Too bad it has to be personal Damien. Sorry about that. As a UK fan I have moved on and wish you only the best. You chose the superior program and it was best for you. I can accept that and as a father I would encourage my son to do the same. Now put away your twitter and act like a grown up. It is not personal for us.
It's not like UK didn't offer him a scholarship. He is really immature compared to other guys his age. I wonder why he deleted it...
To bad we really don't have any one that likes really likes to light up opposing rb's. Other than Jordon Jones is maturing into a possible great LB I don't see anyone who flys to the ball and delivers hits like a Trevathn, Woodyard, etc. but those guys were not as spoiled or worried about uniwasg as many on this team seem to be.
Until I see something about him posted on here, I don't give him any thought. And I don't care what he thinks or what he does. So meh.
We've got one but he's just running down on kick offs right now. I bet #56 would like to take a shot.
It's personal because people from Ky trash him on message boards and tweets every day because he chose to go to a better football program and not where they wanted him to go. Grow up people.
Because Saban probably reamed his arse! Stoking the fires etc.....Although UK has no shot at winning this game, Saban doesn't want them looking past it either! I think he should wear the name B ARNOLD on his jersey.....
Stoops' boys on defense better buckle the old chinstrap pretty tight this week, if they go out there and look disinterested and disorganized like they have for most of Stoops' tenure they'll be down by a double nickel at the end of the first
Pitchout to Damien Harris...he's to the 20....the 10....he's arrested at the 5 for possession of an illegal substance!
A double nickel? Try down a whole quarter at the end of the quarter lol. I just hope nobody gets hurt and we put points on the board.
I remember a couple of years ago watching him and Stoops walking side by side during the cat walk and now the little boy is saying this is personal, Kentucky fans for the most part have moved on but he wants to stoke the fire. Picking Alabama was his choice, Migel Merrit did and so did Shawn Alexander and both had good careers but they never said much about Kentucky two years after picking Alabama. It's clear this kid is immature and someone told him to use better judgement, but he still got his point across, maybe a wildcat will ring his bell Saturday, since it's personal.
I can only agree with about half of your post. This has been beaten like a dead horse but I have to say it again. I don't think many UK fans are upset with him going to Alabama. But he came to all of the UK games and he and Stoops had a man crush on each other before he chose to attend Alabama. Now he takes shots at UK every chance he gets. That's the issue, not the fact that he chose Alabama. I'd probably encourage my son to go to Alabama over UK if I had a son that had the potential that DH has. With that said I realize he'll probably be able to laugh at us for a long time but he's a huge a-hole due to the reason I stated and he can go to hell now IMO. I wouldn't wish injury to any player but I'd pay to see someone put a hit on him like the one Dicky Lyons Jr put on that LSU player a few years ago. I'd like to see one of our guys 'legally' smash him.
I'm thinking this has a lot to do with the reaction he received from the UK fanbase after his decision. Regardless, I don't think him making such a proclamation has any impact whatsoever on the game. As others have said, DH never crosses my mind, until threads like this show up. Good luck Damian. Here's hoping we show up and make you earn it.
Put the 3rd string defense in for the first 3-4 possessions and let them have there way with him or any of the Bama players for that matter.
Bum ankle but he'll give it a go. Damien just has to get on the field to set this vendetta lol. Saban may tell him to sit this one out.
looks like you havent.
go check their social media pages. probably something on their twitter, facebook, or instagram.
These 2 posters are absolutely correct.
This has nothing to do with the staff, he knows they did a good job recruiting him.
It is the idiots who trashed him on social media.
@CHAMPCAT11 you are only seeing people here that understand his decision. So many more people out there on twitter and instagram, etc slammed the kid and still do.
It's not us on here, or the coaches, or the school - he is talking to many kids his age and those a little older, not to mention some adults who are idiots and chastise a kid going to another school on social media, and like all fanbases we have our fair share.
No reason for any posters here to take this personal.
Every fanbase has those idiots. For every person that bashed him, there were many many more who didn't. Say for instance, 200 people on Twitter bashed him. Idk the actual numbers, but it's less than a percent of our actual fanbase. That's why I don't get it, but if it makes him feel better..
I'm making this personal as I watch this game from my basement!
I will be personally cheering for UK.

Mike, you have 2485 likes on here. You probably cant remember 15 of them.
But I bet you can name a hand full of trolls who you havent gotten along with...
Young immature kid definitely wasnt prepared for the backlash after years of praise and social media can be brutal.
Doesn't bother me in the least, I saw many of the bad messages sent to him.
I think folks here are over-exaggerating who the message was intended for...
Or there a few people on social media he is going back and forth with...?
Stop trying to make it more than it is.
And yes, I probably am right...
Why is it "personal" to him? He rejected us, we didn't slight him. Is he talking about how our fans treated him for choosing Bama?
Assuming all of this is true and Harris deals with this daily, he plans to take it out on UK's defenders, none of whom are included in the grouping that you say have made it "personal." If I was a UK defender, I would take THAT personally.
