I think Nate recruited Rojas because of the lack of bodies and talent down low when he was hired. Rojas is certainly not a bad player and he’s playing hard and giving quality minutes but he’s probably on the lower end of the talent scale for an ideal Oats big man. At the time, Nate couldn’t be very picky. If Rojas was in the next class, I don’t think the staff would pursue him very hard. But I’m glad to have him this year considering all the hard luck we’ve had with bigs.
I can't remember who but someone posted a picture of Rojas from his Junior College days and he was much thinner so I'm thinking maybe he was more athletic at a lesser weight. Could be that CNO recruited one player but when he bulked up he became a different type player that maybe isn't such a good fit.

Did anyone here know he was African-American?
Did I miss the posts where someone brought race into the discussion?
I just don't know why he has to be so sexist in wanting a female coach fired. Possibly racist himself because she's white and he's black. Just sayin...

Ok folks Saint gave our friend Adam a break and he sent a pretty nasty message. We have decided to not let him back. I doubt there will be objections but, wanted to let you folks know.
I object. Because he was funny as hell. Obviously not intentionally. But good comedy doesn't require two party consent.

Unreal the luck Bama is getting in their region
To Auburn's credit, almost everyone in that threat called the op a dumbass.

Who are y’all pulling for in each game?
Saturday - Loyola Chicago, Villanova, Arkansas, and I guess Syracuse. Don't really like either team in that game.
Sunday - Gonzaga, Michigan, BAMA, Oregon
Most of those I don't care all that much though. As long as Bama wins, and Creighton and Baylor lose I'll be happy.

Baylor v. Arkansas and USC v. Gonzaga could be incredible games. At this point, I wouldn't care if COVID protocols shut down the Midwest Region.

frick it. Here's his first message:

No my name is not Adam but I knew if my name sounded too black I never would've been accepted. I don't agree with what you say so I'm banned! Get the frick outta here! #NoBlacksAllowed
Just bizarre.
Lol. I read the thread, and it was fricking hilarious. But that said...
Seeing all of the posts, race was never brought up by anyone. And, by Alabama standards, I'm very socially liberal, and really get pissed when people bring that shite up. There was one sentence, that if you paid close attention to the wording, you might assume it's something a black person might say when using slang. But I've also worked with a shitload of rednecks that speak the same way, if not very similar. And that's really overanalyzing that argument and word choice.
Let's be honest, if you went to every board in the tigerdroppings/SEC rant universe, you'll definitely find some racist stuff. Anyone who's been around can probably guess exactly which board I'm thinking about in particular. But I can't think of anything I've seen written on the Alabama board that's been racist. I can't think of any subtle dog whistles. And I hate racist accusations when there's literally nothing there. There's enough actual racism out there, and obviously false accusations give actual racists ammunition to try to invalidate real racism.
But enough of that.
Another accusation I thought was absurd, was that if you don't agree with something, you'll get attacked. I made this my main Bama board, because of the ability to have actual debates.
I was on BOL for years, before 247 existed. But as it grew in popularity, the homers moved in. And it went from good debate and a variety of opinions, to follow the party line or get attacked. If you try to say anything slightly negative, it doesn't matter what evidence you have to back out up, people there would rather attack you and put their heads in the sand. I'm all about taking the good with the bad.
And it got to the point, and maybe because I was well known for a prank I pulled in Tennessee years ago, where if I made a joke or said something they didn't like, I'd get messages crying about it. Abrell (I think that was her name) was the worst about it. I'd make a joke, and get a crying message about how "and from you of all people." Like, I'm not an insider, I'm not connected to the program, and I don't know anything besides what I read or see. I'm also not an a-hole, but can be a smart arse. Besides opinions or some stats I can look up, the only thing I've contributed there is a dirty joke on a rival. So I came here to get away from that shite.
So I won't always agree with y'all. But this is the only place I've found that's a Bama board that I can disagree about something without being attacked or making people cry. And thank God there's at least 1 refuge for fans that hate a Homer atmosphere.

There are 2 boards riddled with it, but I've never seen anything on this board remotely racist.
But not sure why we're letting this guy dominate discussion in this thread for the past few pages. Let's move on.

What got us on the topic of nuts?
Dearly departed Adam got his panties in a wad because SummerOfGoogle went and refuted his emotionally driven rantings with actual facts, making Adam look like the idiot and or troll that he's been proven to be.
Insults were traded and finally Summer said his humor was as dry as Adam's crusty old balls.
Adam's reply was his only sensible post in his entire brief existence - he wanted to know how Summer knew his balls were crusty and dry. It was, and remains, a valid question.
He also told George to "google deez nuts."
Now, I'm curious about George's browser history.

Lol. It should've been. But I'm also disappointed in myself for forgetting to call them Blowjob Bob's.
Though Oral Roberts would make a good name for a gay pornstar.

I just want to know when will this board accept me for who I am?
A truly shite poster.
I'm appalled that I make people laugh.

Adam has opened my eyes to all the daily racism that goes on here.

I mean the term "smarty pants" was thrown around.
