Mississippi State paying a basketball player named Mario Austin and one other basketball player (I forget his name),


Walter Sharpe...and not trying to argue that folks start rumors, but this certain situation was very very fishy. Both players from Bama and rumored to be Bama locks and actually committed. All of the sudden both of them switch on signing day? Dunno but doesn't hurt my feelings any that Mario Austin was the biggest flop ever out of college and Sharpe the biggest flop in college.

As far as the fishing trip goes. I think it's all bullshite rumors. If it were indeed true, and there were pics, they would be on every message board and blog on the net.

Thank you for proving my point dumbass. Its like the guy that gets arrested 20 times for possession of pot and spends month after month in jail thinking. Hell, the police/laws/rules are stupid, this is good shite and should be legal.

I say stupid, because the NCAA basically considers any outside benifit, of any kind, illegal, because they assume the players are getting it because of their status as players
They have to.

They went on a fishing trip with a booster from another school. How is that harmful?
Not saying it could happen, but what if they both played extraordinarily bad in the Aubbie game and Bammer lost?

That is how it could be harmful, since you asked.

usually i'm really quick on accepting guilty actions. but i agree with this quote. it's gotten a little bit silly/ridiculous. soon enough, you'll have folks harping the bars waiting to see if anyone gives them a free drink.

Anyone with a facebook account can go and find them. I can't link them, as Facebook is a premium website. It wouldn't do any good if you don't have an account.

Regardless, I'm sure you can find plenty of people who've seen the photos on Facebook.

confirm those two players went fishing with an Auburn booster, why dont you post some of those pictures? That would end all of the speculation in this thread real quick



For the first time I agree with cc(but you're still a prick) show us some damn pictures so this crap can be put to bed. With this text book thing going on this could not have happened at a worst time as we are waiting to here their ruling. For crying out loud we are just getting our feet under us and now this. M2 is right being a Bama fan is exhausting.

I doubt that is what happened. I guess this is the bama spin to absolve themselves of guilt and say bama did nothing wrong. Again.

As I said, fine by me. Until this pervasive attitude goes away at Bama, they will constantly be in trouble.

you've already bailed on posting all these supposed links? Imagine that.. you can't back up your mouth.
I have proved gumps were spreading rumors about Carnell Williams. One of your fellow gumps even admitted in this thread that your fan base was spreading rumors about Mississippi State cheating in basketball.


If you think I am going to dig up the rest of the rumors gumps have spread about other schools, you are even dumber than I thought.

This. I can see why Auburn's recruiting has suffered the last two yrs since Saban has been here now though. They've diverted funds to P.I. instead of players.

What the hell were these two doing outside of the weight room and practice field? Saban is getting soft.

I have to agree here. CC has already shown a pattern of behavior displayed on tidesports.

That said, there are dozens of posts by Auburn fans on this board (Luke and CPA) to show that the counter is true as well.

I don't expect that at all. I expect you to do what you've done which is pretty much nothing but run your mouth about shite you can't back up. par for the course with you. You're slacking this morning too, I haven't seen anything about a 1940's booster yet, nor any percentage statistics.

Proving what? Its not obscene that Mark Richt can't attend a kid's graduation, because it violates the spring contact rule. Its not obscene that Brandon Gibson was suspened two games because his friendship with a kid, whose father is an Alabama booster, needed to go back at least three months more, when they rode on a plane together. Its not stupid that Jeremy Jarmon lost his senior season for something he didn't even know was illegal to take, even if it was over the counter. I'm not saying there aren't good rules in place, but some of them are more harm than good.
