He is three out of the last four.....your point?

In that case, I guess Bama has only won one national championship.

You are always good for a laugh do you miss the ATPB thread? You were a riot on that...

what has he said that proved to be true?
Last week when Jeff Lee was saying Stoops could be named DC as early as that day I said ain't happening. That's a recent one. Check the coaching changes board for that one. Last year on the Saturday before signing day I posted that Cyrus was more than likely going to commit to AU. I posted about a specific conversation I had with someone at Bama and got laughed out of the joint. There are others - like when I said that AU put on a clinic in handling the Cam thing and nothing would happen to them over that even when other posters were swearing (hoping) something would.
To the couple of AU posters who question me - that's cool. No worries here. Just ignore my posts since there is nothing of value for you in them. Also - I've offered to meet up with Parkjas and reach out to my friend with AU contacts so that he could have his doubts addressed. I offered that b/c I like the guy. I'd do the same for probably half a dozen other AU posters on here.
To the AU posters who vouched for me - appreciate it. I really enjoy this site and the interaction with other fans. I think most of you know that I couldn't care less about "e-cred".

I don't question your information, I question the spin you put on the information.

that's certainly understandable that you would do that. I shared Stoops' side of it only b/c that's the side I know. Perhaps Chiz didn't like him either and wanted to go in another direction. It's possible. However, I was told last Tuesday night that Chiz & Stoops had met on either last Monday or Tuesday and that it would take "a boat load of money" for Stoops to take the job. That was told to me by someone who talked directly to Stoops.
When AU posters started mentioning Jeff Lee's whole "could happen today" comments, I reached back out to my friend and asked if Stoops got that boatload of money he was looking for from AU. He said AU had put together something just north of $1M/, but that he didn't expect Stoops to take it.
I shared the side I know. I didn't share Chizik's side b/c it would have been only speculative.

Thanks for catching me up
Glad Aubie doesn't have someone like you working in our AD. I bet Saban knows the background of everyone hired though.
Posted on 12/20/11 at 10:12 am to Smash Mouth Tider
I don't know what you are talking about, everyone working in UA's AD is spawned directly off of Saban. Haven't you heard? He buds. All his little minions, running that shite in TTown
ETA: to the OP, there is nothing going on that doesn't happen when your team has a less than stellar season.

Obviously only the last 4 years count. At least that was what was clearly implied from your previous post.

I don't what the truth is, but I found it hard to believe as a Bama fan too.
I have noticed many Auburn fans back him up though.
Not on everything. He doesn't get it all right and some of the other stuff I don't appreciate him saying because it cannot be proven on here. Nor has it been proven by anyone and I always hold his feet to the fire for that.
However, over the time I have been here he has been right in things he has said. Is he the Auburn Tiger whisperer? No, but offers some insight into a situation here and there. I don't expect everyone to accept what I say, but he was being attacked and bammer or not I offered my support based on what I know of him.
It really is not that big of a deal. This is a message board and you have to take things with a grain of salt. You also can figure out who is a pretender of info and someone who actually has some good info. With that said even the so called paid insiders get it wrong.

It is amazing how the PR departments for universities don't do a better job of knowing their environment. Auburn could be running circles around Alabama if they would get out ahead of stories and make their own news.
The Univ. of Alabama is very good at the PR game. Case in point, the way we used ESPN to manipulate voting to our advantage. In fact, the public relations department/program at UA is routinely ranked among the top 5 in the country. Last year they were the #1 ranked program in the country.

Again what going on with your barner logic with this post????? I wasnt implying only the last 4 years count, just repsond to this...
"Saban's record at LSU/Bama vs. Auburn is 5-5"....
Look like james brooks wasnt the only barner having trouble reading.

and 1-1 in the last two years.*
*insert comment about a bama guy that missed the point, looks like he wasn't the only bammer having trouble grasping the point, here
It'd be a shame if there were ever anything alabama related to discuss, you woudln't know what to do with yourself.

I keep hearing people saying that there is dissension or some kind of underlying problem at Auburn. With the Yeldon decommit and Stoops turning the DC job down, is there something going on behind the scenes that is a bigger issue, or is this just normal stuff that will be rectified quickly?
Serious question. This is not a "bash Auburn" thread. But, it was all over sports talk radio in Montgomery on both the morning and lunch time shows and there were lots of comments that something is going wrong on the Plains. I'm wanting to hear from Auburn fans as to their take on what is happening.
The problem is you are listening to sports radio in the state of Alabama. It is 100% say or do whatever it can to hurt Auburn. It is stupid that grown men take a game to heart to the point they hate buildings, I guess when you don't have anything better in life you can always feel that your buildings are better than others. I call them ballless idiots, but that's a rant for another day.
There is nothing going wrong on at AU. Stoops is one of several Chizik interviewed for the job, Chizik has a timeline for the hire and it isn't influenced by state media or anything else. He wants to go a different direction with the defense than its current course or obvious reasons. On offense Gus left for a HC job, you don't see the media talking about McElwain going to CSU do you? No. What about the fact Saban intentionally tanked McElwain going to Memphis?
Or could it be to keep the press focused on something else other than the investigation into Richardson?
