Ohio State walk-on provides Alabama more motivation than Nick Saban ever could
Playing in the upcoming College Football Playoff National Championship Game, Alabama likely didn’t need any extra motivation heading into the showdown with Ohio State.
Either way, walk-on long snapper Roen McCullough went out of his way to provide some bulletin board material for the Crimson Tide.
In an Instagram story, the walk-on long snapper shared a picture of himself hugging a trash can on the Ohio State practice field with the caption: “Me and Bama getting to know each other.”
Yikes.

While he would never acknowledge this, Nick Saban has to appreciate McCullough sharing this post.
It’s doubtful Alabama’s coach could say anything to fire up his team more than the Buckeye long snapper likely did with this post.
Its one thing if an All-American talks trash, but a walk on . . . come on man . . . Really?
Yeah, I’m not seeing it. The guy is a little weird but not very inspiring.
And a long snapper at that.
I dont get this kind of talk no matter who it is. Trash talk is pretty common but trashing another part of the country is getting pretty old. But, at any rate, thanks for the inspiration punk.
I cannot imagine anyone directly connected to The BAMA Football team, especially a player or coach, stooping to even consider a response to this little smiling, cutie pies weak post.
Poor little feller looks like he is trying to make himself relevant with his post. He is going to have to score points, or make a point saving tackle, for that to happen.
Long snappers do neither. They even have special rules that a player can not lineup over them or hit them.
Well duh. That is why he needed to reach for relevance on Instagram.
LOL! That is also why he can talk trash. He doesn’t have to worry about getting hit. Unless, as was mentioned below, he chases down field after a punt.
He doesn’t have to worry about getting hit because he isn’t even getting on the field. And that is as much as anything why he will only get noticed by posting bulletin board material on Instagram.
See. You & I would never have thought about him, if he had not made his post.
Now you know why he is third string!!! Karma baby, karma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well the only thing I see done right in this article is the fact there is no byline. I wouldn’t want anyone knowing I wrote this fluff piece either. Why in God’s name would anyone on the Alabama football team give a DARN what anyone says going into this game? If you need someone from Ohio State to say or do something to motivate you while playing for the national championship, you are playing for the wrong school. SMDH
Totally agree.
Easy to be mouthy when you play a position that has specific rules against you getting hit.
Unless you decide to get ambitious and decide to sprint down on punt coverage. Then, look out!
There is that :).
It’s going to be especially awkward when it comes out that part of his walk-on agreement with the team is emptying the trash cans after practices.
Nice!
Also those shorts and yoga pants are simply FABULOUS
Don’t forget the “no socks” look.
Congrats y’all have stopped down to making fun of how a college kid dresses. Athletes wear those pants under shorts all the time, just watch some basketball and you’ll see it. It would be unfashionable to wear socks that showed with athletic wear like that. Times they are a changing folks….
Stooped**
To die for.
That’s not really talking trash, it’s holding up trash. Nothing to see here.
It’s the national championship game, everyone is already as motivated at they can be. “Bulletin board” material is just a media thing. Side note, the state of Alabama really is trash though.

Hey Maybe we should get our long snapper Thomas Fletcher who is the best in the country by the way to send some trash talking to that doofus. Not like anybody else is gonna react to this walk on loser. if you want a reaction out of the crimson tide Ohio state’s got it. Use it as motivation.
This wreaks of ‘I need clicks’.
Sometimes it’s worth the 15 yards just to bust them a good one.
Pretty funny. I guess he’s looking for attention.
“We’ll show that long snapper!” – Probably not Alabama.
OSU players may have already dealt with this privately…
Another Dumb Bucknut
Buttguy. The term is Buttguy.
Copyright Infringement: That was butch jones idea!
‘Roen McCullough, Roen McCullough… please report to the 50 yard line with your trashcan so that you can clean up after the University of Alabama’s victory celebration.’
McCullough ended up being as useless in the title game as a bowl of condoms in a Lesbian bar.
