And here's a fish story out of Alabama. A guy with a bad back paid for a fishing trip on the Gulf Coast with star WR Julio Jones and RB Mark Ingram, but didn't know they were Bama players, and he's not a Bama booster or fan.

Alabama man asked to stay away from Tide players after fishing trip
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama has asked an Athens man to stay away from two Crimson Tide football players he took on a Gulf Coast fishing trip, though the university didn't report any NCAA violations or penalize itself over the outing.
The university investigated the trip that Curtis Anderson took this past spring with star receiver Julio Jones and running back Mark Ingram and forwarded its findings to the Southeastern Conference.
Anderson, who has a condominium in Gulf Shores, has been asked to end his relationship with the players during their playing careers, and Jones and Ingram were told not to contact him. He paid for the trip.
"The university is aware of Mr. Anderson, and has taken appropriate steps," said Alabama spokeswoman Deborah M. Lane. "Mr. Anderson is not affiliated with UA. He is not a UA booster, fan or alumnus, and is not a UA season ticket holder. In fact, Mr. Anderson told us that all of his family are fans of another SEC school."
