This beautiful transcription typo has a reporter asking Nick Saban about ‘ass moss fear’

The only thing we have to fear is ass moss itself.

Alabama football beat Florida State handily on college football’s opening weekend, 24-7. It wasn’t the close No. 1 vs. No. 3 game everyone had hoped for, and the Seminole’s quarterback Deondre Francois got injured in the fourth quarter, but some gold came out of the postgame press conference.

More specifically, someone transcribed a reporter’s question to Nick Saban about the atmosphere to read “ass moss fear.” ASS. MOSS. FEAR.

Excuse me?

Now, I wasn’t at this press conference. Maybe someone did ask about the Crimson Tide’s noted fear of ass moss. But Saban’s response was about the atmosphere, so something is off.

To be fair, ass moss is a common fear. It’s one of the least popular versions of moss. But, transcriber person, you miiiight have wanted to give this one a quick read over before you printed it out for the world. Please apologize to the ass moss, which just wants to be excused from this narrative.
