Alabama has found a lot of joy in rubbing salt in the wound of Auburn fans in the aftermath of the Crimson Tide's 96-92 win over the Tigers on the road on Saturday.
First, it was a knife-turning comment by Nate Oats about fans being quiet as they exited following Alabama's second straight win in Neville Arena. Now, it's a hilarious troll with an Auburn t-shirt.
As Oats exited the floor after Alabama's win, some ultra-classy Auburn fans screamed some truly vile stuff at him, and one even hurled a hideous orange t-shirt at him. Oats didn't skip a beat, picked up the t-shirt, and kept it moving into the tunnel.

What Alabama has now done with that t-shirt is an all-timer.
Oats and the entire team signed the t-shirt, with the 96-92 score featured prominently in the middle, and now Yea-Alabama is auctioning it off on the website for one lucky fan to own a piece of Iron Bowl of Basketball history:
Hey Auburn, you dropped something…

🚩This exclusive memorabilia from Saturday’s game, signed by Coach Oats & the team, is now LIVE for auction at https://t.co/fYy6qTxtK9 pic.twitter.com/8IrMdJSJ9m
Bidding ends Thursday at noon, and the high bid is already up to $1300.00, as of Tuesday morning.
The poor Auburn fan who hurled that t-shirt just contributed a four-figure donation to Alabama basketball's NIL fund.
Alabama turns Auburn fan's frustration into profitable troll
Auburn fans just can't seem to help themselves when they are on the losing end of results at home. They've just got to throw stuff at players, coaches, or officials. It's just different down there, our meek Tide minds just wouldn't understand it.
An Auburn fan was caught on camera attempting - and hilariously failing - to dump water on an official after the Tigers' controversial (yet correct) home loss to Texas A&M earlier in SEC play.
When Mark Sears hit the buzzer beater in Neville Arena last year to lift Alabama to a win over Auburn on Senior Day for the Tigers, fans chunked towels and water bottles at Alabama's players as they celebrated.
You'd think that fanbase would be accustomed to losing, considering how bad Auburn basketball has historically been.
But the vast majority of them are front-runners who just started following basketball in 2019.
On behalf of Alabama fans, we thank you for your NIL contribution, random Auburn crybaby.
