Oklahoma Red Cross takes shot at Alabama after Sugar Bowl
It seems like almost everyone outside of the state of Alabama enjoyed the beating Oklahoma put on the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night. The two-time defending national champions were dominated 45-31, and even the Red Cross decided to get in on the fun.
As AL.com’s Mark Heim pointed out, the Red Cross of Oklahoma sent out a hilarious tweet after the game. The tweet was later deleted, but not after it received more than 400 retweets.
Um. Wow? RT @redcrossokc: We understand Alabama's need for relief and privacy during this difficult time. Great game. #OUvsBAMA #SugarBowl

The Sooners entered the game as a 17-point underdog, so you can understand why the victory was so gratifying for the people of Oklahoma. Heck, even collegiate athletes who have nothing to do with Oklahoma got a good chuckle out of AJ McCarron’s turnovers. The Red Cross of Oklahoma followed up with a few tweets supporting the state of Alabama.
All in good fun tonight. Great game to both teams. Yes, we do love our friends in Alabama. #OUvsBAMA #SugarBowl

We sincerely ask for forgiveness and did not mean to offend any by our football-related tweets.

I’m sure Nick Saban and company have heard worse.
