Nick Saban… I owe you an apology. I wasn’t aware of your sport.
Imagine it or not, it’s been nearly two months since Jake Paul and Mike Tyson “fought” one another and Sydney Thomas had her star-making second. The thousands and thousands of people who tuned into Netflix to see the spectacle of a YouTuber-turned-boxer tackle a 58-year-old within the boxing ring ended up realizing the true star of the night time wasn’t a boxer. It was one of many ring ladies.
How might we have now seen that coming although? The hype earlier than the combat was via the roof, as many had been hoping “Iron Mike” might flip again the clock and present the world why he was thought of the baddest man alive.
As a substitute, Mike Tyson confirmed each his age and his ass:

Guess you had nearly forgotten about that, didn’t you? You’re welcome.
Aside from Mike Tyson scarring folks for all times along with his naked ass, the opposite memorable second from the night time belonged to Sydney Thomas. One might make a really cheap argument that the ring lady stole the throughout combat night time. The 21-year-old began popping up throughout social media even because the occasion was nonetheless unfolding, and Thomas has completed an incredible job of extending her 15-minutes-of-fame by staying energetic on-line ever since.
Sydney Thomas just lately made headlines when she shared on the Like a Farmer podcast with Pat Spinosa that an SEC coach had snuck into her DM’s shortly after the Paul-Tyson combat. Thomas revealed that an unnamed coach seemingly came upon she was a College of Alabama grad, and despatched her a becoming message via social media:
“It was from one other SEC soccer workforce coach. And so they simply DM’d me, ‘Roll Tide.’ So I’m not going to say what coach it was, however they’re an Alabama fan, now a minimum of. We’ll let everybody else determine that out for themselves, who it was.”
@pat_spinosa Who was the coach? #sydneythomas #collegefootball #dms #viralvideo #fyp ♬ authentic sound – Pat Spinosa
Which SEC coach might have despatched her a message? Many individuals had been fast to imagine that it was Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. I’ve even seen a few pictures on-line (none confirmed to be actual) that appeared to point out the “Roll Tide” from Kiffin’s social media deal with within the direct messages of Sydney Thomas. However would that actually be applicable for the top coach of Ole Miss to ship “Roll Tide” in a shoot-your-shot form of manner? The world may by no means know.
All we do know is that Sydney Thomas posted an image right now with the GOAT of faculty soccer: Nick Saban. May this have been sitting proper in entrance of us the entire time? Somebody slid into her DM’s and mentioned, “Roll Tide.” Wouldn’t it’s becoming for it to be the previous head coach of the Crimson Tide. She mentioned an SEC coach, however didn’t make clear if it was a former a present one.
That’s all reckless hypothesis although. The one proof we do have is that this image, which Sydney Thomas captioned:
“Out on the course right now with the GOAT.”

Now to be clear, Nick Saban is fortunately married, and has been for over 52 years. The previous soccer coach talks extremely of her endlessly, and there’s even some that say he stepped away from teaching altogether to be along with his spouse extra. In any case, he spent a few years absolutely invested in being the most effective school soccer coach he could possibly be – which translated to seven nationwide championships.
However you know the way social media goes. The web noticed this image and so they began operating with the concept Saban was the one which despatched the “Roll Tide” DM.
I’m glad everyone seems to be having enjoyable with it, however I’m Germ-X p.c positive (99.9%) that Nick Saban doesn’t know the very first thing about social media:
Nicely now we all know concerning the DM scenario
