Memphis Player Loses Mind After Birmingham Bowl

[Wireman]

Craziest thing you'll see today: Memphis player tackles Auburn ball boy, steals game ball, flips everyone off:

Classic Memphis.

Does this happen a lot there?

Does this happen a lot there?

 

He tries to steal one after every game that he gets a pick.

 

Odd.

I'm reading a clip that indicates Auburn equipment guy tackled Ball as he was trying to take a football:

Of course in the piece it states equipment guy tackles Memphis football player trying to take football, then further down in indicates Memphis player tackles equipment guy for football. Who knows.....

I saw Ball take a ball off the field after he had a pick six in the first half. He gave it to a teammate, but I am guessing that ball may have been taken, and Ball was trying to get one back. There is probably a better way to go about this, but of course what would the media do then?

He has been removed from the team apparently.

Gonna take his ball and go home.

He has been removed from the team apparently.

 

Yikes, seems like an overreaction. Maybe he's been talked to about it before but, I think a stern warning would have sufficed.

I thought he was a senior anyway?

Apparently that is correct:

"Even though Mr. Ball's football career has ended, he will no longer be a part of the Memphis program because of these actions."

 

He also autographed the ball and out it out on social media with the hashtag:

The photo includes the message "#RANOFFONDAPLUGTWICE."

His team lost. Big. But that's ok, he had a good game.

This is so Memphis :lol2:

Even if he wasn't a Senior I'd have no problem booting him...remember he assaulted (yes a tackle is an assault) someone and stole a ball from the opposing team. If you or I had tackled the equipment manager outside of the stadium and grabbed a ball and ran off we probably are going to jail.
