Alabama Security Trained To Stop Court Storming: VIDEO
Alabama is apparently willing to go to great lengths to stop court storming.
The Crimson Tide lost to Tennessee over the weekend in what was a major SEC conference game. Going into the matchup, there was speculation about whether or not Alabama students would storm the court if the team successfully knocked off the fourth-ranked Volunteers.
It didn’t happen because Tennessee controlled and beat the Tide, but what would have occurred if Alabama had one? Turns out security was training like they were Navy SEALs or Army Rangers about to do a hit.
The SEC Network shared absolutely hilarious footage of security training to quickly get on the court and get a rope up to prevent a court storming.
Watch the awesome video below, and let me know your reactions at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
I love every single thing about this video. The government should have called these guys to get bin Laden instead of SEAL Team 6. Look at the energy, passion, commitment to the job, speed and intensity.
Are these people security guards making probably $10 an hour or Army Rangers getting ready to roll a target? Practice makes perfect, and Alabama legit had security getting in reps to stop court storming.
I hate court storming. It’s a loser mentality and it shouldn’t be promoted. You’re just telling the world you don’t expect to win whenever you do it.

However, having security train to stop it is beyond dumb. What’s going to happen if students just go under the rope? Is security going to start tossing tear gas onto the court? Flash-bangs?
Again, court storming shouldn’t be promoted because this is America and we don’t tolerate loser mentalities in this country. However, the idea that security is going to very literally hold the line against thousands of students is hilarious.
It reminds me of when that Ole Miss security guard JACKED UP a female fan who ran onto the field during a storming.
Speed, surprise and violence of action. The three core pillars for any direct action unit……and security at Alabama basketball games. It’s too bad Alabama got beat because I need to know what would have happened like I need air in my lungs. Let me know what you think about this absurdity at David.Hookstead@Outkick.com.
Governor Kay Ivey:
“God bless our President, First Lady and the men and women in law enforcement. Let us pray for our leaders each and every day.”
Representative Barry Moore:
“They’ve told countless lies about him.
They’ve tried to bankrupt him.
They’ve come after his family.
They’ve tried to put him in prison.
They’ve tried to assasinate him – three times.
And yet, President Trump continues to fight for the American people.
We need to get on our knees and pray for him and our country.”
Senator Tommy Tuberville:
“A lunatic just tried to take out President Trump AGAIN.
The demonization of the President and Republicans needs to end.
Praying for our President and our country.”
Congressman Gary Palmer:
“I’m very thankful for the swift action of the Secret Service and that the President and no one at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was injured.
Considering this is the third attempt on the President’s life, last year’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the 2017 Congressional baseball shooting, it’s clear that our nation is in a cultural and political crisis.
We should all be praying for the healing of our nation and for the return of civil discourse.”
Senator Katie Britt:
“Wesley and I are praying for the safety of the President, the First Lady, and all those attending the White House Correspondents dinner. Grateful for the brave men and women in uniform working to keep everyone safe.”
Well that’s a wrap! Despite all of the hand-wringing, Alabama finished with 10 total players drafted, behind only Ohio State (11) for the most in college football. On top of that, the Tide was the only SEC school with multiple first round draft picks. If you missed any of them, here is the recap:
Round 1, pick 12 – OT Kadyn Proctor – Miami Dolphins

Round 1, pick 13 – QB Ty Simpson – L.A. Rams
Round 2, pick 47 – WR Germie Bernard – Pittsburgh Steelers
Round 4, pick 137 – DL LT Overton – Dallas Cowboys
Round 5, pick 146 – C Parker Brailsford – Cleveland Browns
Round 5, pick 149 – LB Justin Jefferson – Cleveland Browns
Round 5, pick 173 – TE Josh Cuevas – Baltimore Ravens
Round 6, pick 201 – CB Domani Jackson – Green Bay Packers
Round 7, pick 232 – DT Tim Keenan – L.A. Rams
Round 7, pick 245 – RB Jam Miller – New England Patriots
All in all, it was a big day three for Alabama after a slow day two.
With the draft over, the undrafted free agent frenzy begins (seriously, if you think the draft is crazy, some the stories I’ve heard from NFL GMs about what happens right after it trying to convince all of the UDFAs to go places are pure chaos). Thus far, here’s the Alabama players who went out for the draft and didn’t get drafted, but have signed on with NFL squads:

OL Jaeden Roberts – Philadelphia Eagles
LB Deontae Lawson – Philadelphia Eagles
LB Nikhai Hill-Green – L.A. Rams
OL Kam Dewberry – Atlanta Falcons
DB DaShawn Jones – New Orleans Saints
So far, OL Geno VanDeMark, punter Blake Doud, running back Dre Washington, and tight end Brody Dalton are still looking for teams. I think VanDeMark will likely find his way onto a team, but the other three probably will not.
It was also a decent day for some former Tide players. who transferred elsewhere in their careers:
-
S – Caleb Downs (Ohio State) – 1st round, pick 11 – Dallas Cowboys
-
WR- Kendrick Law (Kentucky) – 5th round, pick 168 – Detroit Lions
And that’s pretty much it for this year! Hopefully we will see many of these names popping up across the NFL for years to come. Roll Tide to all!
GREEN BAY (WLUK) — Needing to add depth to the cornerback position the Packers drafted South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday and Saturday they added another player to the position.
