JUST IN TIME FOR MY CONTRACT RENEGOTIATION/JOB SEARCH
De’Shon Sanders is the snowman, and he’s gonna melt under the interrogation lamps: the reserve defensive back for the Texas Tech Red Raiders was arrested at 1:30 in the morning today in Lubbock by DEA agents. Please note the scary Federal acronym. That’s the DEA, as in “pound-you-in-the-ass federal prison” Feds. Sanders, caught with over 50 grams of cocaine, is trouble spelled with a capital DAMN.
Sanders is also a housemate of Michael Crabtree. Crabtree has not been implicated in the case in any way.
It cannot help Mike Leach’s efforts to sufficiently gain leverage to bleed some extra booty from the rules of his home port to have this happen, and it is a marginal distraction for Washington, who might be the team most serious about hiring Leach as a head coach. As for Auburn, who probably has a booster who is already literally throwing money at him and crying into the phone to him, this won’t matter OH GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE PLEASE COME COACH OUR FOOTBALL TEAM HOLY GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE.

Imagine Michael Crabtree’s shock when he learned his housemate was a coke dealer.

Typical bullshit DEA tactics. Find a guy named De’Shon and then raid his house assuming he has a mess of cocaine.
Meanwhile, Graham Harrell still prowls the streets, molesting children and dealing heroin out of the back of his wood-paneled minivan.

Sanders is a transfer. I wonder how long had he been at the school. This kid really hit he ground runnin. You would think it would take a few months just to get on the DEA’s radar.

Given the season, why not play around with the lyrics?:
De’Shon the snowman was a jolly happy ____,
With a ____ pipe and a ___ nose,
And two eyes made out of ___.
De’Shon the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old ____ ____ they found.
For when they placed it on his ___,
He began to dance around.

50g? That’s casual use, isn’t it? All I can say is that its too bad this isn’t Fulmer Cup season….

Damn, I had been lead to believe that on of the major benefits of the Patriot Act (well besides trampling all over your rights as an American) was to allow better communication in criminal matters. Obviously I have been lied to yet again. Otherwise certainly the DEA would spoken with EDSBSA and would have naturally delayed this arrest a mere month and a few weeks and we would have some serious pointage in the Fulmer Cup race. Perhaps an insurmountable lead. Damn!

The DEA? Holy Shiite….for 50 grams of blow? Roughly, what…$2200 street value I would think….if the Michigan price of $300 for 7 grams holds true in Lubbock.
No doubt he was going to distribute, Micheal Irving and the rest of the “White House” crew would have a tough time blowin thru 50 grams in a weekend. Well, depends on the whores’ (white whores of course) who are present and their ability to “pack their beaks”…..
Oh yeah, and I’m sure Crabtree was “very surprised”…wink, wink.
Very surprised that there’s no more nose candy for the bitches anymore….

There is no way an educated and thoughtful person like Mike Leach could survive, much less enjoy himself, at such a provincial place as Auburn.

Mich-Placed Gator says:
@7 50g is WAY more than casual use.
1.5g is casual use for an evening.
An 8 ball (3.5g) is casual use for an evening or weekend for a couple people.
A quarter ounce (7g) is casual use if you’re going away for a 3 or 4 days and want to party hard with the GF / Ol’ Lady or both.
Even Scarface himself would have a hard time justifying that 50g was “casual use”.

in spite of the head to head victory over UT here, you still have to give the edge to the Longhorns on the 2007 body of work; one measly cocaine possession with intent to distribute doesn’t overcome the string of arrests last summer.

@11
I absolutely love that there are experts regarding anything I could imagine on EDSBS, including someone who can easily and articulately break down coke grams into common usages (e.g., “1.5g is casual use for an evening; An 8 ball (3.5g) is casual use for an evening or weekend for a couple people.”)
I won’t ask how you know this. (I’ll assume you’re a local prosecutor, law enforcment, or Fed).
Oh, what the hell, how DO you know this?

50 grams? Treasurers in SC from prominent families go to prison for less than this sort of behavior. Thus, this guy will never be heard from again.

#28, “Catching or chasing the dragon” refers to inhaling heated opium or any of the fine products derived from opium when it is on a piece of foil. I think that we are exposing some of our dirty little secrets.

Incorrect. Federal prisons aren’t PYITA prisons. That’s a state prison thing.

Crabtree never noticed the people coming and going at all hours of the night or the jittery energy that Shon-Shon always seemed to have. He didn’t ask why Shon’s rent money was always in rolled up dust covered hundreds, either. Nothing out of the ordinary here, officer.
