are in sec champ once again.

From the article:

”Alabama is investigating after a video on social media appeared to show wide receiver Jermaine Burton striking a female fan who rushed the field following Tennessee's 52-49 win over the Crimson Tide on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.

"We are aware of the situation with Jermaine Burton as he was exiting the field Saturday," Alabama coach Nick Saban said a statement Wednesday. "We are currently working to gather more information."

Emily Isaacs posted the video on her TikTok account and commented: "Jermaine Burton smacking me in the head while walking past him after their loss Saturday," with a thumbs-up emoji and an #ouch hashtag.”

saban has lost control of the program. This may be the beginning of the end.

Not a Saban fan by a long shot, but in fairness, he did go on to say that it was an unfortunate situation (i.e. fans running onto the field which has happened with every Bama road loss since 2013), but that this type of behavior was not acceptable regardless of whether fans should be on the field or not.

Yeah, not much he can say. If something similar happens down the road we should take a longer look at the issue but right now it’s nothing. It will blow over as far as the culture questions are concerned. Nobody’s going to pin this on Saban.

Slight tangent: I understand that coaches get paid good money, but boy is their job stressful. Teaching college mathematics is not high up on the list of stressful jobs, and I’m amazed at how much coaches go through, deserved or not.

"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".....or something like that.

Fixed.

Addendum: I shouldn’t be so cynical about having a MS from Tennessee; they gave me a chance, let me teach, let me grow up a little bit. But my first exam at Maryland, I got a 25/100. Do the math.

25/100. Algebraic Topology with Walter Neumann. I wasn’t even the worst in the class. Maryland takes their mathematics seriously. During my time there, they were top twenty. (They had some superstars.) At that level, the best grade on a final exam would be 75, 80.

Seems Emily Issac's TikTok is now private. Someone screen recorded it and shared it on Twitter.



Not the best quality, but it is what it is.

Saban isn’t going anywhere lol. Maybe the cfp, burton will be suspended until cfp. Doesn’t sec prohibit fans from running on to the field for fans and players safety?
hmmmm… interesting.

They will give him one more game. Another loss and he loses the (Saint) designation. Soon Bama fans will start a BOB for HC thread. Nick is over the hill.....hung on too long.....selfish. I wonder if another loss to Georgia will have Bama fans pining for all the players that entered the portal? Demanding the backup QB be given a "chance?"

I saw the video for the first time this morning. From what I've been hearing, I thought the player may have hit the girl with a right cross and knocked her out. It turned out he stuck out his arm as he walked by and barely grazed her. She stopped and grabbed her hair is if she thought someone may have put something there. She certainly didn't react as if she was hit in the face or anywhere else.

I'm all for people being held responsible for their actions but in this case I think some people are getting bent out of shape for no good reason.
