No but a lot of players don’t when you have a coach who can control players with scholarships and playing time. In the NFL they have to do this on their own.

He was clearly a head case but no major trouble.

what i understand is that he was an obvious case of for "closely monitored" and was kept in check because they knew he was a potential statistic in the making....i live over here pretty close to updyke village and i never heard one word of him misbehaving....doesn't mean that he didn't ,though

He had too much structure. Too many things and a regimented schedule kept him in line. Problem with a lot of the guys in he MLB, NFL, and NBA that either bust or get in trouble. Too much free time and no structure.

Actually, while at UA, he was at an illegal club/house party and someone he was with either shot someone or got shot themselves(I forget).

So he didnt do it himself but he was around trouble. Kicker here is the event was just outside Auburn....

He killed 4 hookers on Senior Night but Scotty Cochran buried them at Denny Chimes.

Little known fact.

I hear the structure bullshite all the time. You can not anything more structured than the military, and kids there get in trouble all the time. Foster was an All-American, and they are treated differently. When was the last time Saban kicked a starter off the team (without an indictment or a womans group protest) ?

I highly doubt he got into any major trouble as the Tuscaloosa police have no problem arresting football players who step out of line. If he was doing anything illegal he more than likely just never got caught doing it.

And anyways, Saban has provided so much structure to these players that they really don't have the time to get into the sort of trouble some of them wind up getting into when they reach the NFL. But when it does happen you do hear about it. McClain got in trouble for fighting when he was here and then you had that group of players who got arrested and kicked off the team for assaulting a student some years back.

Of course not. Rolando McClain didn't even get in trouble in T-town and he used the Dodge Charger the REC bought him to run over a frat boy during a fight.

Skrong pimp hand is permitted in Tuscaloosa if you’re on the Bama 2 deep.

I'm sure you'd feel exactly the same way about it if he didn't play football for Bama

There are some bad guys on this team, have been for over a decade now. They are bad to the bone and they come with mean intentions, nasty to the core.

I'll be real honest, that's exactly what I want to see on the field when I watch football. Good on Tua/Jalen and their bunch of nice, quiet, choir boys - I love them too. But I want some brutal street tough guys on defense in crimson/white.

I remember people talking about how he wasn’t the brightest in the world but did not hear of any criminal acts at Bama. Forget that POS now, he is no longer part of us. We all have those former players we have to write off.
