What did Bryant say to Bo Jackson to lose him to Auburn when he was all Bama? 


Bo said himself on his 30 for 30 he was told freshman don't play at Bama. Pat Dye told him he would definitely have a chance to start.

Bo also wanted to play baseball and don't Bryant was too keen on that idea.

I want to know why we threw a screen pass to a guy that had 130 yards for the year with less than a minute left in 1997.



Probably the single worst call in Iron Bowl history. Run the ball, make Auburn use its last time out, and then punt it deep. Your defense had been playing well all game long. The odds of them getting into field goal range after punting it deep with around 30 seconds left on the clock are long to say the least.

Instead you call a screen pass, it gets knocked out, and Auburn recovers inside the 35-yard line.

I would have taken a break from football had Bowden been hired. Can't stand that guy as a coach or a person.

3.Confirmation on AU flags on the moon.
4.Kenny Stabler and daddy drunk driving wreck which ended a local prospect's football career before he got to LSU and the cover up behind it.

On April 11, 2006, Young was found dead in his home in Memphis.[4] Originally thought to be a homicide due to the large amount of blood found throughout the house, local police concluded that Young's death was accidental.[8] This conclusion however is not without controversy due to the implausible explanation given by investigators. According to Homicide Lt. Joe Scott in a press conference, Young tripped while carrying a salad and soft drink up a set of stairs and hit his head on an iron railing. The fall onto the railing opened a large gash across the top of Young's head, causing him to drop to the floor bleeding profusely. After lying on the floor for some time, Young got up and walked bleeding through several rooms of his spacious, two-story house before ending up in his second-floor bedroom. According to Scott, Young walked past several telephones but didn't place an emergency call.

An appeal of the federal conviction on money laundering and conspiracy charges was pending when Young died.

Bo's Mama cleaned houses. So, yeah, Bo was gonna go to Auburn because she cleaned a big Auburn alumnus/supporter's toilet?

Fantastic Ken Donahue/coachcrisp logic in action.

That entire family reeks with hypocrisy.

Bobby Bowden was Art Briles back when local law enforcement and media were more than happy to dig holes and bury embarrassments for ol' Diddy.

What about the "he said" word combination that has got you so confused? I didn't recruit Bo, and I didn't say anything about his mama.
By the way, many wealthy families had maids back then and you can bet your arse that those peoples' opinion carried a lot of weight with "the help".

I'd love to know what was going through Gus Malzhans head when he had all summer to plan for Clemson and he chose to trot out the 3 headed QB carousel debuting the twirlybird specialty.

Some of his offensive plays are head scratchers, I'd like to know his thought process in his game prep during the week
