Interesting then that T.Reed's mother basically accused him of kidnapping her son away from Thibodaux for a visit to AU


so you have no clue what you're talking about is what you're saying with this post.

I'm not guessing. It happened. I suppose it's fine if you don't believe it, though.

How so? I'm trying to find an article or quote where someone says that Trooper said he didn't get a job because of racisim. I can't yet, but still searching.

I don't know or care what he does for AU. I don't care for him because how he acts on the sidelines. Looks like an unprofessional idiot to me.


Yes opposed to the professionalism displayed while your coach is chomping on grass? C'mon dude get off your friggin high horse.

I also love the fact that the bama strength coach does all the same things Troop does on the sideline but bama fans have no problem with that....


Well he does the sames things...but does them while being white and not wearing a backwards cap...

Only thing I can find about Trooper, Wright and racism is a post on volnation by BigPapaVol claiming it happened, and a couple other posters regurgitating it as gospel. I'll keep looking.

Serious question and no flame to the Auburn fans

but it seems AU has had some really questionable recruits brought in by TT...some high profile issues with the Felony 4, Dyer, Pike (maybe a Gus recruit?) etc....and the attrition rate has been pretty bad....do you all think this fact or more perception?

if only we had people selling coke in the parking lot, geting busted for weed, getting arrested for various things, beating up students with the rest of the football team, etc.... and couple that with the losses of players and recruits for factors other than graduation and NFL, if only....

Our attrition rate is lower than Alabama's or UGA's, but we did have the high profile Felony 4, NO DOUBT about that one. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Dyer was not arrested, etc. Zeke likes the ladies and the booze, we cut him loose.

This year we have only 17 open scholarships, so expect us to have MORE attrition over the next year. BTW, I think UGA is signing 30 players this year and has plenty of room. One thing is certain, when it happens, others will say the plains are burning.

According to Rivals, of the 6 players you listed, only 3 were recruited by Trooper Taylor.

Not really outside the 3 dumbasses in the 2010 class.

Everyone has their own opinion about Trooper Taylor.

It's obvious Chizik likes him, and that's the only opinion that really matters.
