Did you see the original post that declared that little brother was "unhappy" Are you curious as to where the original poster got that information?

Had the original poster said something to the effect of "I have heard from a friend who's son attends his school that ...". At least that would provide some background. But we just get that he is unhappy.

That is what prompted my post. I don't like declarative statements like that with no background or context. They seem prima facie dishonest to me.

Now that post about the little brother being unhappy is the real hand grenade throwing, not my post. And your inability to see that, and instead, get all triggered and question my fanhood tells me you are likely an internet Schizoid who has spent too much time with his mug in a crt to be able to interact effectively with other human beings.

Or maybe your just offended by facts? I was asking for facts. You prefer to hurl opinion back and forth like monkeys throw feces and the zoo.

Since you asked it: Why do you think they moved to Alabama?

I thought it was apparent.

I think you are wrong about this guy Huddie and you shouldn't have questioned his fanhood.

Are you of advanced age? Because I don't want to be argumentative with a senior who might not be entirely able to follow an argument. So let me back up...

If you read the thread you will see that someone stated that Tua's brother was unhappy. I was asking for clarification and maybe a source or two.

I never said they were not happy. I never questioned why they came here.

If you are a day over four or a day under eighty then your response to my posts are inexplicable. Where in the heck did I imply that these people were unhappy being in Alabama?

I could certainly be wrong, and my wife will attest to that, but it sounds like insinuation to me, and moreover, it's the guy's posts on the rant, more than here, why I wondered.

As noted, it's no big thing anyway. Just an observation. edit: No big thing to me. Naturally, I can't speak for him. He may lose sleep about it. Probably not. If so, I apologize. I hope you don't lose sleep

I think you took his post out of context. He was just giving Boz hell for saying little Tua was unhappy here.

"Which begs the question, why did they move the Alabama in the first place?"

I would still like to know why, in your opinion, they did move to Alabama. It's a simple question. What do you think?

May be. Lord knows I have given Boz a little hell myself.

He still hasn't answered the question though, and it is a simple one.

I accept your apology.

By the way, I've followed your contributions on these boards for many years, all the way back to the TI pre-Shula days. I am a great admirer of your work.
That's why this attack was so inexplicable and hurtful.

Oh well. No harm.

ehh. Ok. Nevermind all the silly shite then. For what it's worth, I have found myself agreeing with you on many points. Just not all.

Let's start over.

I'm glad to see you here on this board. I would probably recognize your other usernames from other boards.

RTR

edit: And reviewing back, I guess I did take the comment out of context. You're right. I missed Boz' first comment about the brother being unhappy.

No sir. You wouldn't recongnize my name. I'm a bit player not in your class prominence wise. Your name is known across the Bama online universe.

People don't always agree with you because your often ahead of the curve. Like with this QB siduation. Sometimes being a thought leader can be very uncomfortable and very lonely.

Sorry working today. I’ve heard baby Tua is unhappy here and wants to go back to Hawaii . It may pass and I’m sure he is home sick. However, my comment about it would be more expensive to move back is true.

That's for sure understandable. Must be a heck of a culture shock too.

Oh I’m sure the culture shock is huge. He may settle down but I heard he’s pretty home sick. I hope we get him though. Red shirt him.

You must know someone really close to the family.

And are you saying redshirt baby Tua? Or redshirt Tua? And how does a redshirt solve the little brother's home sickness?

I'm having a hellava time following you dude.

Several of you seem to be implying that the Tagovailoas acted rashly and should have known that the cultural devide was too great and that any rational human would prefer Hawaii to Tuscaloosa. And yet, of all the schools in the country, Tua wanted to come here. And little Tua said the same.

I have now read every article I can find on Taulia Tagovailoa. Nothing hints at this profound unhappiness that is being alluded to.

I would like you to site your source. I have read Auburn posts claiming Auburn would be a better destination for baby Tua, as he would get more playing time.

Is your source in any way connected with Auburn University?

Sorry I’ve been working and couldn’t get to details.

Yeah I have a source pretty close to the family. No article is going to disclose any of this.

I was saying if Baby Tua comes to Bama to redshirt him.

I don’t cite any of my inside sources sorry and yes Auburn has an eye for him.

Bottom line the family moved here it was expensive and pops needs a stable job. Young Tua is unhappy but may get through it.

Thank for the reply. So your not denying that your source has some connection to Auburn. Good to know.

No not denying that at all. I’m the one who told the Barn people that Jeremy Johnson was trash and they pitchforked me on the rant only to come back and say how did you know lol.

Thanks for your honesty. My first thought was the whole "baby Tua is miserable" narrative reaked of a jealous barner misinformation campaign. It just sounds like something that they would disseminate.

Well the source is neutral I think he is home sick, not sure if he is enough to go home though. Something to watch though. If he does stay LSU and Barn will be all over him.
