The DM That Started It All
During an appearance on the Like A Farmer Podcast, Thomas dropped a bombshell that sent fans into a frenzy. She revealed that a prominent SEC football coach had slid into her DMs with a simple yet loaded message: "Roll Tide." While Thomas declined to name the coach, she added, “They're an Alabama fan now, at least. We’ll let everyone else figure that out for themselves.”
Antonio Brown Adds to the Fire
In a shocking move, former NFL player Antonio Brown recently tweeted that the coach in question is Lane Kiffin, further intensifying the debate.
