The Best Tweets From Alabama vs. Ole Miss
By Chris Dodson
Saturday was the epitome of why many people in the college football community say “Any given Saturday.” Eight teams total in the Top 25 were upset by lower-ranked teams in Week 6, five of which came from unranked opponents. Alabama, unfortunately, was one of those victims. Ole Miss swallowed Alabama and capitalized on mistakes in the 4th quarter to put the finishing touches on a thrilling 23-17 game.
Whether in victory or in defeat, we still collect some fantastic tweets for your enjoyment. Maybe these will help bring up your spirits.
Best way to confuse the opposing offense: By seemingly leaving two players open

Remember that defensive play where Ole Miss was in spread and Alabama left two players open to cover the line? Can you imagine what Freeze was thinking? “What’s that Saban up to now…I don’t know, but I don’t like it. Timeout!” Mind games are fun.
FIELD GOALS ARE HARD

The kicking game, however, is not. Adam Griffith was a season low 1 for 3 on field goal attempts and Alabama’s kick coverage lackluster in giving up 112 total yards on 4 kickoffs. Not to mention the Christion Jones’ fumble that ultimately ended up sealing Alabama’s fate. Special teams needs some work.
Verne says it's time for "Pat Griffin"....what?

Waiting on CBS crew to decide if that is really a field goal.

They pay Gary Danielson money to talk about football on tv.

My personal favorite part of CBS games is seeing the spite and hatred for Uncle Verne and Aunt Gary. Don’t get me wrong, I totally agree. I just have given up on trying to get CBS making a change because they obviously aren’t listening. Why do you think they keep playing Florida-Georgia Line every Saturday?
I’m sure you all know what I’m referencing here based on these tweets. Kenyan Drake was injured badly during the game. He was airlifted to Birmingham for a lower leg injury, though we aren’t sure why. But solely based on the look of the injury, this one may be season-ending, at best. Twitter was heavy with #PrayersForKenyanDrake, which trended on Twitter a little bit as well.
Would the #OleMissStudent section please STOP using the F word! You sound ridiculous & are embarrassing everyone in the stands & at OleMiss

You tell em, Mrs. Tuohy. A few more, miscellaneous tweets:
You know your team is good when every loss is considered an upset. We haven't been the underdog in 5 years. #RollTideForever

(By the way, you are totally rational if you want to blame Katy Perry for the loss)
College football is better when the Mississippi schools are good because that means we get to hear Lou Holtz try to say "Mississippi."

Tweet of the Week
I'm pretty sure the BCS computer is sitting on a beach in Mexico right now drinking a Corona and thinking, "Not my problem."

That playoff committee is going to have a fun time deciding the best four teams if every Saturday ends up like this.
Bonus Tweets
Cause you know what makes you feel better after your team has lost? Laughing at other team’s problems.
If Auburn gets by LSU, GameDay should head a little west to Starkville next week. ... Christopher Walken guest picker. "More Cowbell."

PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN GAMEDAY, ONLY YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
#LSU will probably fly Les Miles to Michigan themselves after tonight. #LSUvsAUB
— Maybe: Jane (@Because_Jane) October 5, 2014
Michigan right now would pay anything to have Les Miles just immediately leave and take over for Brady Hoke.
I stayed around and watched this heinous football game, but Florida’s drunk victory formation made it worth it almost.
