While Alabama is facing Cincinnati in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl, it looks like some fans are having some fun off the field.
Somehow, according to The Athletic’s Alabama beat writer Aaron Suttles, some individuals were able to acquire the number to the phone in the AT&T Stadium press box and is making prank calls, one pretending to be Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell and another insulting Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
Someone has gotten the phone number to the press box and keeps calling. One said he was Luke Fickell and Alabama was dumb to run slants against the Cincy secondary. The other caller called Nick Saban some not nice names.

How the person in question was able to get a hold of the number is unknown, but AT&T Stadium staff may want to do a better job in the future making sure that information doesn’t get in the wrong hands.
The Crimson Tide have dominated the Bearcats in the 1st half, tacking on a 44-yard Ja’Corey Brooks touchdown catch late in the 2nd quarter to pull ahead 17-3.
