The SEC has some of the most passionate fans in college football.
A late-season loss sent one fan over the edge.
And an SEC fan had an epic rant after one loss worse than waking up next to Whoopi Goldberg.
Alabama’s loss to Oklahoma sends one fan over the edge
The Alabama Crimson Tide football team entered a new era this season after legendary coach Nick Saban retired.
Saban turned the program into the gold standard of college football with six national champions during his time Alabama.
Alabama and its new head coach Kalen DeBoer had a promising start to the season with a win 41-34 win over then-second-ranked Georgia at home.
The Crimson Tide followed that up with a shocking loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores for the first time in 40 years.
Alabama then lost a close game to rival Tennessee by a touchdown.
The team was still in playoff contention with the expanded 12-team playoff field.
Now Alabama’s playoff dreams are hanging by a thread after a shocking 24-3 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe turned in a dreadful performance with three interceptions and an 11-26 passing performance for 164 yards.
A three-loss Alabama team would need a miracle to make the playoffs.
The reality of life after Nick Saban hit home for Crimson Tide fans after the game.
The Paul Finebaum Show is known for its colorful cast of regular callers who weigh in on the state of their team.
Alabama’s sitting with three losses for the first time since 2010 caused a fan to go off on Coach DeBoer and the team.

“Man, I’ve never been so embarrassed in all my life,” Legend told host Paul Finebaum. “Three freaking losses! Are you freaking kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? This is disgusting, man! What I seen Saturday night, that was pathetic! It was disgusting, man! You know, Paul, going from coach [Nick Saban] to coach DeBoer, it’s like going to bed married to Beyonce and waking up with Whoopi Goldberg laying next to you, brother.”
Legend was beside himself over what happened to the program he loved.
“How do we accept it? Is this acceptable Alabama brand? Is this Alabama football? Is this what we signed up for? Is this what Bear Bryant Built? Is this what Nick Saban built? Man, I’m disgusted! You ought to be disgusted, too,” Legend said.
He laid into Coach DeBoer for costing the Crimson Tide a playoff appearance.
“You know, I heard coach DeBoer in his press conference after the game talking about, ‘We need to learn how to do better.’ Nah, dude, all that crap’s over with. You ain’t going to the playoffs and every real Alabama fan don’t give a damn now because there’s nothing at stake! I don’t even give a damn about the Iron Bowl! I don’t even care who I piss off! I don’t care which one of you little Alabama fans get your feelings hurt because Legend keeps it 100! But damn the Iron Bowl! We’re about national championships at Alabama. I don’t give a damn about beating some weak-a** Auburn team! It’s about playoffs and championships! It’s just pathetic!” Legend exclaimed.
The Legend is more confirmation of the SEC’s motto of “it just means more.”
