🏈 The Yahoo! Sports, end of the summer, bombshell

[Nothing_But_A_Winner00]

Any guesses as to what it could be?

It's supposed to be a 10 out of 10 kind of story about a big-time program. Bama is getting thrown around as one of the possible programs, but I tend to think that's a bunch of message board crap.

Lee County Trade School?

Where did you see that, Lonnie?

 

[Nothing_But_A_Winner00]

Shaggy Bevo, some OSU boards, etc. Nothing of substance, just speculation.

 

[psychojoe]

Not Lonnie, but when I googled it there was a thread about it on TigerDroppings. Apparently Robinson, their writer who has been blasting Tressell and the Buckeyes, let slip in a radio interview that he has a couple of more stories in the hopper that he will release. One in the next week or so, which he rated a 7 on a 1-10 scale, and one in August, which he considers a 10. (He considers the Tressell story an 8.)

Terry, I've heard Bama too, though I cannot remember where it was. I believe it was from a blurb on Sports by Brooks FB page that has since been removed. Something in reference to "when the Bama story drops". I can try to find the screen capture.

At this point if you google it, you will find message board fodder saying it is us, Bama, one of the Florida schools or Texas.

 

[psychojoe]

The only Bama reference I saw was from a Vol forum.

Duder, I think you're talking about this, which was photoshopped.

this has been out there since March (which makes you wonder, if it's this big, how do you keep it under wraps for so long and why would you...), seems most Aggies think/hope it's the Longhorns...

Couple of notes:

A saw a post the other day from someone I've read for a few years now. I don't know him, but he's always been a pretty straight shooter on different topics. Definitely not one of those off his rocker. He said he heard an interview with Robinson the other day and when asked which school would have to vacate the title game first, Oregon or Auburn, he said, "flip a coin."

I don't know if it is true or not.

I included this in the thread about Oregon a few days ago. It's a copy and paste of another persons post, but it is interesting to say the least. Take a minute and look over it...the person was implying it's Auburn, but he's only using what Robinson was talking about at the time in his columns versus what he said on the radio.

Yes, the Tressel stuff was categorized an eight—that's how I remember it, not seven—and he said their were two stories coming up. The next one, Oregon based on the timing, was on the same scale. The one in the fall a ten.

The only thing I've heard about TX was the report and subsequent comments following something Colt McCoy's girlfriend had made about some players getting different things than others. That's true at any school. Now, are some of the players she referred to getting illegal benefits?

I don't know if that's true or not.

I've been told quite a bit but it's not something I wanted on this forum. Hell, you look at other forums and it's all about the "Boom" when it comes to Auburn. It certainly seems NO ONE has learned a lesson. How long were we under investigation before the NOA was sent? Several years. How long on the west coast with USC? Several years. I kept saying—I know I said it enough here that I'd run through all my fingers and toes counting the number of times—USC is going to get sanctioned. Wait.

I've heard from several people that I consider to be influential alums from Auburn and it's about a 50/50 vibe I'm getting. One side is very nervous, the other side continues to claim, "where's the proof?"

I don't know how far, if at all, the NCAA will pursue the allegations of impropriety at Auburn.

I do know, and I have no problems saying so, that I've followed the Colonial Bank story more closely than Cam, HBO 4, etc. And, I know there has been some very shady actions by that group over the last few months. I could easily point fingers and name names. But, I don't want my name linked with any of this. I'll say this. Look no further than Lowder's former attorney, Jack Miller (now passed,) if you'd like. They DO NOT want Miller's sect. on the stand. This is not a story people have talked about in speculation, it's one that family members have relayed on a personal basis. Pretty damn strong source, eh?

LSU has had some issues with recruiting. We are less than two years away from them firing their recruiting coordinator due to some of his actions. Of couse, LSU along with a few other schools are linked to the South Florida story.

FSU has some rumblings going on right now as well. It's not something on Boom, but something on one of his assistants recruiting practices; Craig.

FWIW, I heard Brooks on the radio this morning. He's a very articulate guy, seems well educated. But, we definitely see things differently on a few subjects concerning the NCAA, collegiate athletics, the student athlete, pay for play, etc.

I'll have to say. As young as SBB is he's done a pretty darn good job building it...

OK, more than a couple of notes... :cheers:

Yeah, that was it. Didn't know for sure it was Photoshopped but it doesn't surprise me.

None of us will know until Robinson actually releases it. Most "chatter" I hear leaves it with Texas. We will all see in August.

I will say for it to be a "10" it would have to be something no one sees coming. Everyone has said it is us for how long now? Would it still carry the clout? I won't get into the debate of whether there will be a story on us at some point, but I don't think the August story will be Auburn.

Just my $0.02

would be great if that 10 story would be against the NCAA...

Here you go, Terry. This is the audio of the Robinson interview. The "flip a coin" comment is about the 9:10 mark and it is indeed about Oregon and Auburn expressly.

Personally, I have seen an incredible amount of recent mounting evidence on other sites, that if true, will be quite damaging for the Barn. I really don't think it is anything about us - especially since Saban just published two years worth of secondaries - but I do think that Auburn could be looking at something very serious.

No matter the team when you're on top people try to bring you down. As for the fall splash I think its against Wyoming lol
