Bet you did not realize bama assistant coaches actually hired a private investigator back in the 50's to go after a QB they lost a recruiting battle on to AU that eventually resulted in AU's 1957 probation did you?


And AU boosters paid Gene Jelks to spill the beans that got the ball rolling on Bama's first ever probation in the 90s.

Yes, you are correct. John Thrower. RIP.

BTW, it was also viewed as payback as many AU fans believed bama fans were funding Ramsey and paying his attorney a bama booster and alumnus.

It is a cycle at times. Jelks was payback for Ramsey. The T-townmenswear was a direct result of the Cam BS bama fans went after. I mean shite, the NCAA stated they had received like 20,000 letters/calls/ tips from bama fans over the Cam stuff, someone from AU fired back and brought Albetar to light.

Vicious circle at times.
