TigerOne 1,159 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 the only hold up is Saban's graven image statue outside the stadium will have to be bigger than the others so it will cast a larger shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townhallsavoy 2 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 "Tommy Tuberville will be the new Alabama head coach...a reliable source tells me. ALLEGEDLY." OMG!!!!! Did you hear something we didn't? Yes! Tuberville said he's tired of the easy life in Auburn and wants a job paying less money! He and Bama agreed to a five year, $600,000/yr contract. Kodi Burns has also de-committed to Auburn and put on the Crimson! ALLEGEDLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 "Mod edit.."hearing" something = rumor." Somebody said on the suspensions post that they heard it was a failed drug test. It was edited. That would be alleged information, would it not? This post has about as much validity as me saying, "Tommy Tuberville will be the new Alabama head coach...a reliable source tells me. ALLEGEDLY." Dude, think about what you just said. A post was edited making accusing a player about something that was negative without backing it up. Please tell me how info about the UAT coaching search is the same, because I am missing that part. There are older members of this board, and some newer ones, that have built up credibility, so when they post things like this, they are given the benefit of the doubt. Also, the admins and mods have inside sources that can't be revealed and of course are not going to have any links. So, it just boils down to the fact if you guys want to hear things from inside sources or if you just want us to keep it to ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is completely different and the "alleged" rumor about it being a failed drug test is detrimental to his reputation. However, there's no credible source for Saban going to UAT. And inside sources? I work in the Athletic Department at Auburn University...I get all of the "inside" information. Also why not post a link or reveal a source? It would silence the skeptics.

AUesquire 1 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I don't see the big issue with the topic of the thread (Other than I hope CNS doesn't come ) I think it's fine that Wes is just stating what he heard about something that's been the hottest topic in this state for the past month. It's not hurtful to anyone and it may just wind up being the same type of conjecture that most of the print media has put out there since the Iron Bowl. Wes heard something. He put it out there as that and as TM would say.... "Discuss" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubie16 1 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I will agree that there is certainly a gray area when it comes to enforcing rules. I will say that I know this is a private board, and the owners and moderators of the board can do whatever they deem necessary. I won't argue that point...but I think sometimes it needs to be said that they will use their own judgment sometimes. It's a little iffy when sometimes its said "No Link-No Post" like its a inflexible rule, and other times its looked over. I'm not saying it has to be one or the other, but at least acknowledge that its not always adhered to based on a members standing and credibility with others you know? For instance: I've been a member of this board for 3 years now and have plenty of posts, and I have never posted anything that I didn't know to be completely true, but just 2 weeks ago somebody told me to hold onto certain information, even though I knew it was true until I had a link. I felt I had enough credibility on the board to post this information without a link but I guess that wasnt true. Now thats fine, I'm not arguing against that, but at least admit that the rules are flexible and don't put up a charade that these rules are in place all the time.

SupperClub 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I would also like to point out, again, that free speech does not exist on a privately owned board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Are you just ignoring everything we are saying about the sources? These sources are protected and if we reveal them, then you can forget about ever getting anymore inside info. Why does a journalist protect his sources? Take my source for instance...I posted about the whole Juwan Simpson fiasco before it became public. Well, we saw how "unreliable" that was. Again, it all goes back to credibility. It does have to be earned on the board. You say you work in the Auburn athletics department? So, you are telling me that if you hear something real juicy that is not meant to be publicized yet, you are going to name your source, or better yet, put you real name out here on the board with that info?

bigsixfive 328 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 "Mod edit.."hearing" something = rumor." Somebody said on the suspensions post that they heard it was a failed drug test. It was edited. That would be alleged information, would it not? This post has about as much validity as me saying, "Tommy Tuberville will be the new Alabama head coach...a reliable source tells me. ALLEGEDLY." Not really a direct comparison... Spreading information about failing a drug test is unwarranted degredation of character, without substantial proof. This is a job, or career move for Saban. While a very good arguement could be made that acceptance of uat's head coaching position shows very poor character qualities, its not the same as someone spreading rumors about young kids violating state and federal laws.

Being a member of this board for a long time makes you no more qualified to spread rumors than the next guy. Alright, here's your link... A guy from my Sunday school class, who is good friends with the Wilsons (as in John Peter Paul Parker Wilson), informed me that the Wilsons had personally spoken to Saban on several occasions, and that he will be the 107th coach for uat.

If I heard something "juicy" about our football team, I'm not coming straight to this board. I knew Kodi Burns was going to commit here before his little press conference thing...not to mention I knew Eric Berry was a lock at Tennessee. I'll admit I was surprised and shocked to see Enrique Davis commit here so soon. I just wait until it's officially released and then give any information I have about the subject. Look, I was being an ass and my comment should have been a fart in the wind. But as per usual, Ranger12 got me fired up because he responded to it and then deleted everything before I could make a rebuttal. So I rebuttaled anyway because I'm stubborn. HAPPY? I'M STUBBORN! Nick Saban may go to Alabama but he'll be gone in five years. I would say three or four but I think he's a good enough coach to squeak out a win against us somewhere along the line. Alabama's program is done for. I say we deem them "Ole Bama." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
