OT: ND commit Elijah Hood has some fun with Bama
Notre Dame commit Elijah Hood caused a stir on twitter tonight with his Roll Toilet video. Alot of people were commenting about him taking it too far by some of his comments, but he said it was all in fun. I'm thinking he may have wanted to trash talk a program outside one that decimated the Irish not too long ago. The video reminds me of the stir Logan Tuley Tillman created last year when he burned THE LETTER.
One comment that really seemed to cause an uproar:
@Ian_Leo_M @natt_norm The sound of getting crushed by bama's what? failing grad rate for African Americans yea makes sense haha #RollToilet
anything done by the SEC. The SEC does not know, and never will know, what class is.
I think you missed the point of my statement.
Of course Bama was superior on the field. They buy up most of the best players, and the rest of the country takes the leftovers. Bama gives world class illegal benefits, and then uses every loophole possible for roster management, screwing countless players in the process.
Obviously not an ND fan, but Bama deserves any criticism they get.

And last, but not least, my favorite Nick Saban recruiting move. Holding bowl practices at HaHA Clinton-Dix and Dee Hart's high school when coaches weren't allowed to contact recruits. Saban and Alabama were nice enough to upgrade their field and locker room free of charge.

I'm not sure that really proves anything
That was pretty funny. I think the last time I heard someone yell "prove it" I was about 9 years old on a playground.
Who either got to finish up their college degree for free or transfer to another school to finish up their college degree for free.
That dastardly Saban!
... ND did take action. They also lost Vanderdoes for what (if rumors are to be believed) academic issues.
Both EG and Vanderdoes would still be in school at [insert SEC program here].
But Vanderdoes didn't end up at Kansas St or Memphis or something, he went to UCLA. I highly doubt it was an academic issue.
Actually, ND never released him from his LOI. He's sitting out a year before playing for UCLA.
That's ND people pumping the rumor about Vanderdoes and academics. He is already enrolled to start classes at UCLA this month. He must have just come to his senses and realized that ND is shit.
I wouldn't be happy if this came from a Michigan recruit, but since it's a ND guy taking shots at Alabama, it's actually kind of funny.
How is it sour grapes? Alabama is still recruiting him, it's not like when Urbz shuts people out...
Damn, he really showed them.
By the look on his face, probably a kidney stone.
One more reason to never learn how to use vine.
I dont even care. I thought this was really funny. I've seen/heard far worse from many recruits. This seems fairly good natured.
come on, that's pretty awesome. everyone needs to CHILLAX
The video was actually pretty funny, but he probably just should have left it at that. The rest of his trash talking kinda ruined it.
i pretty much only watched the video so you may be right.
that Hood's toilet comment came off real chicken-shit....amirite
Fo fo life.
You sure about that, being "a first" for a Michigan recruit? What did Devin Gardner do to his OSU letter again?
Ease up on the kid. He is probably being goaded into defending his choice. His tweet stressed grad rates for African-American athletes. As much as it hurts me to defend Notre Dame, their graduation rate is damn good. Alabama is not bad, but certainly not within reach of Notre Dame.
Sounds like the kid values his education and made his choice based on which school was more likely to get him a degree. It does make me wonder what he did with his OSU letters though...

Well, now i have an address in case i need to get a hold of Mr. Hood.
I don't get why people are so serious about this crap. It was a funny stunt. Laugh. Move on.
think this guy took it too far?
One of their own poisoned a sacred grove of trees on their rivals campus.
He committed at the end of April and Alabama is still recruiting him. Why is he not allowed to be irritated that they won't leave him alone? It would be in bad taste if he flushed the letter during a committment ceremony, but once he's picked his school, coaches should know that recruiting him comes with some risk.
It's actually an Auburn based dig. I used to date an Auburn coed and they would always chant, "Roll Tide roll, around the rim and down the hole. War Damn Eagle!"
