SEC! SEC! SEC!
What if I told you a grown South Carolina Cocks fan went after Bama outside linebacker Christian Miller, who missed 10 games this season with a biceps tear only to return for the final three games and got a sack in the national title game against Georgia, on Twitter and it turned into a war of words tonight? Of course you’d believe me, it’s the SEC where it doesn’t matter how old you are, you go after college kids on Twitter the same as you would on Finebaum’s show.
The difference in 2018 is that the college athletes can fight back this time of year because Saban has pulled back on social media bans.
Enter Christian Miller:

Miller wasn’t done:
It’s called searching for pics & videos from the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP parade that me and all these kick ass fans just celebrated 😉. I’m a starter but was injured.. wouldn’t change my choice if I could go back either! 2x Champion and working on Masters for FREE. I got it made 😂

Here’s the thing that you have to respect out of ForChavis: the guy doesn’t take back anything. Doesn’t delete tweets. He let’s it fly & doesn’t even get into much of a back and forth with the Bama fans who raced in to get a word in edge wise.
From my experience in SEC territory, this is just pretty much common practice. PAWWLLLLLL has turned into a millionaire off of stuff just like this. Like I said, the difference here is that Alabama players are able to fight back because it’s January. I’m not sure when the social media ban goes back into place. Maybe during spring camp. All I know is that Bama football players have been very active over the last couple weeks compared to during the season when they’re super busy.
Saban said a couple years ago about social media:
“We don’t have rules that people can’t use Twitter,” Saban said Friday before accepting the MacArthur Bowl championship trophy in Atlanta. “We just want people to be responsible. We certainly don’t want them to do anything that’s going to affect themselves in an adverse way or affect our program, our university or our team in an adverse way.”
In other words, Miller’s all good here. Just some fun banter.
