Alabama DB Eddie Jackson calls for fan to remove Bama jersey from TAMU statue
A prank by some Alabama fans ahead of the Texas A&M game isn’t going over well with one Crimson Tide player.
A photo of an Alabama jersey on the Aggie yell leader statue outside Kyle Field was making the rounds on Twitter Monday morning:

Alabama safety Eddie Jackson, however, doesn’t approve of the hijinks. The tweet has been deleted, but here’s the screenshot:
The No. 1 Crimson Tide and the No. 6 Aggies, the SEC’s two remaining undefeated teams, meet Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Tuscaloosa.
Who cares?
Yeah, these antics are minor and not damaging. I don’t think most fans mind some harmless humor.
We do. That’s how UT rolls. Not Bama.
Yeah because bama fans are stuck up pricks
Grammar aside, Eddie says “we do it in class” and Scarbrough raises his hand.
Lol. I see what you did there.
UTK and Bama have the same ACT score for admissions. What were you saying again?
Geaux Tigers!!
Is he saying they put a Bama jersey on an A&M guy in class? I think his teachers are failing him.
Sounds like a typical LSU fan. Not being able to read and understand a post. He simply meant to take the jersey down not put the jersey up saying its “classy”. He’s saying that Alabama Athletics have more class then that and by fans doing that it doesn’t show our class.. Get it now?? Sound like your teachers failed you honestly.. Lol
I knew what he meant. I surely don’t take it as an insult that I struggle understanding broken English. Seems to come natural for some.
Twitter’s character limit causes broken English. Everyone sounds bad on Twitter. Eddie got his point across.
Does, however, speak corn doggerel.
And that, my friends, adds to the large amount of evidence proving why LSUMC didn’t exceed 9th grade…
LSUMC= Louisiana Sucker with Underachieving Mental Capacity
You guys are defending a guy that can’t speak English, and that makes me the dumb guy? What morons. It doesn’t matter how many stupid people gang up on the smarter guy, the dumb ones are still dumb. You guys know stupid. Good for you. “We do it in class”. Smarter people do it with class. I wouldn’t expect any of you to get it. Too funny.
It doesn’t matter how someone “does” it. It was the fact that you can’t understand context-whether it be the character limit on social media, or his actual message he was trying to convey.
That will forever immortalize you in the mental midget hall of fame.
LSUMC….stop while you’re behind…
A LSU fan trying to be smart…
Eddie Jackson will make more money in a year than you will make your entire life
Have you ever spoken to Eddie, or seen an interview with him, or read his writing outside of a medium in which literally millions of people write in a similar fashion?
Twitter is broken English by design, and even a Nobel winner in literature probably wouldn’t have written any differently.
It seems to me that you just want to feed your own views on how certain people speak. “Seems to come natural for some” sounds like you just prefer a whiter style of English.
I’m sorry. Stupid doesn’t come naturally to me. I can see it does for you. That’s not really a good thing, but I wouldn’t expect you to understand.
Yes, stupid doesn’t come naturally for you…nothing does.
You’re too stupid to understand stupid?
No you’re a literal idiot. You probably smell like corndogs and piss. You can’t understand simple text and question a statement that is easily understood by every other individual in the comments. You are ignorant and now trying to defend yourself because you can’t seem to read and comprehend what he said. Just stop you’re making yourself look even more like a generic LSU fan lol.
Wow. You guys are sure trying hard with this one. I love it. Broken English is the future. Swell.
Well since we are on the subject of broken English. Relevant to correct grammatical syntax, simply writing “swell” and ending with a period is not a complete sentence; it’s a fragment.
Now, do you still want to ride that “broken English” train?
Lmao
I believe his tweet did have to do with class, but that’s a concept most “fan”antics don’t or won’t get in this or any other part of the country. Especially when most of them never went to one at the school they root for, or had any to start with. They seem to like to pee on stuff, though.
I doubt you attended any school based on your post.
85%…you’re wasting your time Eddie.
As 85% of Bama fans didn’t go to school there?
^ Truth!
Kid: “Where we goin today pawl?”
Grandpa: “To Walmark ta grav sum mo’ tide shirts”
Lol
Some gonna love him, some gonna hate him… But I guess Eddie realized (or someone told him) that that sort of thing has been going on for years and really doesn’t have anything to do with class. Otherwise, why he delete th comment?
Because they don’t wan’t to motivate A&M more than the team already is….
You guys didn’t seem to motivated in double o/t with tenn.
We won, I think we were….
Attending class and learning something in class are quite different as one should know before going to class. Actually having class is an acquired attribute notwithstanding one’s perceived educational status. That being said, it is similar to understanding the meaning of post. Now in LSU land, it could mean lamp post, outpost, or compost. They might not be able to differentiate. “Shoot far, Paw, I thank we mite be own to Sumpin! “
I’m afraid that comment is beneath us.
Glad that’s settled. Now, back to the original story. I don’t think it’s a big deal. I personally think that’s what makes college football great. I didn’t have a problem with the Tennessee flag on the Saban statue, and I don’t have a problem with this. If someone were to throw paint on it, or somehow damage it, of course that would cross the line.
A little harmless humor makes it fun. People today get their panties in a wad over the stupidest things. If you’re going to take the time to care about something, care about something worth caring about. I mean, it’s not like they killed some famous trees!
Just to stir that pot a little, how many dead trees go into a package of toilet paper? It’s all fun ‘n games till somebody sets fire to it.
After all, it’s just some trees.
Well I’m certainly not about to wipe my ass with poisoned tree toilet paper.
Well said.
