“Hoover High”, Gosh that could have many meanings. Not to be confused with a ” Hoover Low”. Which , I think, is just starting to raise it’s cute little head.

Ramma’ Jamma’, here comes “Yellow Mama”. I know it needs more work, but it’s a start. Seems like I see a whole bunch of smoke, something must be on fire. How much is Saban’s buyout?

Hey Erik, you know what else reeks of desperation?
Anything related to Ole Miss…ya’ll spent so much time bitching about the correct call being made in the UA/OM game, that you forgot to pay attention to Arkansas..

War Eagle,
I’ve read the entire 90 page report in the situation.

The only, ONLY contact Alabama had with Hoover, is when they had a kid who they had, who they were told that he was eligible. They got one report where he had one set of grades that was his final transcript, Kevin Steele called and asked what the deal was, they told him that they had made a mistake, and sent over the “fixed” grades.

The blame was on Hoover’s end. If Alabama had that much power to get kids passed, then Kerry Murphy would be playing for them right now. They want to get as many kids on D1 scholarships so they can recruit talent to their football program (Hoover). That’s their goal. That’s why they have been changing grades and shit like that.

Don’t try and turn it into anything it isn’t. It isn’t like Tubby is running a crystal clean program over there, with the Irons brothers (I got a fuck midget in this suitcase!) and Cadillac Williams being shining examples of recent graduates from the football program.

Sociology degrees for everyone!

pun’kinhead, I like when people get angry – let’s me know I hit a nerve. lol.

and, Tater, it wasn’t a simple rounding issue. The 89 was the final grade. The kid, an AU verbal commit, was ineligible and it was a done deal. After UA,T official called an official at the school, it was changed to 90 by ‘mistakenly’ averaging the first semester grade with the final grade.

Duh.

The final grade is already averaged.

Very, very lame and very, very improbable. It does, however, allow people to claim “They just rounded a grade, no big deal.”

The difference between Hoover and Mobile is that there is no connection between AU and Mobile officials. That and it’s been ruled a non-issue already by the NCAA.

Tater, I have no idea about any alleged PLOI. I will surely find out more though.

PW-

Agreed. I think Orson has made the point before that he views D1 college football as a sort of minor league football.

I like EDSBS threads a lot better when they’re filled with witty pop culture references, inside jokes, and anything in Orgeron-speak. I don’t even mind Bama-Auburn threadacks, but really, no one gives a shit about recruiting violations.

I’d venture to say that half of the football players in the SEC were either illegally contacted or paid by the school (or boosters) for which they now play. Does it make a school dirty? Yes, but that’s just the way it goes in major D1 football.

Oh, and bamafan, I think the sound of crazies running through Lester’s head is anything but faint…

bamafan,

I think it will be close to as loud as UF ‘05. The big difference is LSU is likely bringing a few thousand more into BDS than UF did. Also, in the UF game, most people didn’t think we had a shot, and we got up early and we got up big. The crowd was really loose. They might be tighter for this game. Here’s hoping they’re not

Will Bryant-Denny be louder then the 2005 Florida game? I think it might be. The only sound one might hear when LSU has the ball besides the crowd will be the faint whirl of the crazies running through Les Miles head.
