Where is the footage of where Chris Hansen pops out from behind a curtain at Nick Saban's table all "To Catch A Predator" style?

Was thinking about taking my wife to Oxford to see Bama play Ole Miss, since we have an account out there.

But at $150 per ticket (at the lowest), guess I'll just take her to a couple of UNA games in Florence.

You're thinking of Aubie's Operation Iron Snare"



"It's not easy collecting child support from deadbeat moms and dads. But in one Alabama county, the task has apparently been particularly difficult. That's why the sheriff of Lee County, Ala. tried to lure 140 local residents who had outstanding warrants for unpaid child support by using the state's biggest football game as bait. Operation Iron Snare — which some are labeling a 'sleazy' maneuver — began with a letter telling the suspects they had won two free tickets to the Iron Bowl between rivals Auburn and Alabama. But after being met late last month(Aug.2011) with a celebration of their good fortune — complete with balloons, cheering, and Black Eyed Peas music — the suspects were escorted to a back room, introduced to a sheriff, and arrested on the spot."

Goddamn Alabama fans love their football.

 

[Tin Man]

I can think of reasons why Bama sets up such that fans run across the field to meet players and obtain autographs, snap photos, et al.
1. Bammers want to run on the actual playing field. It's a thrill for them.
2. Fans run rather than walk to be among the first to interact with the available players & coaches.
3. Given the level of obesity in Alabama, the running of the fans leave them out of breath and easier to control - a plus for event security.
4. Bama can actually spin the running of the fans as promoting fitness among the general populace - good PR for the university.
