Wonder which girlfriend told on him......

I’m writing an action movie where I infiltrate law enforcement as a sleeper cell and slowly work my way up the narcotics ranks just to warn Alabama players when the sting is about hit so they can beat Hofstra

Nate Oats on his "Hey Coach" radio show tonight on Aden Holloway: "Look, we've got standards in our program. We've got ways we've held our guys accountable. We try to keep everything in-house. Obviously some of the situations you can't. This is one of those. Situation is a little different when we found out what was going on this morning -- I found out this morning. I guess it all went down this morning. We had to suspend him pending the investigation by the UA office of student conduct. We're disappointed in his behavior. With that said, we still love him. He's still our guy. We're going to get him the help that he needs. ... We're preparing to play without him this weekend."


Edit: Bryant beat me to the post but I’ll leave this up for people without twitter, which should be everyone

Definitely commendable. One of the best things about Oats is he really doesn’t give a shite what people outside of the program have to say. He doesn’t care about being dragged and so far I’ve agreed with everything he’s been dragged for.

At the end of the day, no matter what happened with Aden, this is an innocuous and victimless crime. I think it’s dumb and selfish but not something you discard one of your players for.

My Guess is Biz gets this pled down to a misdemeanor after the season is and is on the team next season

I’m not going to downvote you. I think he’s got to be done for this year but you’ve certainly got to give him a chance to learn from this and come back even though this wasn’t a guy with a few baggies of s**t. He had a pound. This is not much ado about nothing. He doesn’t learn from this and doesn’t take advantage of the chance? Then you cut him loose.

Don't blame him. Dude had weed. He didn't rape anyone. Didn't diddle kids. Wasn't selling fentanyl. Just weed. I bet half the coaching staff gets blazed every night.

West Alabama Narcotics Task Force is an absolute joke outfit. I think their game is some sort of scam for trawling federal government drug enforcement grant money. They don't go after anything of substance to improving our community. They do this once per spring sweep where they've gotten enough fratdaddies lasso'd on possession charges to name their "dealers" but it is usually just another college student they got a hookup from one time - or just someone they know who smokes too - not the local harden criminal who they don't even know their government name or the friend from out of town (likely another state) that they regularly get stuff from anyway.

I had a friend in college that got rolled up on these motherfrickers at 4am in the morning when he had not had a flake of weed in his house for weeks because everyone clammed up due to their spring sweep. He never dealt weed. He had nothing but bongs and pipes in the house but these dumb fricks rolled up on his house like they were about to knock the door over for a bunch of glassware.

I want to say this task force had some sort of fraud or misadventure with evidence going missing a decade ago maybe less.

In summary: if they've actually prevented the drugs ruining our communities, it's been by accident. They mostly just do a rotating firing squad of having fratdaddies rat on their least connected friends or some random they smoked up with before and remember their name and thereabouts where they live.

You have to blame him though.

He means he doesn’t blame Oats for sticking by him

Welp, Snoop Dogg just picked us to make the final 4. Coincidence I’m sure.
