Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Four-star Arizona cornerback Travell Dixon committed to Alabama over FSU and others Wednesday night, putting on quite a Twitter performance in the process. After revealing he'd picked up 1,000 sudden followers and declaring he'd have a post-announcement "civil Q & A session" on Ustream*, Dixon toyed with hundreds and hundreds of grown men for a few more moments:
Now what you all been waiting for!!!
After careful consideration on the behalf of my parents &family. I decided that in the best interest Academically and Athletically I chosen.
.......................................................um...........um...................lol
"THE ADAGE"- A picture is worth a thousand words
After much hemming and hawing, Dixon put up a photo of his newly crimson family, along with a Tide-flavored treat:
* Mr. Dixon, you will have a number of short, civil Q&A sessions with Nick Saban in the coming years. They will not be civil, and the Q will be the A.

Why do you hate humor?
Or do they breed that out of you in Alabama? “Fellas just got a bit too much Bama’ in im, ain’t laughed in years”

yeah! everyone knows jokes about cakes are always hilarious!
Sorry bro. People in Alabama don’t have a sense of humor. I’m with you though. The picture of that cake is hilarious! It’s a cake with icing and words on it congratulating a kid on going to a major university to play football and get an education. Get it? . . . Get it!? Comedy gold.
