Alabama Alum Damien Harris Tweets and Deletes Comical Insult Against LSU
By Brendan Azoff
LSU and Alabama have been SEC rivals that have kicked each other's shins for a long time, and the bad blood between the two schools is always on display during their yearly meetings.
Due to Alabama's dominance, LSU has been staring up at them in the standings the last few seasons, and when Tigers safety Grant Delpit was quoted talking about LSU's defensive swagger, former Crimson Tide running back Damien Harris had an amazing retaliatory chirp.
What does former Alabama running back Damien Harris think about LSU safety Grant Delpit saying the Tigers defense will have swag next season?

'So...8-4?' https://t.co/TIZnQQL4lA pic.twitter.com/jz7SapXzcq
The tweet has since been taken down, but what is posted online could never really be deleted, and we are thankful that 24/7 sports was able to save the tweet. LSU is probably not going to top Alabama again this season, despite their stellar defense, but after a 10-3 2018, an 8-4 record may be a bit low for the Tigers.

Damien Harris is now on the New England Patriots and will look to help another SEC running back in Sony Michel terrorize opposing defenses out of the backfield. But despite being in the NFL, Harris' heart will always be with Alabama, and his hatred for LSU is still evident today.
