AuburnChopper1 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 not exactly trying to "blow up" the infraction, because i don't really see it as a huge deal. i'm applying the same line of thinking that alot of AU folks apply to anything that happens at bama. but, how do you REALLY know it was a mistake? how is it "clearly" a mistake? nobody really knows, except maybe the people who are in charge of issuing the checks. unless you are one of those people, you honestly can't say it was clearly a mistake. Sure he can. It's a mistake when it happens at Auburn. It's blatant cheating when it happens at Alabama. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he can. It's a mistake when it happens at Auburn. It's blatant cheating when it happens at Alabama. Yes it is showing the differences. It is once again proving the theory that there are more fans of UAT football that did not attend the university for which they pull than Auburn fans. Or at least that's what these posts are beginning to show. Uh, I graduated from Alabama. And why does attendance at any university make you a better fan? Most Auburn fans have a thing called "Common Sense". The two of you have proven to lack this trait. You have to be drowning in the Krimson Kool-Aide to think that an accounting error that temporarily affected a walk-on was a sinister recruiting violation....

Your posts today are not supporting your claim to have attended any university. And attendance at the university that you are a football fan of could be argued makes you a better fan for several reasons although it does not guarantee it. Now get a sense of humor.

AuburnChopper1 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Fine...tell ya what. I'll leave it to those people to make those decisions on right and wrong, and also the severity of the infractions. They don't, and probably arent' going to call me for my input.So, since you clearly think that the best way to handle your contribution to this thread is to bake a cake out of fly poo... Then you call and arrange an interview with those involved, and really dig to the heart of the matter sissorman. Report your findings. We'll be interested in your information. Good luck! Till then... Moving on.... I think his point is that you can't assume that it was an honest mistake, just like you can't assume it was intentional. The problem is, you are, absolving Auburn of any wrongdoing because it was an "honest mistake"...at the same time accusing Alabama of secondary infractions that were blatant cheating. We can't report "findings" on the intentions at Auburn any more than we can at Alabama. You choose to assign intention based on who's football team you favor. And that's bias in its purest form. Fine BG... You and Sissors need to rent a compact car, buy a few energy drinks, eat a granola bar, soap the back window with "Auburn or BUST!",and drive to the plains to do a real knock down, drag out expose on our program, so that we can finally put all the wrong doing's to bed. I mean, if the newspapers aren't going to expose these infractions of blatant mis-doings, I'm sure you, with your bold type, and "umm, okay" type assumtions, and responses will bring light to the dark, sinister world of auburn athletics and their minions running the daily covert operations that is, Auburn recruiting. I'm sure this will finally really show what ignorant sheep we silly Aubs are. Good luck with that endevour. However, in the meantime, forgive me if I just roll right along thinking you two are a couple rudi-poos trying compare your issues with ours in an effort to make yourselves feel like Auburn has finally crashed to your level. Not happenin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUmattyD 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 BG, BG, BG... If I have to read one more comment from you about Saban "innocently bumping" into a recruit I am going to vomit. If Saban were at the Publix near his multi-million dollar house in Crown Pointe and some kid from South Florida came bee-bopping down the aisle and ran into him while he was perusing the active ingredients in Metamucil, then you're right, that is accidental contact. When Saban gets on a plan, flies to South Florida, rents a car, drives to a recruit's high school, schedules time with the head coach to discuss specific players and then... oop!... golly gee willikers!... that recruit just happens to run into Saban and have a recruiting-related conversation... that is NOT innocent and it is NOT "bumping into." This act was entirely contrived and it's almost funny for people to say "oops! he bumped into him!" Almost funny, but entirely irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean, imagine how close the two situations are... An Auburn football recruit on Auburn's football field during a sanctioned recruiting visit, during a game. Nick Saban, in South Florida...at a HS game, in the NO recruiting time frame, because that would be wrong...and "bumping into a recruit" at his HS...uh..in South Florida....and then "accidently" talking to him about how he was the type of athlete Bama was looking for..... Your right though BG.. Same thing. Great post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so did CTT. However, neither were infractions that will prove to be grandiose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply commented that your "oops!" defense was ridiculous. It reminds me of this movie I saw one time. This guy catches his girlfriend cheating on him and goes absolutely ballistic. Girlfriend: It was an accident! Boyfriend: What? He was running around naked, tripped, and you broke his ($%@'s fall with your crotch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 You seem to be focused on this prior explanation of it being an accident. I've already stated that I only used that explanation to prove a point. And that I don't, infact, think it was some accident. But I also don't think it was a big deal.

Sorry BG, when I read 10 posts that all use the "oops!" defense, I tend to think that's what you believe. I will work on my mind-reading skills more diligently.

TheDrewYouKnew 3 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You don't seem to get it but heck ill try as well. No one paid this kid 3400 bucks. The kids got his room and board payment from his scholarship to pay for his residency. He wasn't eligible for that and the money was returned once they found out he got it in error. The kid had to pay for his room and board in the end. Getting a flight from a booster and the scholarship fund making a mistake and issueing out money to a kid who is not actively on the team do to his own actions and having to pay that money back is not even CLOSE to the same thing. If the accounting error was key players recieving double payments and the fix was they won't do that again then it would be close. Sounds more like an illegal LOAN to me. You can say you are trying to prove a point, but you are embarrassing yourself. That kind of crap happens. I got a full paycheck from my co-op job years ago even though i only worked a couple days that last month. Automated payment systems tend to err. Get over it. Bama's violations are blatant cheating and you are blind to not see the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
