Paige had a 1.66 GPA at this HS and he will probably never have academic problems while at bama.


Auburn graduated this illiterate guy named James Brooks:

"The “problem” he refers to was the revelation that occurred during a hearing in Judge Steve Martin’s Hamilton County, Ohio, courtroom last month regarding delinquent child support payments in excess of $110,000. James Brooks could not read the court documents; this after graduating from Warner Robins High School in Georgia in 1977 and after spending at least four years at Auburn University in Alabama.
When asked by the judge how he graduated from Auburn, Brooks said, “I didn’t have to go to class.”
If not knowing how to read was the secret James Brooks kept, “performing in his football role,” as Jack Brennan of the Cincinnati Bengals said, was something James Brooks, as a player, always made sure you remembered."

And this has a bearing on what is happening here? Are you really pulling stuff up from 30 years ago? Or are you saying he is as dumb as Brooks and it is OK for Bama to take him? Why bring up Auburn at all?

Yeah, Auburn is the only college that graduates dumbasses.

FYI: Tez Doolittle never went to class either. He'd show up on the first day, take roll, and never come again. In fact, he didn't even try to be sly about it. A nerdy little white guy would always come take his tests.

Moral of the story: It happens everywhere, it just isn't as prominent as it used to be.

Nice deflection, BTW.

This thread was Alabama related and you had to bring Auburn up.
