The CW reports Tyner said Tuesday night the arrest was "humiliating" and said that knowing he was not in possession of drugs, he was embarrassed because he was in a household where there were drugs. He said it was a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wait, gump city leaders are crackheads?

If LSU won every game for the next 3 decades Alabama would still hold a series lead. It seems unlikely they will win 30 in a row as they have only won 27 games total against Alabama since 1895.

It certainly is here. Beating Alabama seems to be what LSU fans crave more than anything.

My bad, I’m not familiar with the municipalities of Alabama. But, the spirit of my post remains the same.

Everyone I know who grew up in Tuscaloosa hates most of the changes that have occurred over the last 20 years. Yet Walt Maddox keeps getting elected. Regardless of office, 21 years is too long for a politician to hold office.

Being serious for a moment, if that’s true then that is just sad. Good honest people can’t move freely in parts of America anymore and I don’t know the answer.
I like to joke around on this board, but this is a serious problem no matter which school you pull for!

It isn’t San Francisco bad yet, but it is clear that local politicians and law enforcement have turned a blind eye to crime - at least certain crimes - so as not to upset their constituents. You see it in most larger cities, but it doesn’t change how much it sucks when you let the inmates run the asylum.
They have let it overrun the city. It used to be contained in certain areas. Now on many weekends the strip becomes a gangland.
Everyone loves to taunt Alabama over Brandon Miller. But that is what led to that. We found out what happens when a gangbanger from Birmingham gets disrespected by a gangbanger from Maryland.

Tuscaloosa has had two mayors since 1981 - Al DuPont and Walt Maddox.

Spring game is possibly the only time some younger players will get extensive tape for other schools to review. Many coaches have spoke to this and pulled back how much of a deal they make of spring ball for public viewing.

I am being serious momentarily
I was told this from someone who attends Alabama.

I made a comment about the type of people on the strip I noticed walking back to my car after the '24 game and was basically called an idiot or a racist.
I know where the high crime areas of Tuscaloosa are (generally speaking, they're places where no one who isn't from that neighborhood has any reason to be, and they aren't near campus), but I didn't realize what the environment on the Strip after games had become because that isn't really my scene.
The problem is people coming in from surrounding areas to hang out and be seen. Unfortunately, some of them come armed and get drunk/high and belligerent.

DeCline is about to start his 3rd season as a head coach with an NCAA team for the first time.ever. At any level.
It's kind of humorous that y'all will be the guinea pig for discovering if he can actually build a program (or sustain what someone else already built).
guess we’ll see what happens

They have let it overrun the city. It used to be contained in certain areas. Now on many weekends the strip becomes a gangland.
Crime is concentrated in a couple of areas: around Bowers Park in the east, around Rosedale and McKenzie Courts housing projects, and in the southwest area around Stillman. None of these are places where students or visitors have any reason to be, and the violent crimes are people in the drug game committing violence against one another. (I'm not forgetting Alberta, it's actually gotten a lot better.)
The situation on the Strip after games is a whole other animal that involves people from surrounding rural areas and communities.
The weakest link in the justice system isn't the local cops, DA's or the mayor: it's the enormous backlog in the court system. It takes forever to move a case through the courts, and people who have no business being paroled are released until trial way too often.
BTW, all this is coming from someone with a pretty low opinion of our mayor. He's past his expiration date, but saying that the city is "overrun" is ridiculous.

When people are told to stay home because of the crime it has overrun the city.
The Tuscaloosa I grew up in during the 80’s and 90’s is gone.
I moved 45 minutes outside of Tuscaloosa a little over 15 years ago because everyone could see it coming.

I lived in Tuscaloosa from 1977-2008. Then I moved 40 miles outside of Tuscaloosa. I still consider myself a Tuscaloosa local, I just don’t have to deadbolt myself inside my house. So yeah, I have a pretty good idea of what is happening.
You can say they keep the crime contained, but clearly it isn’t 100% contained. You have a councilman calling for the end of A day. That isn’t because of what is happening in Rosedale Court or West End.
