And now this….

Read the “proof”, had drinks poured on him during the celebration and pandemonium. I imagine drinks went up in the air and came down on him. If he’s in the friends and family section as it said, there is no way coaches/players families are deliberately pouring drinks on anyone, especially not a disabled father of one of our own coaches.

Yup. Seeing how close he is to the wall leads one to believe it was an unfortunate accident in the midst of the celebration.

Again, they keep pushing this stuff out with literally no evidence.

Meanwhile, they have an active player on camera assaulting two people postgame.

Let them keep making crap up.

With all the phones out recording, you'd think somebody caught something.

Exactly. If society is to the point that someone will turn the phone on and record someone beat within an inch of their life chances are that would have been the same case here. Hopefully this is not true.

His statement:

"I don't advocate violence but I had someone threw their drink all over me at the end of the game. I don't know if it was meant for me or my family because we were sitting in the Tennessee section with Bama gear on. But the tickets were compliments of my son Roman who's the Tennessee staff. A big " Thank You " to the usher who escorted us out."

Agree with above posters. This was most likely unintentional. During the immediate post game jubilation this could have happened to anybody.

When Tennessee fans are really beaten up in Tuscaloosa in 2023(After another probable Tennessee victory) the Alabama fans will quote these lying false stories of abuse at Neyland Stadium as the reason.

 

[Hacksaw]

I'm calling BS on this story. I think it's possible that something happened. Drinks get spilled during celebrations in moments like this. I once had the contents of a large drinking cup dumped down the back of my shirt by a Japanese businessman celebrating a game-winning homerun at a baseball game in Yokohama. I didn't get angry. It happens. The writer even admits that this happened during a state of "pandemonium".

Notice that in Goode's account, which seems very edited (i.e., no other context), "someone threw their drink" all over him. But the writer of the article says in the previous paragraph that he "had drinks [plural] poured all over him." Small discrepancies like this are often signs of a story that is being crafted to mislead. Also, the quote by Goode ends with an incomplete sentence, "I don't know if it was..." Could the next word have been "intentional"? Why would the rest of this sentence (whatever it was) be omitted from the story?

Bama fans are hurt and they are acting like some of our fans have acted in years-past. It is so nice to be on the other side of this again!

I mean you’re going to have some idiots no matter where you’re at with over 100K grouped together. I sit right beside the stairs and every game there are countless drunks tripping, spilling their beer everywhere and even slipping and sitting in the beer. This one guy accidentally spilled his entire $14 beer can all over the guy in front of him during the Bama game. I know they make a killing off alcohol sales, but it isn’t needed in college athletics

I heard Jaylen Hyatt should have been called for offsides, because he reached across the scrimmage line and tied Hellams shoelaces together when nobody was looking, before the snap, not once but 5 times.

Gaulden was showing respect. Who doesn’t want to be told and shown that they are number one.

 

[Volador]

We've not been here at the mountain top for a long time. It's lonely up here. Everyone is looking up and trying to figure out why we are here and they are there. The longer we stay here, the more shots across the bow we will have to endure. Let's do it with class everyone.

[kcvols1]

Oh believe me, I live in Birmingham amongst these folks. I’ve heard the full list of excuses and supposed mistreatment’s from UT fans and the refs.

I wonder if this is similar to how the piss balloon myth got started?

I’ve heard that one about Gainesville, Baton Rouge, Athens, and Auburn.

Best to believe none of it.

 

[volcop1]

Knuckleheads abound in all fanbases…some predipositioned to bad behavior, and some a little to liberally imbibed, especially at a night game. The world is lamentably less polite and friendly than in past generations.

Examples like this can doubtless be found at nearly every stadium especially during a heated rivalry game. This is not a statement meant to diminish the act…honestly it makes me sick at the state of the world. Wrong is wrong, and I would like to think our fans are above it…I know others are not, but that’s no excuse. We’ve got to do better.

Alabama fans aren't exactly angels either no matter what they say

 

[Dadof2Vols]

I believe it was not intentional. There was so much stuff that night that got spilled that the first thing I did that night is to take a shower to get the beer off me and the stink of the Alabama fan that sat beside me(not with me).

BTW…the most disrespectful people in section B that I saw were the three redneck Alabama fans two rows behind me that taunted the Tennessee fans in front of them all game until the final clock hit 00 and then they left quickly.

I don’t disagree and said as much.

And I guarantee that it did happen to a lot of folks clad in orange and white, too. I don't see where this poster has beef with the Tennessee fans generally. He almost surely didn't like getting splashed with beer. I doubt any of the hundreds of similarly doused people in the stands actually were happy about it. No one likely picked these folks out intentionally, but if someone actually did, I (and the great majority of UT fans) would think the perpetrators suck. But, it's not like visiting fans have an awning and a red carpet rolled out for them in places like Alabama, Florida or LSU. Projectiles, both liquid and solid, are a known risk of live attendance. Go Vols!

The University of Alabama is to the college football world what the stereotypical millennial is to the workplace.....never look in the mirror for a problem always some outside unfairness causing their woes...

I remember FSU fans telling me about getting hit by cups of piss at the Orange Bowl during the Jimmy Johnson-Dennis Erickson Era.

 

[VolRage]

In before all the anecdotes of Bama and other fans doing despicable things to us in the stands.

If the story of this Bama fan is true, it is despicable behavior. There is no place for it. And UT fans should police other badly behaving UT fans.

If the opposing fan starts it then they deserve what they get and I let it ride. Rarely have I ever had to address our fans for being overly disrespectful but it’s happened. I don’t know that this incident really happened but if it did then it’s disgusting.

I remember a photo that was posted on the old Gridscape site of an older Georgia fan surrounded by 5 or 6 UT fans. You could tell the Georgia fan was seriously scared. That photo made my blood boil. I hate Georgia like I do Bama but I won’t allow an opposing fan to be abused if they did nothing to deserve it other than wear Bulldog or Bama clothing.

MAybe we should for an October 15th committee to handle all the ways we hurt the bummers little feelings

 

[BowlBrother85]

There's a difference between getting hit by drinks that are flying in celebration of a game winning field goal, and having drinks poured on you by Tennessee fans. It may have been caused by an overly-rowdy fan(s), but I don't believe it was a deliberate act.

As for Saban's daughter getting spit on? That's just not true.

I agree with all of this ... and I would like to add that I find it suspicious that these types of incidents are only reported by visiting fans, after their team loses. Does anyone remember Alabama fans complaining about their (alleged) mistreatment in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 or 2018 when they were beating the hell out of us? I think it's a case of sour grapes.

 

[McDad]

Why? Policing other people only applies to your kids and only up until theyre 18.
Even the police can't police other people

But using your logic how do we police your crappy post?
Don't you have a right to post whatever drivel you call a thought?
Why do you get to do this but others need to be policed?
If they hurt or harmed another how does that affect you?
That's on them AND between them and the offended party

Or are you that shallow that others people's generic opinion about tn fans as a whole somehow affects you?

Since when did people become so pu$$y and weak that bad behavior has to be "banned"?
It's part of life. Always has been. Always will be.

Because some people are too stupid to police themselves. Especially drunk morons.

I draw the line with throwing things, putting hands on people, and acting like an arse.

Our program is better than the worst fans.

 

[65YearsAVol]

i call complete BS on that

 

[DaddyChad]

No idea what caused this to happen or if it even happened in the first place. A spilled drink isn’t particularly malicious if that’s the case, a thrown drink usually would be accompanied with some other action of malice. If someone intentionally did throw a drink on him I hope they’re punished appropriately.

Shame on the fan in the wheelchair for starting it. I guess.
