passthebiscuits 6,845 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 A few thoughts: 1) typical ESPN OTL. 1 part soft scandal with no substance, then mix with previously published info as if new story. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. 2) I want a job with the law firm. I'd be rich. 3) I know most if not all of the mentors personally and this has trash all over it. Particularly given the rather direct opposition to the story publicly, this doesn't worry me. Compare this reaction to the Person or even softball story. 4) Bama being bama. I'm not a total conspiracist but it's too often to ignore. 5) Jacobs still needs to go. Time to get a new face if for nothing else just to wash the windows. in other news, I'm upgrading Hortons status for the weekend to questionable at 50/50 and T Williams to questionable at 70% chance of return this week. We shall see. Expecting our secondary to be back in full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,822 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 **** ****, ***** ****. ****!!!! Now that I got that out of the way.... Are you freaking serious? Even if we are clean damage has been done in the perception department. Hopefully this is nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,822 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Could this be Antuan Jackson related? Urban loves to to undercut us when we have a stud QB and are a real Threat. Totally throwing ideas out randomly here... What former player could have a reason to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate these same usual suspects in the national media WHO HAVE NOT A CLUE on the comings and goings every day at Auburn who constantly post passive aggressive negative BS about Auburn University. With Schlabach it makes sense since he is a pup but wolken and forde are guys not in the sec footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanFAN 1,665 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Sounds just like the situation at free shoe u, during 2013. We have a topic on it in the Rivals section, here is the article. They also did an internal investigation, found no problem and moved on. NCAA said it was a school issue not theirs. The tutor had tons of evidence and emails. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/01/sports/ncaafootball/florida-state-football.html?mcubz=1&referer=https://www.aufamily.com/forums/topic/158265-florida-state-2013-allegations/ Bottom line is, if they can do it as blatantly obvious as that and get away with it, then the precedence has been set and we will be fine.

TitanTiger 20,472 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Auburn has been investigating it for two months at least and the person making the accusation has yet to produce any proof and the law firm we hired has yet to find any. The player in question has denied it and the mentor denies it as well. I'm calling BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic drive-by media. Espn is coming up on a crossroads, I believe. People are getting tired of them. I think half the ratings problems with NFL is not people avoiding NFL, they're avoiding the networks. Enjoy your lay-offs espn! Bingo. I was just about to post that too. Why go so in depth about the bball and sftball in an article about football? Just another chance to drum up dirt on AU. You're right about ESPN. I've grown tired of being lectured to by the social justice warriors on all their shows. Just give me sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishepa 1,902 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just like the Cam stuff it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Anyone outside of Auburn see's the headline and thinks it's true. Damage is done already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone outside of Auburn already thinks we are cheaters anyway from the Cam deal. I hear it all the time. Had a new co-worker say something at lunch the other day about us buying Cam. It never changes with the media in relation to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think that if JJ is gone that this kind of stuff will stop do you? ESPN can publish it's BS anytime it chooses and I doubt that anyone there cares who our AD is....and in fact, seems that they generally like JJ so does not appear he is the target anyway.

Figured that ...should not have copied your quote. Sorry....but seems some others want to use this unsupported allegation as more justification to dump JJ....as if this is a real story or something. A bunch of BSPN people will never forget Cam...and will use anything to provide an opportunity to rehash that story. I just hate to see any AU person give them the appearance legitimacy.
