Biggest mistake of Borne’s career...

And I’m sure he was told to say it, but you’ve got to ignore that order...

2014 Alabama, LSU takes the 13-10 lead with 0:50 left in the game, and he said not once, but two different times for fans to stay off of the field after the game. Bama marches right down the field and ties the game only to beat us in OT.

Yup I remember that vividly. Couldn’t believe he was saying it. Jaw was dropped.

Then a few months later, he said to stay off the court when we were beating #1 Kentucky late in the game. They took the lead thereafter, and Hornsby missed at the buzzer. 2 HUGE jinxes within 3 months. Unbelievable.

I remember this well. You could legitimately make an argument he should have been fired for this nonsense

You people don’t realize he’s being told to make those announcements, right? Pretty much anything not having to do with play on the field is scripted for a PA announced. In the case of crowd control, someone tells him to make an announcement to stay off the field, don’t throw objects, etc.

I’m not Borne’s biggest fan, and I prefer the late Sid Crocker. But to blame him for Alabama in 2014 is absurd.

Educate yourselves before you start blaming someone for simply being the messenger.

Geez, who else are we firing because of the Ucla loss? Maybe we should replace all of the workers at Tiger Stadium?

I mean, replacing Aramark wouldn’t be bad.

Sid Crocker was incredible. My best friend in high school and I used to imitate him. Not just a tremendous public address announcer for Tiger football, but very good on television as well in the 1960's and 1970's.

I go back to Sid Crocker. I remember hearing, "Dr. # 345..Dr. # 345" and asking my dad what does that mean?
He said either another drunk fell on the way to take a piss or another Ole Miss fan just got his assw wipped!"

He literally NEVER SHUTS UP!!! Announcements after announcements about crap that nobody cares about like women's soccer etc...

Price Carried...
Cowboys penalized 10 yards for holding
That's the half

Keep it simple
