As you can imagine, the Alabama community is not taking kindly to Tom Brokaw’s remarks during his Ole Miss commencement speech.
Monday afternoon, Crimson Tide OL Alphonse Taylor went on a Brokaw-related Twitter rant. Since Brokaw’s zingers were a hot topic on The Paul Finebaum Show, carried by the SEC Network, Taylor directed his tweets at the show and the channel.

@UofAlabama That clueless rube @tombrokaw may want to do a little research next time. @olemiss is the nation's Fallback School.

The University of Alabama responded to Brokaw earlier Monday.
Now all this story needs is a Lane Kiffin tweet.
