See the 'Disgusting' Banner Alabama Fans Hung Prior to Game Against LSU

A sign that reportedly hung, albeit briefly, from an off-campus apartment building has drawn ire from Alabama and Louisiana State University football fans alike.

The sign, circulating on social media, read, "Finish What Katrina Started," with one 'a' drawn as the Alabama logo.

According to Sean Landry, editor-in-chief of the Crimson White, the banner hung at an off-campus house but was taken down.

I'm from Mobile. I had family in New Orleans. I live in Tuscaloosa, where my brother was on April 27. This stuff will always be off limits.

That sign was at an off-campus apartment building and has been taken down, according to multiple sources. CW has contacted UA for comment

"UA is appalled that anyone would display a banner with such an inappropriate and offensive statement," the university said in a statement on Twitter. "It’s our understanding that the banner was hung at an off-campus apartment complex and it has been removed."

Others responded to the sign on Twitter as well.

I know that banner doesn't encompass all #Alabama fans, but really??? You just gave #LSU the public sentiment and motivation needed!!!

People are real mad about that Alabama banner about Katrina but Baton Rouge isn't New Orleans, so like???

@SamHolloway1 @EdgeofSports If LSU flew a banner, "Like the T-Town Tornado," Alabama would be fairly outraged.

Geaux Tigers! Alabama fans took it way too far with that banner.
