Alabama’s Kool-Aid McKinstry flaunts his love for Roll Tide after clinching a spectacular win against Tennessee Vols in Week 8
Alabama's Kool-Aid McKinstry is in love with the Tide and he won't ever hide it. Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide made a spectacular comeback to win their Week 8 clash with rivals Tennessee. And the team's cornerback is flaunting his love for the program.
Ga'Quincy McKinstry is known as the Alabama Kool Aid kid among those close to him. The cornerback took to social media to upload some photographs after Alabama overcame Tennessee on Saturday. And he sent out a message for the Tide and the Tide nation.
Alabama Kool Aid kid Ga'Quincy McKinstry shoots a message for Roll Tide nation
Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Ga'Quincy McKinstry uploaded a carousel of images on Instagram to show his love for the team. He chose different visuals involving him from the game against the Tennessee Volunteers to convey his emotions. And the Bama star also left a message for the fans in the caption.
"I love BAMA," McKinstry wrote in the caption of the carousel.
The cornerback is known as the Alabama Kool Aid Kid or just Kool Aid McKinstry due to his grandmother giving him the name when he was a kid. He reminded his grandmother of the Kool Aid mascot when he smiled, thus prompting the name.
A lifelong Alabama resident, his love for the program is understandable. But the performance he and the team put up against Tennessee after initially going down made so many others fall in love with them too.
Alabama's spectacular comeback against the rivals Tennessee Volunteers
Alabama has struggled to impose its authority in games this season and it is kind of becoming a norm for the Tide this year. They have either struggled early and had to dig themselves out of a hole later in the game or have gone up early and then been caught napping.
And the rivalry game against Tennessee looked like another difficult day in office for Nick Saban's boys as they went into halftime down 7-20.
The second half turned the matchup upside down. QB Jalen Milroe and RB Jase McLellan worked in tandem to get the offense purring again. And the defense completely shut out Tennessee. In the end, Alabama won it easily, 34-20.
The Bama boys have a week off before they take on the LSU Tigers. They are 7-1 going into the game but their opponents are definitely tricky. Can they keep on going?
