Alabama PA announcer fired..

[GiveHimSIX!!!]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama has fired an employee who played songs aimed at Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton before the Iron Bowl.

University spokeswoman Debbie Lane said Monday that the part-time staffer was fired for the unauthorized songs. "Take the Money and Run" and "Son of a Preacher Man" were played while Newton and the Tigers warmed up.

The NCAA has been investigating allegations that Newton's father, a pastor, solicited $180,000 from Mississippi State during recruiting.

Lane said in a statement that all music and videos played in the stadium before and during games have to be approved by a senior athletic administrator. She said the staffer -- who was not named -- didn't get those songs cleared.

The guy shouldn't have gotten fired.

He should have gotten a pay raise and full time employment.

Agreed. That is solid tunage in my book.

 

[Cyclopskiller]

if all was fair in this world $cam newton would have been ineligible anyhow and this poor guy would still have his job. That's not right he was given his walking papers and Newton keeps playing!

Truth. I must have missed the part of a rivalry where we are concerned about the other player's feelings.

Solid gamesmanship IMHO.

It would really be interesting to know what the guys next job is, and who he is working for....

 

[VolsFanRJ]

Seriously, that's hilarious. Kudos to the guy.

Haha...Hope it was worth it since they lost the game on Cam's heroics.

Are they going to punish the student section for throwing fake $100 bills at Newton?

I read on twitter that Clay Travis is trying to get a hold of him for a job.

 

[GreveHaller]

Almost as good as the Minnesota band playing Rocky Top after beating Bama in the MCB. Almost.

I wonder if it was a student employee? I think it's hilarious, can't believe they fired him.
