Alabama and Michigan put their differences aside at the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ prior to their College Football Playoff semifinal game at the Rose Bowl on Monday. That didn’t stop Jalen Milroe from being hilariously petty!
Both the Wolverines and Crimson Tide visited Disneyland on Wednesday and were commemorated with a parade along Main Street. The cavalcade included Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban, Michigan defensive back Mike Sainristil, defensive lineman Kris Jenkins and running back Blake Corum, and Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner, defensive back Malachi Moore and Milroe.
Because the parade was to celebrate both college football teams, the confetti was program-neutral. Blue, maize, crimson and white fell from the sky. No one team had the upper-hand in terms of small paper bits falling from the sky.
Milroe and Moore wished that was not the case. They hate blue and maize. Especially this week!
In an effort to eradicate all things Michigan, the two Alabama stars picked up each individual piece of confetti that was not their own and discarded it from the carriage in which they were riding.
So petty. So funny.
While Milroe and Moore’s hi-jinx may not seem like a big deal, because it’s not, but it indicates just how personally that the Crimson Tide is taking this game. They are out for blood.
Not even pieces of paper in Wolverines colors is acceptable. Petty is personal!
Jalen Milroe also revealed a very important piece of information about his favorite Disney movie. He is apparently big on sing-a-longs and loves to belt out some Frozen!
Monday, New Year’s Day, will mark the first time that Michigan and Alabama will meet at the Rose Bowl. They have played five times before and the former leads the all-time series 3-2.
Should Milroe and Moore further distance themselves from the Wolverines with a fourth win in six tries, the College Football Playoff better be very careful with the postgame confetti. If there is a single blue or maize piece in the mix, even by accident, they will find it and throw it out!
