It’s not often that we see Alabama trailing or struggling during a football game, but that’s how things were for them against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday. The result was Crimson Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron’s mom, Dee Dee Bonner, going absolutely nuts cheering on her son’s team.
As Bama got the ball back following an Oklahoma punt late in the third quarter, ESPN cameras flashed to Bonner, who went yelling for AJ. McCarron’s girlfriend, Katherine Webb, had a pretty nervous look on her face.
A.J. has said in the past that he could hear his mother cheering him on during a game. I’m guessing he could hear her after that.
Dee Dee also came dangerously close to Russell Wilson’s wife status with that reaction:
For the record, Alabama had only trailed 157 minutes with McCarron at QB prior to the Sugar Bowl:
This was definitely a new feeling for Dee Dee.
