AUdrew1 3 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 AUdrew1 are you able to see into the future??? lol I wish I could but sadly no. The only thing that I can predict about the future is Auburn men and women will continue to make us proud. Oh and I do have a little good new on the defensive line front from a inside source. But I’ll wait till Philip Marshall breaks the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crime rate is really getting bad here, and it's a scary thing to think about. As we speak, I am having a security system put in my house today. It's bad all over town , and in all kinds of neighborhoods. I really don't blame the University, but I just don't know what the city is going to do about it. I think that the city has grown faster than the police force, and they are just not covering the city well enough. Maybe they are having to spend too much time on "The Strip" to take care of the rest of us citizens. Maybe the University should have to put some restrictions on the students so the police can be free to cover the rest of the city. I don't know if the players that come in are thugs or not, but I don't think that it can be much help to them to be placed with general public in the city. Crime in bad every where these days. I lived in a small small town for a long time, and I noticed in their local paper this morning that they had several robberies lately. It is a shame that people have to be afraid for their lives and property. I love Bama football, but not real happy with the city right now. If Auburn is immuned from this behavior, be thankful, and try to stop progress and not let the city grow any larger. The bigger the city the more the crime. Well, I'll get off my soapbox now.

WinCrimson 61 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 This isn't an attempt to say that the statistics are skewed, but in reality, they're a little misleading. Tuscaloosa has some very exclusive areas and some real holes. The homes north of the river will trump any place in the state in median income, yet, the "western cluster" of Greensboro Avenue is an extremely depressed area. That side of town drives the average income down and the crime rates up. It's all in where you hang out and the decisions you make. Example: If you have "KD Loves the Tide!" on your house that's in the hood, you're basically asking to be raped, as sad as that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
