Browning4AU 413 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I never heard of the "incident" at bama in 2008. I wonder why? Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122361-mcclain-guilty/#findComment-1587524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,140 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Google it. Good luck finding anything more than a follow up story from 2010 When The Bham News stumbled upon the lawsuit filing. Nothing in the Tuscaloosa News or Birmingham News at the time it occured.

Autigers71 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Saw someone say earlier today that his main Counsel was some big shot Attorney out of Cullman. Kind of funny that one of the biggest bag men, post Logan was some Attorney from Cullman. And I think they have some big Attorney from Cullman on the BOT too. Bet ya bottom dollar you will never hear another word about this case. And "Ro" will never do a day.

Tiger n Miami AU83 25 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Google it. Good luck finding anything more than a follow up story from 2010 When The Bham News stumbled upon the lawsuit filing. Nothing in the Tuscaloosa News or Birmingham News at the time it occured. Lets do a quick compare and contrast... Eric Smith - AU fullback. Not all SEC. Not All American. Not drafted by NFL. Basically role player for AU that started 2 years. Offense: Hitting person in back of head after an altercation in a bar. Result: Probably a dozen article written about incident by state media. Entire story known and discussed by both fan bases regularly due to focus by state media. Rolondo McClain - UAT linebacker. All SEC. All American. High NFL draft pick. 3 year starter. Team captain. Enshrined in UAT "walk of champs". Offense: Damn near attempted murder. Hits student with vehicle, not once but twice. Leaves scene. Comes back to scene with more bama football players (unamed of course). Physically assaults him again resulting in permanent injuries, oral surgery, dental procedures, etc. Result: Minimal reporting. No suspension. Mostly swept under rug. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122361-mcclain-guilty/#findComment-1587678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperNova 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 One thing that ex-bama players tend to forget is that they don't have the same "protections in place" outside of Tuscaloosa county.

You are not allowed to benefit from your status as an athlete, beyond that of the scholarship. If he got it from a non-booster, it only impacts his eligibility; if he got preferential treatment from a booster, then it would impact both his eligibility and UAT.

Weegle777 78 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's the perfect situation in turdistan. They have made it such a vacuum and a black hole there, where information just cannot get out. They can bring as many troublemaking kids in there as they want, as long as they are good players, because the state media will not report any wrongdoing unless it involves Auburn. If the same situation like the McClain thing happened in Auburn, and an athlete hit a guy twice with a car, then came back with a group of other players and beat the guy senseless, it would have been NATIONAL NEWS. The headline would have read: TROUBLE IN AUBURN: AUBURN FOOTBALL PLAYER AND OTHER PLAYERS INVOLVED IN GANG BEATING OF AUBURN STUDENT Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122361-mcclain-guilty/#findComment-1588281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
