The Mayan calendar, Eddie Lacy and Nick Saban

Posted on December 20, 2012 by | Comments Off

Alabama punter Cody Mandell (@CodyMandell29) has informed us on Twitter how teammate Eddie Lacy (@lil_eazy_ana_42) joked about the Mayan calendar, which some say predicts the world will end Dec. 21, 2012, which is tomorrow.

If Lacy is right, can you imagine how that team meeting would go?

The Crimson Tide and Twitter

Posted on October 19, 2012 by | Comments Off


We’re posting some of the best tweets by Alabama players on Twitter from the past week, and the one above from Barrett Jones seems to be a favorite of many. More than 600 people have retweeted it. We’re guessing he was watching the Oregon-Arizona State game at the time.

It drew this response from former Crimson Tide linebacker Jerrell Harris
(‏@Bama_Boy256), now with the Jacksonville Jaguars: “Tradition baby!!!!”

More tweets from Tide players:

Anthony Steen
(‏@bamasteen61): “They sleep, we grind. They dream, we shine.”

T.J. Yeldon (‏@T_Yeldon): “I hate washing clothes.” (Me, too.)

Nick Perry (‏@NIckPerry_27): “I never thought I would’ve made it this far”

Cody Mandell (‏@CodyMandell29): “Today is that day you’ve been waiting on! Get it done!” He then followed up with this tweet: “Sometimes I tweet stuff to motivate myself. It works though haha”

Adrian Hubbard (‏@__MrRuga42): “If i threw a house party you guys think anyone would come?” (Probably a lot of people would come.)

Carson Tinker (‏@carsontink): “It’s football weather up here in Knoxville! See y’all tomorrow”

And this one came from a fan, who cheers for Tennessee. If he doesn’t like Alabama, that doesn’t extend to Tide quarterback AJ McCarron:

Wes Anderson (‏@andersonw19): “I remember walking out of the stadium last year and talking with @10AJMcCarron and his family. Die hard #Vols fan but dude is a class act.”

Cyrus Kouandjio (@ck_allday71): “My teacher just said football players are modern day gladiators lol”

We’ve found that plenty of you like it when we compile a list every now and then of some entertaining posts by Alabama players on Twitter.

Here’s the latest batch as the Crimson Tide heads to Arkansas:

Amari Cooper (‏@amari_coop2) after arriving: “I just saw a donkey for the first time lol.. I guess its a welcome to Arkansas.”

Carson Tinker (‏@carsontink) on how players stay entertained on a plane ride: “I did the math and we have about $12,000 worth of Beats by Dre headphones on our team”

Anthony Steen (‏@bamasteen61) on ordering to go: “Hate the feelin when u go into a place 2 order ur food an u get it 2 go an as u stand waiting for ur food u feel like everyone is staring at u.”

(Keep in mind Twitter has a 140-character, which forced Steen to use shorthand.)

Robert Lester (‏@RobertLester_37) on channel surfing: “Woow! This Honey Boo Boo show is unbelievable!”
