Alabama Football Players Rush to the Hospital Overnight Following Fight [UPDATE]
According to Crimson and White, there was a fight near Alabama’s campus overnight, and a couple gun shots rang out. Here are some details:
Eyewitness photos show a crowd near the corner of University Boulevard and Red Drew Avenue in front of Egan’s Bar following the incident. Emergency responders loaded two men who had been lying on the ground into an ambulance on stretchers at the scene. Police blocked off University Boulevard and Marr’s Spring Road, an on-campus road under half a mile away from where the shots were fired, less than an hour after the shooting.
One of the two men who was lying on the ground appears to be a bouncer. (Here are photos of the crime scene.)
“[Ingram] is a trained fighter and really big guy, and the nurse said when they found him, he was completely unconscious in front of Houndstooth,” Smith said. “He was pretty out of it and we asked him, ‘Do you know what happened to you?’ and he said ‘I don’t know, I don’t know what happened,’” Smith said.
Crimson & White went on to say that football players (linebacker Nico Johnson, pictured above) and coaches appeared at the hospital in the middle of the night, possibly because the other person who was hospitalized was on the team.
It’s unclear who the second person was, but according to a commenter who frequents the often-unreliable message boards, it’s a football player.
More as we get it.
[UPDATE: The Tuscaloosa News has named the football player - receiver DeAndrew White. He's the same player who was mentioned by the message board.]

Love the speculation here.

Suspend all of them the first game!

Tremendous.

Shot to the heart!
Sorry it’s what I thought of when I read that.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Good to see the meathead retard culture of football is alive and well.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:39 AM
The block quote in comment No. 2 is a perfect example of how bad journalism has become, especially on the web. Sure, it sounds reasonable that a player might have been involved or injured, but it’s simply pure speculation. Hell, it could be a coach, or a family member of a player and the coaches are there to support him. But that wouldn’t get the story rolling, so alas, speculate we must.

Looks like the wide receivers speeeeeeeed couldn’t keep him safe last night.
I wonder if the bouncer has a PhD?
April 19th, 2012 at 11:41 AM
Just give them every college trophy ever made…
April 19th, 2012 at 11:42 AM
I like that the Tide Sports article went up a half hour ago.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Except that it was a football player.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Medical redshirt waiting to happen. Opens a roster spot.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:44 AM
This is much much better.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:44 AM
Oh and kudos to CJ for investigating who the player was and posting.
*coughs* and looks at comment 2 and 8.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:45 AM
TBL just outed himself as the Nobody that reads the comments.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:45 AM
As confirmed by real media. Twenty minutes before this post went up.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:48 AM
That doesn’t matter, though. Unless you know for a fact, don’t say it. That’s journalism 101. When you can confirm with at least one, preferably 2, then go for it. Being the first to report is the bane of journalism.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:49 AM
I’m not banging on TBL, here, but rather Crimson and White.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:50 AM
Hey, watch it, buddy.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:50 AM
TideSports is not real media.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:51 AM
hey commenter who tipped me to this story, you want to show yourself? if not, that’s cool, too. either way, thanks.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Yeah. Crimson and White freaking blows.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Not until 2013-14.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Blow up the comments!
April 19th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Run by Tuscaloosa News is it not?
April 19th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
You’re welcome.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
And Nick Saban suddenly finds a away around that pesky over-signing problem.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
I had never heard of it before.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
I thought Teague Eagan spelled his name with an “A” in it.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Rivals.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
The moral of this story is do not go to Tuscaloosa. And if you do, don’t go to the Strip. And if you do, you might need a gun.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:55 AM
Being the first to report is the bane of journalism.
tho i miss much of it, i am very happy i got out of sportswriting before twitter
/would go back if it paid enough
//it doesn’t
///too many blogs fill the need
April 19th, 2012 at 11:55 AM
I’m pretty sure the Tuscaloosa News time stamps are inaccurate, too. All of their publishing has to go through Saban first.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:55 AM

that’s what h/t’s are for!
April 19th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Also, the intimation is that perhaps a player was shot, when in fact that was not the case.

I was told that that kind of thing will never work in the Big 10 because they’re all a bunch of fat kids who are used to playing football in cold weather. On this site, even!
April 19th, 2012 at 11:57 AM
Good job, Ben. Great tip.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Maybe you should include he has a concussion and hasn’t been shot.

Maybe, just maybe, this is revenge for Toomers Corner.

April 19th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
I thought it was pretty clear he wasn’t shot.
But, if this was over a girl perchance, maybe the shot to the heart metaphor still applies
April 19th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
This Beck cover of “I Only Have Eyes for You” is pretty good stuff.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Fuck, I’ve got to start over now…my conclusion was drawn in pen.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:02 PM
People on Twitter were saying he was shot. Good work twitter.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:02 PM
Ritty, just found out my buddy who is getting married in Auburn is having his reception at the Supper Club. I can already see that ending well…
April 19th, 2012 at 12:05 PM
firing shots into the air to disperse the crowd, eh? good move.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:06 PM
I want to know, just once, what it really feels like to fire wildly into the air.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:07 PM
That sounds horrible. And awesome.

April 19th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
You sure?
I don’t see where it mentions A) not being shot or B) concussion.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
oh…it’s a fucking blast. ive only shot 9mm into the air, tho more controlled than wild, and can only imagine how much fun it’d be to let off a few rounds from an AK or uzi on full auto.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Don’t do it. You’re totally going to be the guy that ends up shooting the invisible man.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
I’ve fired a Chinese made AK. Insanely fun.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Oh it will be both. the last time I was there I took a shot and then immediately threw it back up on the floor of the bus. come to think of it, that was probably the last time I threw up.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:11 PM
You know me, always towing the company line.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:11 PM
Or even a revolver. While on a horse. Celebrating a hootenanny.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:11 PM
Where do you guys live that you can’t fire a gun wildly into the air?
April 19th, 2012 at 12:13 PM
I kind of follow but not really.

April 19th, 2012 at 12:13 PM
One summer I lived outside the town limits of a small Appalachian town and there were gunshots every night. Neighbors just fired into the air all the time.
We just shot our old couches instead.
I miss school.

It’s only legal to fire at a black guy. Any other gunfire is STRONGLY discouraged by the fine police officers there.

Spencer: Am I crazy thinking Matt Barkley is going to be Matt Ryan 2.0? Improved for sure, but not by a wide margin?

If I’m seen with a picture of a super soaker, there is still a good chance there will be a red dot directly on my forehead soon there afterwards.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:17 PM

dad had guns in el salvador, saw him fire warning shots at asshats once driving to the coffee plantation. he let me shoot a .357 once
not wild, but in the air
April 19th, 2012 at 12:21 PM
There is a shooting range in the Tuskegee Forest outside of Auburn. Went there once with some friends to shoot up some political signs we took from front yards. There were ROTC guys shooting calculus books with an AR15 (amazing those pages stop that bullet pretty quick), and a guy with a mullet, a briefcase, and a bag full of guns straight up shooting full body targets he had assembled down range. It was amazing.

April 19th, 2012 at 12:23 PM
I shot my shotgun off my back deck at midnight on New Years this year. I shot at a milk jug filled with water and it was on the ground, still probably wasn’t the best idea.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:25 PM
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Not one bit.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:27 PM
Hah. The elections were over and we had no other targets. Don’t worry, we didn’t discriminate. Republican signs were shot evenly with Democrat signs.
April 19th, 2012 at 12:30 PM
Last time I was at a range…a guy was teaching his daughters to shoot a revolver. She took a few shots…it clicked once…and she said “I think it’s out”…looks at the gun from the side, pulls the trigger again, and shoots into the ground about 5 feet from her.
Felt like a good time to move down to the rifle range.

Are they gonna pour 6 kegs worth of beer on the floor to start the reception or just let it happen? I wore nice shoes to the supper club once. Just once.

I’ve got a GA state patrol captain that live behind me diagonally. He got pissed once for my kid lighting firecrackers. If I discharged a firearm in my backyard, I’d probably be on the evening news.
