Don't worry, not a snitch.

I could be sitting on a copy of a signed check from a bama booster to a player and wouldn't do anything with it. Maybe wipe my arse if I ran out of toilet paper, but that is about it.

If anyone deserves the death penalty, it's bama. If they didn't cheat they would have the history of an Ole Miss or TAMU. It's that simple.


Tell us where big bad BAMA touched you.

It's not fear. We just hate too much.

Alabama and Auburn isn't a healthy rivalry.

We may hate each other to death.

Anyone who would take a Dodge over a Corvette needs to rethink everything.

I've never seen an Alabama player with a corvette, and I was in school there during pat white's career. It used to be everyone had a F150 and now it's become mostly dodges. I don't think that staff woulda got that kid a corvette. Who woulda hooked him up with it? Coach Cheese? fricking Dave Radar? You think Joe Kines was offering him a vette?

Food for thought: Pat White was originally committed to LSU, while Nick Saban was head coach there, before eventually flipping to West Virginia...

This article states that Pat White had an offer from Alabama, as well as Auburn.


I read somewhere that Bama didn't offer until January before NSD. Rivals doesn't even list the Bama offer. In any case his choices came down to LSU and WVU. He committed to LSU late in the process on January 26 only to flip to WVU on February 4.

I'm not skeptical that Bama cheats. I'm skeptical that it happened in this case to the extreme that he is claiming. If this kid was enough of a priority to offer a Corvette, why didn't we offer him a scholarship earlier than a month before NSD? Plus staring down the barrel of the gun and almost receiving the death penalty was fresh on our minds . I highly doubt that our program would be that brazen so soon after that arse kicking we received from the NCAA. The only way that I could see this going down would be a rogue booster in his hometown.

Another random tidbit I found interesting about his recruitment:

quote:

. White didn't consider going to home-state Alabama mainly because the school pulled its scholarship offer on his older brother (an all-state running back now coaching at Bluffton University in Ohio) at the last minute.

Could this incident have given him a vendetta against UA? Possibly.

Bama already had Brodie Croyle and signed JPW that same year. They didn't want him as a QB.
