Ttown menswear guy would call you a liar.
Went on my once-a-year trip to the Univ. Mall today, stepped into TTMW guy's Bama store and there was an obscene amount of product that was produced by our players, many of them players that are still on the team. It was kind of sleazy, or it felt that way at least. How does he get these players' autographs? shite is kind of weird. I would prefer for it not to happen, but...who am i? It is what it is...just my opinion.

Similar to the bars around campus and "lost" tabs.

You would think bama's compliance would have stopped all contact with team members and him by now. Maybe it's from prior. I am sure there is similar shite at most schools, but I would hope not so much from current players
