312234 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Prepare for the possibility that Woodruff is actually the real father of Calloway. Lord, please don't get that rumor started. I saw that earlier today but I considered it rumor (false). But wouldn't that be a curveball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickeminthebuttbigblue 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Anyone know what Woodruff just posted on Turdsquirts.com?? Ok, guy by the poster name petrochem claiming to be DW said he will make comments today about the situation claiming the truth will be heard. Also, he said to look in the Bham news for the story, and that will be the last time he will speak on this. This guy could be a poser though. Also, another poster says BC will be speaking out today. Guess we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 There's a huge difference. The Touhys did not seek out Michael Oher. Their meeting was almost a divine intervention. What happened in that situation was a family with big hearts helping a traumatized child who was in a desperate situation. They always had his best interests in mind, and by going to Ole Miss he was able to keep his support system which helped him to continue to heal and to succeed. It was the best choice for him. The Touhys had money, so financial gain was not a motivator for them, and they didn't have a pipeline of other kids coming to live with them. They were not using Michael. They loved him. The bammer pipeline is a much different and slightly sinister, well organized way of exploiting disadvantaged kids and their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telling tiger 156 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Not that I mind, but if all these people talk, it will be hard to keep all the stories consistent with what they've said already on other occasions.

Autigers71 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 A little change of course, it was discussed earlier about unofficial visits and tickets. I found this on recruiting101 website. In order to set up an unofficial visit, it really just depends. For example, a lot of college football coaches will send out a great deal of invites to their games throughout the fall. With so many juniors on their prospective recruiting list, the college is likely sending out invites. If the recruits receive this mail, they will need to call the coach or the school to tell them that they are coming to visit. Because the three people are allowed in on a pass gate, they will not be able to get extra tickets and sell them. The NCAA probably had issues with that in the past and that is why the pass gate is used. When that happens, the recruits have to bring an ID with them so that they can get into the game. There is no limit on the amount of unofficial visits you can do because you are paying for it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaches came out and said in yesterday's article that BC didn't jave any money, or if he had money Peaches didn't know where it came from. I pointed out earlier that I find it hard to believe that BC had the money to go to Pensacola, pay for half his suite, and eat for two days. http://auburn.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1210555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 On the Roundtable, it was just stated that at one time, "Woodruff posed as BC's asst coach so he could accompany him to games" in turdistan.

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I know none of you know me, so take this how you please, but I work in a profession with a lot of prominent Alabama boosters/rec members/fans due to the fact that Alabama has one of two graduate programs in the state for my profession ( I attended the other by the way). Let me say, after some of my interactions with one in particular (who I have known for a long time and talk a lot of football with), where I asked him (jokingly) how much he and his buddy Peaches paid BC, I am much more inclined to think something may come of this. Judging by his reaction (neither of us has ever gotten upset/heated over any AU UA gossip), I would say there is real heat to this story somewhere.

I have heard no mention of this from my boss, and he is a huge bama fan. I have not said one thing about it. I do not think I want to go down that road. And we talk football all day, every day. I know a lot of folks close to the situation and it is blowing up friendships. Needless to say, I lost no friends over the Cam situation.....I don't know why bammers are so butt hurt over the BC deal that they refuse to talk about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEAugirl 9,635 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 NONE of my Bama friends are saying a peep about this...NOTHING. Very unusually quiet. I think EVERYONE on both sides pretty much thought there was something weird about how the Calloway signing went down. I just think most bama fans thought nothing would come of it. But, all my bama friends I know get very nervous anytime any allegations are made...their track record of late is not that good Around the bowl, down the hole, Rawl Tahd Rawl!

The bammer pipeline is a much different and slightly sinister, well organized way of exploiting disadvantaged kids and their families. While all that may be true, Woodruff & Peachers are simply going to cite the Oher case and claim the situation was similar and all that they were doing was out of concern for the child. I am not sure how the NCAA could prove otherwise unless some money came into the deal from beyond Woodruff. If they do that, they can get them I think.

Maybe they can, but the claim of being an assistant coach is somewhat unusual don't you think? Even though only a rumor. It is apparently a moot point, but no need to claim anything other than who you are if nothing is wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 as for using the movie "the blind side" as a basis for anything, i wouldnt. i read the book and there were quite a few differences. the tuohy's have endorsed the book as the true story. the movie has a lot of hollywood in it. i recommend to read it. some very interesting parts that are not in the movie. especially how he got qualified.
