It’s that time again, where we dust off the cobwebs of last season and get ready for another fall filled with meltdowns from the Awbun faithful. This week’s news from the Plains leaves us wondering if the Tigers will have enough players eligible to take the field Saturday. As always, spelling and grammar errors are in the originals.
"RD for public intoxication. You can view it in the Lee County Sherrif’s office website. I’m not judging the kid but dang, the week before our opener–really?"
"We need the University Police back. At least they were on the same page as the AD. These cops are getting OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!"
"if RD would have a been a bammer in downtown tuscloosa, the cop would have stopped by the liquor store, bought him another six pack, and took him home, saying the words,”ya’ll go whoop some michigan tail now…. row tahd….”"
"Yeah, let’s blame the cops and not the dumb@ss who got the public intox. Hope our back up center is ready. Got a feeling RD will be gone for the first couple of games. Not trying to bash Chizik, but he better get control of his team."
"Dude, it’s college. People party. Also, we’re still a young team."
"The kid had a little to much to drink his last free weekend of his college semester. Big deal, who cares? Stop holding these kids to such a high standard. Its not as if he was running around town with a gun or anything serious."
"This board needs to stop with the idea that these kids do nothing wrong or that it’s not a big deal. It’s obvious the players think that way….they wouldn’t keep this stuff up if they didn’t. Our fans are giving them a pass on anything and everything. We had people saying Zeke Pike was an angel because he posted morning thanks to God on twitter once or twice."
"Mods, can we delete this thread until there is actual evidence, that this isnt just a rumor. Kinda bad to smash a kid on something that could be made up"
"no proof? what part of “you can view on the Lee Co Sheriff’s office website” do you not understand?"
"I understand that we have new coordinators, a QB that has yet to prove himself, a young OL, a defense that needs to improve……..but I do believe that Auburn will be better than the media idiots"
"you dont even know what happened or why . he has not been convicted and i dont think he did anything that bad. pi is a joke do you walk the au streets at night everyone is drunk and many are disorderely and all coolege kids do it as im sure youy did"
"Now I’m pissed off. This $hit wouldn’t happen in Tuscaloosa 7 days before the first game. Like it or not Saban has that town under his thumb. Wouldn’t suprise if it was bammer cops just waiting for one of our boys to mess up."
"This will not make any rounds. PI not DUI or drugs. Will make bamer papers because bamers will lap it up to rub in our faces. It is something that needs to be addressed with RD to make sure it doesn’t happen again."
"bammer company line is Chiz is out if he doesn’t win 8 this year. There is one reason and one reason only u hear this. They are scared as hell of what we are building. They know that with equal talent, the Auburn spirit always wins out. Family comes first. I keep seeing people post on here that chiz will be out if we don’t win 8 games. Our consensus answer should be “go back to ti, bammer”, because their troll is obvious. Anyone that would degrade auburn while our best recruiting class ever is unsigned, is not an auburn fan. No more JABA. Time to buck the trend. We continue recruiting like we are, heck, anyone can win with 5 stars across the board. Also, we are clean as a whistle and don’t expect any violations of significance under chiz. Most importantly, we just won a national champ. That should get you anra decade."
"Shouldn’t the AUPD be Sweeping this stuff under the rug or something? I mean damn Courtney Upshaw can beat up his girlfriend and not only not get in trouble with the Tuscaloosa cops but get her dad to say she deserved it in the newspaper. I mean come on, let’s be real here. This would never have happened across the state. Now Chizik’s hands are tied. I’m not saying RD isn’t black hole stupid and doesn’t deserve punishment (he does) but the AUPD could throw Chizik a bone here and let it be handled internally for this mild stuff (college student drunk in public! Oh my!)"
And finally, one fan posts the Most Ironic Thing Said By Anyone, Ever:
"Coach Chizik just seems to have a low tolerance for stupidity."
