Alabama humorously trolls Arkansas in Pig Latin after win to clinch SEC West

Alabama is 2 days on the other side of its win over Arkansas to win the SEC West. And the clever minds on the Tide’s social media department decided to have a little fun with it.
Nick Saban’s team is essentially one you can pencil in as division champions year in and year out: with Saturday’s victory over the Razorbacks, it made it 7 times in the last 10 years that the Crimson Tide has been the West’s representative in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. They may have had to sweat it out a bit against a resurgent Arkansas team, but in the end they found themselves in the win column.
As you can see, the program took the opportunity to take to Twitter to troll the Hogs with a special message in Pig Latin, which you can see below:

There’s some that feel that if the Tide take care of business against Auburn in Saturday’s Iron Bowl and play No. 1 Georgia to a close loss in Atlanta on Dec. 4 that they could still sneak into the College Football Playoff. So while they enjoyed a moment of levity on social media, there’s still serious work to be done on the gridiron.
