OT: Four Auburn Players Arrested
So, this happened this weekend: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/15447512/carlton-davis-i…
In and of itself, no big deal (weed infractions are, to me, silly, but they're illegal nonetheless). But this made me think: While the SEC has been going all church-lady against the injustice of satellite camps, here are the things (off the top of my head) that have happened (just this year):
-Tennessee's massive institutional problem with sexual assault is revealed (with or without Peyton's teabagging);
-Auburn's top talent (including 2015's ESPN #1 player) likes weed;
-Ole Miss is discovered to openly give players money, and train them to smoke from a gas mask (in front of the Confederate Battle Flag);
-Bama has a coach quit under scandalous circumstances (stay tuned, I hope);
-Little Vandy has a highly publicized rape case settled;
-Missouri has a race problem that trickles into its sports;
-LSU is basically broke;
-Arkansas has a fat fraternity bro as its coach (sorry, this was gratuitous);
-But at least in football, UK looks clean, as does T A&M and South Carolina! WOO HOO!!
Am I missing anything? I know conferences go through rough patches. Heck, the B1G had UM and OSU get dinged at about the same time (for stretching and tattoos) a few years ago. But for a bunch of holier-than-thou folks who claim to lead the way in the sport, to cry foul about camps designed to help kids you'd think these yahoos would look inward a little more...
"This one's got the vodka honey!"
I'm more surprised a football player in the state of Alabama got arrested for anything, much less something idiotic like a college kid smoking weed.
They (like a previous poster stated) are not "holier than thou". Fans know they cheat and don't care. The satellite camp noise, was just that, noise to get people distracted from the real issue. They didn't want our coach to get a hands on recruiting tool in their backyard. The whole south, and hell even the west, have a win at all costs attitude, and that's why they have been so successful. Let's not get to high on our horses, and start remodeling our glass houses, Penn St, OSU, MSU, and Michigan have all had similar things happen in the past. Shit happens.
your avatar picture.
couple of months..its a pretty much constant thing..living in SEC terrirotry I can tell you nobody cares about rules and laws. as long their team wins they dont care if they cheat or not, They dont care if they are known as cheaters..they just dont care.
Coming from SEC country it's important you avoid becoming part of a common meme.... Pick up a copy of this:
dampening...
One downside of the Harbaugh era is that it doesn't look like we'll ever be competitive in the Fulmer Cup.

These kids were just doing what the bag-man asked of them.
"Don't spend it all in one place, kid!" Wink, wink.
So they got some hookers, blow and weed. How could they know the weed would trip them up, when the rest of the plan was going so well?
Players are told, warned and lectured about not using the stuff while getting a full ride to play football. And yet they continue to do so. The fact they ignore the rules makes me glad they were arrested. I'd like to think they'll learn their lesson but I've seen enough of these dope heads to know they won't. They are addicted to weed and will never stop.

and I have yet to puke on anyone. I bet you are the guy who always clogs the toilet.
In A2, smokin weed is like having your daily dose of veggies.
as long as Johnny Manziel is still alive and kicking. I can't imagine how many people it took to clean up his messes while he was an Aggie.
BUT GOD FORBID JIM HARBAUGH HAS A SATELLITE CAMP!
That's the real crime here....
Everything posted after Hal's dumbass "glass houses" post looks weird.
