Bravo… 100+ cocktails… I think the situation more closely resembles the former rather than the latter…

Saban puts arm around Bear Bryant, disappears.

envisioning the final scene of return of the jedi

You mean the last scene in Happy Gilmore.

Believe it or not, TMZ just released this footage of the recent trip. Looks like the Tide will have some ’splaining to do.

No mention of Bobby getting his bank taken away by the FDIC. I was expecting a tale of woe since Colonial can’t supply a jet for future coaching hires that don’t happen.

I have a hard time believing either of these stories as cocaine is never mentioned.

Awesome. Well done.

Dude you’re a tool. Mr Anderson is a fan of another SEC school, he lives in Athens, Ga – you figure it out. He isn’t a booster, an alumnus, a ticket holder or even a Bama’ fan. Nice try though, If I were completely oblivious to the facts I might think it was funny as well.

I can personally verify that money covered in steroids IS the best kind

Bobby should have paid attention to Wallace Malone & got out with a cool $400+ mil. while the going was good.

Hey, look! Someone help J get his computer to stop saying “YOU’VE GOT MAIL!” over and over again!

On a more serious note, it’s frustrating to read that article about the lengths that Alabama is taking to disprove any wrong doing along with cooperating with the NCAA, while USC DOESN’T cooperate with the NCAA and seemingly gets away with far worse violations…

@8

Jesus tapdancing Christ. Do us all a favor and march your ass down to the Wal-Mart, buy yourself a sense of humor, and come back when you’ve fully applied it.

Pretty fuckin funny.

Whew… that whole story stinks. Just became friends? Not even a football fan? Laugh.

.. bear in mind.. I’m not suggesting there are any rules violations. Just wish the guy would tell the truth.. he wants to take them on a fishing trip because they really good colege football players. Big deal.

@8

Tim tapdancing Tebow, even I laughed at this and we’re supposed to be the conspiracy theorists. Now, will someone ask those Red Elephant Club gunships to stop circling? Thanks.

Awesome.

Oh, and Orson, you left out one key part to the Bama story: the sleuthy NCAA investigator with a gigantic anti-Bama chip on his shoulder.

I find the second scenario completely probable and plausible, especially the part concerning the steroid enriched money…

You left out the part where Bama claims another MNC for it.

Let’s see….there’s Athens, Georgia….Athens, Greece….and ….well I’ll be hornswaggled….Athens, Alabama.

Learn something new everyday, unless you’re from east central alabama.

We all know Cybertyde was behind this whole thing.

#8

Mr. Anderson is from Athens, AL.

Not to worry. Julio knew the guy from his time spent working at a marina in high school.

If the Tee Martin Case has taught us anything, it’s that you can get away with providing cash and services to talented athletes IF you start at an early enough age.

J

The article never mentioned exactly which Athens this Mr. Anderson was a resident. A quick check of google confirms there is an Athens, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky which could make him a fan of 8 of the 12 SEC teams.

So it is clear to me that he is a front for the Tide and baited their hooks with cocaine and krugerrans.

Now that i think about it, that should be north central Alabama.

Filling in for Gene Stallings will be Hayden Christiansen

THIS IS NOT FUNNY>!! WHY CANT TALLENTED ATHALETES TAKE FISSHING TRIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESS PEOPLE! YOUR JUST JEALOUS OF OUR TRADITION.

Fun Fact:

14 states have a town named Athens, making it one of the more popular names for a town.

Check that, 20 states.

The man is from Athens, Ala. Basic AP rules (followed by all newspapers not owned by the New York Times) indicates that you don’t include the state following the city when the story originates from the same state as the newspaper. Therefore, since this was an Alabama newspaper, the man is from Athens, Ala. I knew my journalism degree from the Capstone would come in handy at some point in my life.

Does the money have to be stapled to the naked women? Wouldn’t some double sided tape work? Not that I would care, I spend most of my time swimming in the steroid money.

Re: #8

J, due diligence isn’t one of your finer talents, is it?

[Curtis] Anderson is the owner of Eagle Wholesale Supply in Athens. He paid for a fishing charter in the spring with Jones and Ingram from the Alabama Gulf Coast. Jones is from nearby Foley.

A two second search on Yahoo gives you the following lead link:

http://national.citysearch.com/profile/1404673/athens_al/eagle_wholesale_supply.html?publisher=smx_noncust&reference_id=1&placement=shopping

Eagle Wholesale Supply is in Athens…..Athens, Alabama.

Poster FAIL

I’m thinking of the South Park episode where everyone says they don’t want to have anything to do with Jimmy and Timmy asking about whether it’s better to be born crippled or to become crippled later in life.

“If the Tee Martin Case…”

BUT MOMMY AUBURN AND TENNESSE GOT TO GO OUT AND PLAY!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@34

OMG, “Eagle” Wholesale Supply? Clearly a reverse plot by Auburn/Awbarn/Whatever-cutise-spelling-they’ve-come-up-with-this-week. Thanks sooo much out outing this particular operation. What are you guys, the New York Times?

@10,

Unfortunately for Wallace, most of his money was printed in the form of Wachovia stock certificates. Now great for wallpapering an outhouse!

Clearly, this is all the nefarious handiwork of Athens, Alabama’s favorite son; Phillip Marmalard King LaserFace Rivers.

I don’t have a dog is this fight, but I am rather curious.

Athens, AL – located just west of Huntsville in North Alabama
Foley, AL – located just west and north of Mobile in South Alabama

Now how exactly did they meet growing up?? You are looking at a 6-7 hour drive and I am guessing that the Marina was for the Tenn River.

Since when is Athens and Foley close together? I must be missing something in this story.

im an auburn fan,but im sorry…thats funny!!!!

I hate all of you

1. wins. a close runner up are the 226 comments at AL.com. they are priceless.

Anderson should’ve taken Tebow on the trip. He’d have healed his back and multiplied the fish they caught.

Julio worked at Zeke’s Landing (where the charter originated from) in high school. For 75 bucks a head you too can fishing with them for 6 hours.

Mr Anderson owns a condo in Gulf Shores. Mr Anderson goes fishing with Zeke’s when he’s down on vacation. You figure out the rest

Even Gene Chizik could figure out the rest if Old Navy would him time off from all those commercials

ROFL at any fan of a school that Jackie Sherril was head coach at trying to accuse anyone of cheating

MSUDog,
Any man with the means to do so will have a saltwater fishing boat in a Marina on the Gulf Coast if he has the financial ability to do so.

I’d rather cornhole my cousin than go freshwater fishing, if the option for saltwater is on the table.

It isn’t surprising, though. Many successful business people from around the Southeastern United States have vacation homes, etc., in Baldwin County.

Haha. People taking this post seriously are why other states make fun of Alabama.

I love Auburn, but c’mon…it’s a freaking blog post.

Funny thing, no one mentions the other two guys from Alabama(DJ Fluker and Terrance Cody) who went on the same trip, but they had to take a barge,which they capsized once they stepped aboard at the marina, and are on the hook for about $300k….linemen get no respect..

Dude, if the NCAA even blinks and thinks about putting them on any type of suspension, you can bet there will be a Crimson Jihad, there will be a pile of smoldering ash and rubble where the NCAA used to be, and I am a more conservative Bama fan, and thats just my initial knee jerk reaction. I am pretty sure that Saban will use this as a rallying cry for “us vs the world” and we will come out and destroy VT in ATL.

But, as a counterpoint, someone saying that they are a fan of another SEC school and not knowing who Julio Jones is, well…. hard to believe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFXQCit2iPo

Julio is worth hundreds of fishing trips, who are we kidding here?

It’s funny because it clearly juxtaposes the delusion of both sides. Most Alabama fans think that nothing wrong ever goes on at THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA.

(it’s in all caps because we will kick everyone’s ass again this year, save perhaps Florida, but Florida doesn’t count, they are a league of Cyborgs. Their two main Cyborgs “almost” went to THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, but, we’re glad they are at Florida. Had they come to our school, we’d still have Shula. This way, THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA will win the 2010 NC once all the main Cyborgs graduate, er, run out of eligibility. I don’t see Spikes donning a cap and gown, he’ll just pretend he’s a badass some more and talk about pushing Andre Smith down while Andre was not looking.)

And, conversely, most Auburn fans are so jealous of THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA that they would do anything to see us brought under an NCAA investigation. I mean, you can’t count on your fingers and toes the times last season that Auburn Douchebags would call up Paul Finebaum and swear on their mother’s life that the NCAA had already sent THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA a PLOI (that stands for ‘preliminary letter of inquiry’, for those of you that are fans of schools that don’t get dangled over the death penalty in the same manner as a spider over a flame in Jonathan Winthrop’s ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’.) The fact of the matter remains that we’re not going on probation for paying players and Auburn can’t stand it. Hey Auburn, Dre Kirkpatrick is going to play, and pick off what ever garbage that weak armed QB throws, or what ever duck that your Dameyune Craig wannabe can heave. There will be no suspensions of any UA player this year.

The NCAA, however, is full of liberal douchbags that think they are somehow righting social injustices of the 1950’s and 1960’s by putting THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA on probation. Yeah, all you condescending, liberal, elitist pansies are a complete waste of time and resources that steal from the physical labor of college basketball players. Miles Brand and Thomas Yeager never made $4 million dollars a year because 95,000 people don’t care to see them stroke their own egos. 95,000 people will pay $400/ year to see the best football coach in the 21st century, however. Neither one of them could carry Saban or Meyer’s jockstrap.

The simple fact of the matter is that Nate @ 45 is dead on. Julio worked at Zeke’s. And for all you blowhards that are crying foul, it is intense work to be a hand on a fishing boat. I’m sure a lot of his tensile strength was honed while pulling lines on a rocking boat. It’s hard work and Julio obviously did a good job.

And to the punk @ 36, aren’t you full of yourself? You want a standard bammer response? Here’s one, “we just beat the hell out of you, Rammer Jammer Yellowhammer!” 36,,,, as in 36-0??? How appropriate!

As someone that has been out on the Miss Celeste several times, it’s a hell of a good time. For you dirt poor Aubs, the Miss Celeste is a $18 million dollar yacht that is parked at Zeke’s. You know, that really big boat that you wished you could see the inside of, but you can’t because you got a Sociology degree at Awbarn and now all you can do is manage a Jack’s Family Restaurant. And Zeke’s is that white table cloth restaurant at the marina, the one you wish you could eat at but all you can afford is the Microtel in Gulf Shores and McDonalds for your one meal a day during your 2 day beach trip.

But you damn Aubs need to get over yourselves. Nothing wrong happened. And all you Auburn fans can go back to watching your lackluster offense because you won’t be seeing the NCAA do anything to THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA anytime soon. Get over it.

My buddy (who is from Athens, AL) and his friends used to beat the crap out of Anderson’s kid on a consistent basis during his high school years. He said they stopped when he turned 17 because he grew a goatee and started buying beer for them with a fake ID. Nonetheless, he said Anderson is an Auburn fan and that his kid is a complete douche.

While Anderson’s kid had nothing to do with this it’s still worth pointing out for the sole purpose that Anderson lied to the B’Ham News and the Mobile Press Register relative to his involvement with Julio and Mark and their status as UA football players

I just can’t get over that #8 had no idea Athens, Alabama existed. I don’t think I’m going out too far on a limb when I suppose J has spent most or all of his live in the state. I’m from two states over and I’ve heard of Athens, Alabama

Quick clarification.

In the story, it states that Mr Anderson, from Athens, knew of Julio from NEARBY Foley, AL. (This is from the B’ham New article). The Huntsville Times artilce does a much better job explaining. I just thought it was funny that the article made it seem that Athens and Foley are close to each other.

And leave poor Jackie alone, all he did was castrate a bull and win a bunch of games for us. Yeah he cheated (and if you think your school doesn’t cheat, you are a fool) and he got caught. The biggest thing Jackie did at MSU was prove that you could win at MSU, it is not easy but it can be done.

Finally @Nate, I never accused UAT of cheating. I was just asking a question so get your panties out of a wad.

@Alex Hamilton 51
9.9/10. Nailed it on the head. The only deduction comes from improper citation-Jonathan Edwards delivered the sermon ’Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’. Other than that, ++++, would read again.

Julio has a very big johnson and Anderson’s daughter wanted a piece. Mark Ingram was just banging 10 other white girls that wanted to swing mandingo.

MSUDog – another quick clarification: Foley is SOUTH and EAST of Mobile.
Alex Hamilton – Good God Man! Are your fingers bloody?

There is photographic evidence of the Bama fishing outing! See for yourself!

http://loserwithsocks.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/alfishing.jpg

@GuavaSteve: you are correct, brain fart on my part. But my basic premise is still somewhat valid.

I am having fun reading the UAT fans over-reaction. Alex Hamilton is a perfect example of it. I am still LMAO at his post.

You know, I was honestly just thinking to myself this morning, “I wonder how long it’ll be before I see the first UA vs AU flamewar of the new season on EDSBS?”

Thank you guys for christening the 2009 CFB Season. sniff

Two words – jock. sniffer.

we’re gonna need a bigger boat.

To the guy bragging about going out on the Miss Celeste: Your response is even more pathetic as I look at the Miss Celeste directly across Cotton Bayou from where I’m typing. Really, you want people to be impressed because you went out ONCE on a charter boat? Color you bad. I’ll take my “AU sociology degree” over whatever connection it is bammers are supposed to have … ignorance, racism, both? or something worse? … and be happy my own identity isn’t completely tied to how well a number of 18 year olds play football.

All the Auburn fans who make up 75 percent of the population in Orange Beach are crying Col. Reb tears.
