Legendary Alabama Football Star Apologizes To Kalen DeBoer

Last Friday Alabama became the first team in the 12-team College Football Playoff era to win a road playoff game, beating Oklahoma 34-24. But one Alabama legend who seemed to have lost faith in the Crimson Tide prior to the game decided that he owed head coach Kalen DeBoer an apology.

It was former Alabama running back and current FOX Sports analyst Mark Ingram who outright picked against the team he won a Heisman Trophy and national title for back in 2008. His reasoning was that they had already lost to Oklahoma in the regular season and looked meek in the SEC Championship Game two weeks prior.

But on the latest episode of his Triple Option Podcast, DeBoer was a guest and Ingram promptly apologized. He claimed that he was trying to throw out the proverbial "rat poison" and the team responded exactly as he wanted.

“I was throwing the rat poison out there and clearly y’all heard me because you went out to Norman and we did the job. And we’re gonna do the job again in a few weeks. So you know, I go harder for Bama than anybody in the nation. I go harder for you than anybody in the nation. Did I feel like we left our destiny in the committee’s hands? Yes, I did. But at the end of the day, I’ll root for Bama. I want Bama in the playoff, I want Bama to win the natty, I want Bama to ball every single time we’re on the field. So I do apologize. And you know I’m the ultimate King Gump,” Ingram told DeBoer.
