Alabama, LSU stars exchange verbal blows on Twitter

June 11, 2012 Football, Pop Culture 12 Comments

We are all witnesses

On the day we learn that sports fans are getting more of their sports coverage through social media than ever before, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron and LSU’s defensive playmaker Tyran Mathieu showed us why being on Twitter can be awesome. The two players went back and forth briefly Monday, setting the tone for a game that will not take place until November. McCarron probably got the last laugh this time, but should he be treating the king with a little more respect?

Bring it on.


Alabama, LSU stars begin smack talk

LSU’s defensive star Tyran Mathieu and Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron are in mid-season form when it comes to hyping a match-up that is not scheduled for another five months. The two exchanged tweets on Monday, getting us all ready for the next installment in this rivalry in the SEC.

From what we can tell, the fun started when Mathieu started tweeting some self-motivational commentary, warning opposing quarterbacks what he will be doing this season.
try throwing a corner route or a cross country on me this year!!! i’ll be waiting!!!KING Mathieu
The Crimson Tide quarterback had a comment for that…
U can talk ab stopping something.. But actions speak louder than words. Remember that. #neworleans #14AJ McCarron
@Hunna_8 lol bro must think we r scared over here. We can do it againAJ McCarron
The two SEC players apparently sparred a little bit more on Twitter, but at the time of this story Mathieu appeared to have deleted some of his tweets. Fortunately AL.com made sure to quote Mathieu’s response
RT @TM7_ERA: @10AJMcCarron you have 1,THE school has 14! you play your part well thanks to great coaching! but anyways we’ll talk nov 3rd!”
McCarron continued…
@TM7_Era Ur right the TEAM.. That’s how we play as a TEAM.. We stick together through our losses and wins. #thatswhatmakesusgreat #wehave14AJ McCarron
At this point Mathieu seemed to end his side of the exchange with an open tweet pointing to the initial point spreads for games this season…
highly favored in DEATH VALLEY!KING Mathieu
McCarron then steps aside and tells Alabama fans they will focus on taking care of business on the field, rather than on Twitter.
Bama fans don’t talk anymore ab it. Let’s just sit back quietly and wait our turn. Y’all know the date. It’s comin. #november3rd #bamanationAJ McCarron
@TheKennyBell7 let’s get it bro this should fuel everything and more nowAJ McCarron
@_Elvis_Freshley @deuce_dwhite @nickperry_27 @thekennybell7 @jonessboyy22 we don’t back down from a challenge.. Play our game #legendaryAJ McCarron
At the least, we got a little glimpse in to the Alabama-LSU rivalry today on Twitter, and that’s a good thing. November, let alone September, can not get here soon enough.

lol, at joe4bama all he was doing was taking was taking after bama fans. bama fans are the king of the smack talk and really are equal oppurtunity yakkers, they will go after any team even if they have not played them in a long time. you all talk about acting like a champion but you cant seem to do it. maybe it is a feeling that bama just isnt that good.

I wish Saban would make AJ run laps until he pukes (and get this ridiculous behavior under control). All it is a high-end form of ghetto trash talking, which I would expect from Mathieu, but not McCarran. It starts out "fun"...next thing you know some has shot someone (ask Auburn). Come on AJ, you are wearing an Alabama helmet....ACT like you deserve it!
