Losing 34-24 to Texas and getting outclassed in most phases of the game was a bad enough look for No. 10 Alabama on Saturday. Then a video surfaced that made some Crimson Tide fans look much, much worse.
One day after Alabama's loss to the Longhorns, a video was posted on social media showing a fan near the sideline at Bryant-Denny Stadium hurling homophobic slurs and racist language at the Texas players. Other fans could be heard joining in, but the one fan was clearly yelling the following:
"You're a f***ing f*****. You guys are all f*****s. Go back to the projects, f*****s.
Texas players X’Avion Brice and Jelani McDonald could both be seen dancing in response to the irate fans in the video.
The University of Alabama released a statement on Tuesday condemning the "vile language" used in the video and promised to eject and potentially ban anyone found to have acted in such a way. However, the school did not indicate it had identified the people in the video.
The full statement:
"We are disgusted by reports of vile language and inappropriate behavior Saturday night. To be clear, we condemn this behavior, and it will not be tolerated in our venues. It is not representative of UA or our values. We expect all attendees to act with class and respect toward others. Fans are strongly encouraged to report issues to our security resources on-site. Gameday and delayed reports are appropriately addressed, and anyone found to be in violation of our rules and expectations is promptly removed and may be banned from future events."
Texas freshman Quintrevion Wisner was also seen in the video standing next to Brice and McDonald. His mother, Angie Wisner, was among the people to respond to the video on Sunday, posting on X that the Texas parents not only dealt with the obscene language, but also had beer cans, water bottles and spit directed at them:
"The fact my son down there and they saying go back to the projects really just saddens my heart that as his mother no matter how old he had to listen to that!
"Love you Son!
"But the parents went through this all night! Beer cans thrown at us, water bottles, spit! Disgrace
Not only did Alabama get outgained by Texas 454-362 at home, the Tide also committed two turnovers— both interceptions by new starting quarterback Jalen Milroe — and got called for 10 penalties worth 90 yards. Texas surged to the win with three straight touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.
It was a rough enough performance, and a watched enough performance, that Alabama got pushed down to No. 10 in AP Poll earlier this week.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
