Conspiracy, right. The REC controls all media except for clay Travis' Pulitzer Prize winning rumor blog.

After the Kiffin hire, did anybody doubt for a second that he'd restart his rant? Hell, I'll bet his head exploded when he heard about Kiffin coming. Can you imagine having lost to your most bitter rival for SEVEN years in a row and knowing that there's little or no chance of the streak being broken in the near future. THEN having the guy that you pinned so much hope in to bring your withered program back to its glory days, leave your program unexpectedly, in the middle of the night for another school, THEN end up coming back South to work for your bitter rival...all the while knowing that the guy will come into your house, eat your food, whip your kids, and screw your wife year after year after year!...and he'll make you like it!!!
I guess I'd be upset, too.

“They don't belong to no football players,” Al-Betar said. “They sign it over there and they will come here. Most every year they do the same thing.”

When asked whether the volume of pictures suggests eligible players were involved, he said, ‘Hell No!” and asked what pictures CBSSports.com was referencing. He was directed to the contents of the Outkickthecoverage.com post and the Facebook page.

“When people graduate they [sign],” Al-Betar said. “When they are in school nobody's in here.”

Al-Betar added, “This is ridiculous. There is nothing to worry about,” before wishing a good day and hanging up.


Case closed.

quote:

The numbers of items displayed in his store put student-athletes “at risk” with potential NCAA investigations or “sensationalized journalism,” according to Alabama's letter to Al-Betar.


This much remains completely true.

I rode by the University Mall for the first time in years last August to buy a hat. Albetar has two stores in the mall. One was his original smaller store that caused the initial ruckus a few years ago and the larger one where these recent pictures are from.

The main thing I noticed was several signed jerseys and pictures of Albetar with recently graduated players and/or ones that had recently declared for the NFL Draft. Last August I remember seeing a pictures of him with G Mac, Julio, Ingram, Lacy. There weren't any pictures or signed memorabilia from current players but there was stuff from players with very recently completed eligibility. The whole display did reek of someone purposely giving a big FU to people questioning what he was doing.

Clay went to law school at Vanderbilt. However, he is a Tennessee fan. He just likes to make fun of the idiots in the fan base. And yes, he does love James Franklin. I really don't get all the hate, except that people are too sensitive/can't laugh at their fellow fans.

So what? Didn't Finebaum go to Tennessee? The guy's big-time pro Tennessee and anti- Alabama. Always has been.

Are you folks arguing about some story written by a moron? I didn't even know who this guy was. I just realized this was the same guy who used to pay to come on JOX radio - and was, to put it mildly, horrible.

Why in the world would anyone, much less the NCAA, even recognize this piece of shite? You do understand he is lower than the Sports by Brooks guy? The guy is a Tennessee douche bag. You notice this comes out a week after the most hated man to Tennesseans was hired by their most hated rival? Again, douche bag. Period. The Auburn story at least had some reputable reporters (or who were at the time) following it. And they were wrong. This is just trash, because this guy is trash.

Settle down lil feller. You one of the gumps sending him the death threats?

I would be careful, never know when some Gump might follow through and everyone that threatened him would get looked at. We all know crazier stuff has happened with gumps. Recently even.

Not a worry at Auburn. 90% of their players sign with an "X", so you can't really be sure who did sign it.
