It started when he started taunting my son.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oPojG4XpLAY\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I found this line in the AL.com story hilarious&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pritchett said she was at the game with her husband, her 16-year-old son, her son&#8217;s girlfriend and son&#8217;s girlfriend&#8217;s sister, and some other friends. She said she&#8217;s a big Alabama fan and she&#8217;s bantered with opposing fans, but this time, it got to be a little too much.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Must be so hard to be losing huh Michelle? Easier to taunt opposing fans when you are winning?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even some of the people with them said &#8216;y&#8217;all are getting too rowdy, this is getting out of control,'&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also issued apologies to fans of both teams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I apologize to the whole Alabama team, to Nick Saban,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I apologize to the whole Alabama base. That&#8217;s not the way I would normally handle things. But when he told my son to come down there, that wasn&#8217;t going to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course Prichett did not let the interview end before making a passing \u00a0accusation\u00a0against the Oklahoma fans.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;From what the security person told me, they walked up there a couple times because the lower deck people were complaining that someone was throwing bottles,&#8221; said Pritchett, who said she didn&#8217;t personally see them throw any bottles. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t tell them to come up there but they talked to these guys a few times.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And just to be clear. While she apologized she is not feeling apologetic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Would I take that back? No,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He was out of control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For what it&#8217;s worth the OU fans alleged in a separate interview that Prichett&#8217;s son wanted to fight them and mom went crazy when they told him to come on down.<\/p>\n<p><em>So what do you think?
