The Alabama football team took on the Arkansas Razorbacks last weekend, and fans took to Twitter to express their…thoughts. Here are some of the best.

There were many great tweets surrounding Alabama’s matchup with SEC West foe Arkansas.

ICYMI: Smoke Em If You Got Em

Eureka Pizza

The one that drew the most interest was about…..pizza. Eureka Pizza (Fayetteville, AR) owner Rolf Wilkin tweeted this out last Monday.

On the surface, it seems like a bold tweet that could potentially backfire in more ways than one. Guaranteeing a win against the Alabama football team? Crimson Tide fans certainly take notice and use it against Rolf if his guarantee fails. If it doesn’t fail, you take the hit on 1,000 pizzas. But Rolf is no fool. There’s a reason that Eureka Pizza has been a successful business in Arkansas since the early 90’s. In no time, the tweet blew up and Rolf was on local radio and TV stations getting free air time for his business. The tweet continued to gain steam and Eureka Pizza even made the Wall Street Journal and ESPN.

Eureka Pizza got national exposure based on a single tweet. They didn’t pay a single cent in advertising, and didn’t even have to give away a slice of pizza for free. Rolf is a genius when it comes to marketing his business.

The Game

The game kicked off and Alabama football former players Joe Namath and Mark Ingram liked what they saw early from Joshua Jacobs and company.

“Totin that tator” is now my favorite phrase.

Former walk-on turned actor Caleb Castille enjoyed Hootie Jones’ strip fumble.

Broken Records

Perhaps the most exciting moment of the game came when Tide DB Minkah Fitzpatrick returned an interception for 100+ yards and a touchdown. The return broke a school record previously held by Mark McMillian.

Mark caught wind that his record was broken while visiting San Diego State with his son Mark McMillian Jr.

Minkah ended up being one of Arkansas’s leading receivers.

A Classy Move

After the game, Nick Saban sought out Arkansas OL Frank Ragnow, whose father passed away earlier in the week.

The Opposite of Classy

One Arkansas fan/employee did not take the loss well.

This guy didn’t take it well, either.

Imagine driving home with your husband after an Arkansas loss. You look over to see him puffed up in his razorback face paint, razorback teeth that almost touch his eye balls, and razorback hat that blends in with the paint. I imagine there was pure silence the entire way. At least he wasn’t arrested.

Thoughts From The Team

The Crimson Tide defense gave up 400 yards through the air. While they created turnovers, the defensive back group was not pleased with their performance.

When he was done wrecking havoc, Tim Williams was only concerned with finding the movie ‘Dirty Dancing’ at Wal Mart later that night. That reads like a joke, but its not. In Tim’s defense, Dirty Dancing IS a classic.

Victory

Current players, former players, writers, and fans all chimed in after the victory.

The Alabama football team takes on the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend in Knoxville, and we all know the tweets will be epic. Check back with BamaHammer often for thoughts, notes, commentary, and of course, the best tweets from the weekend.
