OT: Bama fan poses as LSU coach, trolls recruits

Submitted by GoWings2008 on January 25th, 2015 at 7:25 AM

WTF is wrong with people? Glad that it didn't get out of hand but I hope this guy gets a lifetime ban from all their games. http://fanbuzz.com/story/alabama-fan-poses-as-lsu-coach-trolls-recruits/

It's funny but awful at the same time.

This is a good example why institutions, teams, and coaches need to make sure they get official and verified accounts on social media

I know what you're saying, but I tend to lean more toward the idea that dumb people make themselves do dumb shit. Twitter simply gives them a platform from which to display said dumb shit.

No Way! A fan of Alabama did something insanely stupid that demonstrates just how ridiculously out of proportion they take their collegiate fandom?

I mean I guess it's not THAT bad. It's not like they shot family member over making jokes about losing or something insane like that.

I had the pleasure of living in Alabama for a short stint... Its ridiculous how serious they take this shit. I live in Austin now, and while Texas football is pretty serious (as is Michigan obviously) it doesn't compare to what goes on in Alabama... Its kind of disturbing

Among the pending replies to the Deadspin story is the first question which might naturally come to mind here:

Alabama fans have internet access? Who allowed that?

Kudos to LSU for squashing that one rather promptly. As Magnus points out above, "people are dum"...indeed, so "dum" sometimes that it isn't worth the "b" at the end.

If this is a Bama fan, the NCAA could impose a penalty on Bama (not likely, but possible). The parallel here would be a team booster contacting recruits via Twitter, which I assume is not okay and would be punished (more likely at least). I'm not sure where the booster vs casual fan line is, but the same rules should apply at some level.

I think we are all boosters. But what kind of penalty would be appropriate. Maybe Bama just sends out messages to the fan base to lock it down, like UM has done in the past.

Or... North Korea and Anonymous can hack the guy's account.

I don't think it really could without a more clear link, but it's possible. I actually think this was a point made by someone on this site a while time back.

IIRC, a person becomes a booster as soon as they buy tickets to a single game or makes any contribution to the school's athletics department. I think that even membership to an alumni association can qualify if the association promotes athletics.

Because we all knew this was coming, and it's not going to stop either. I hope this brings awareness to all Michigan fans and we're never in this same boat.

I don't care how clever or smart you are...it's just stupid, unnecessary and something no one should be doing.

This looks terrible on so many levels and can cause way more harm than good. In fact, no good can ever come of it.

I'm making it seem like a big deal, but in the end...just don't be "that guy." It's that simple, it's not complicated.

Unless of course, you're a fan in the SEC.
