That really doesn't make any sense.

So, the accused are the ones that need to step forward and confirm for Lee that they are who he was talking about? Shouldn't he have done his due diligence and gotten enough info to name them himself?


Be careful you are sounding like an auburn fan.

Show me a reputable outlet in the state that has it as the #1 news story.


It was all Finebaum talked about today, and it was on all message boards and it's a very serious allegation

Ok, you have a point when it comes to Woodruff, Jlee didn't specifically name him, however he has implicated himself

But what about Peaches? He's accused of a very serious allegation that could possibly bring down Bama. Why hasn't he denied it?

He had no problem talking to the media when he was throwing his son under the bus for not honoring his committment to Bama.

Has JLee sent off the package yet? Operation Red Dog part 2 isn't in full effect until that happens..

Why won't Lee name the person? If he did his homework then he would have facts and would stand on those facts? Probably because it's a rumor and he doesn't have a leg to stand on.


Yet it was perfectly fine for the HBO 4 to make claims and not name one person. I love the double standards. Now saying that I don't follow Lee and I am not taking what he is saying as fact. However, as I have learned being on TD is, where there is smoke there is fire, and I will wait to see what happens.

By the way many AU fans on this site have all said if its true then we deserve the punishment.

You guys can crack jokes all you want, but the longer Peaches goes with denying this claim, the more you should worry.

Trust me, I know. After Cecil was accused of asking for $ for Cam and he didn't deny it, after a few days it was pretty obvious it might be true

Just sayin.

This time they are calling it Operation Green Ferret, fwiw. My sources confirmed it just now.

Well, if it's true, thank God Cam set the precedent that will keep us from getting into trouble.

The precedent that if a recruit didn't know AND no benefits exchanged hands he's eligible?

If it's proven that tangible benefits changed hands, it won't matter if the recruit knew.

I'm absolutely convinced Sportsbybrooks is a yankee conspiracy to make the southern states look like inbred rednecks...well, like even bigger inbred rednecks I mean.

Huh? just in the past two years alone, there has been probably hundreds of recruits who have chosen to play at other schools other than AU. And this come up with one player so recruits need to beware?


You miss the point. This move by Lee denotes a sea change in the way your University is conducting their business. For someone like Jeff Lee (who is connected) to call out a high school senior like he did today is a real eye opener. Say what you want about the adults involved, but he was really calling out an athlete who is a minor. Maybe in the past, things were different, but today changed everything for your school. This young man could lose his eligibility or have it delayed because of these accusations.

Don't think for a minute that JL did this on his own without someone of authority at Auburn knowing about it. Again, parents and recruits need to really think about associating with a school that uses the tactics that your school has employed.

Right, the HBO4 made claims without names or proof, but it was accepted as 100% fact.

Now the same people are asking for names.

Come on Bella you saw a lot of the same posts that I did. Many in here jumped on the things those 4 players said like it was GOLD. Of course I am not referring to the more common sense intelligent posters such as you...
