I am going to be honest, I think Bama’s win had more to do with Deshaun Watson being in the NFL than anything Swinney or Renfrow said, but it makes for a good story, so here it is.
Brown said that Swinney disrespected the Tide by voting for Ohio State ahead of Alabama as a playoff team in the Amway Coaches Poll — when USA TODAY Sports revealed each coach’s playoff ballot.
“I love Dabo for all the ammunition he gave this team, man,” Brown said in a late interview with AL.com. “He gave this team a lot of ammunition to come play this game and ready to dominate every play. They told us we weren’t ready. They told us we weren’t worthy of a top-four team.
“I mean, look, that’s what happens when you talk trash to us. That’s what happens. We’re going to show you.”
Brown also called out Clemson’s Hunter Renfrow, who made the game-winning play in last season’s national championship game that saw the Tigers best Alabama, 35-31. Renfrow told reporters earlier in the week he apologized to Brown for previous instances of trash talking because “maybe apologizing would get in his head.”
Brown took issue with that, and said, “I love the lies he told.”
“Didn’t happen. The lie Hunter Renfrow told the media about trying to hit me up,” Brown said. “I didn’t read the whole story but from what I heard he said, we were talking trash during the game and he felt bad about what happened during the game and he tried to contact me and it didn’t happen. That didn’t happen at all.”
Bama is already so good; you don’t need to add any fuel to the fire.
Georgia you have been warned.
