🏈 Tony Brown Sent Home (rejoins team meetings Weds.)

[utstnx]

big dummy! come on man!

In Brown's absence, junior defensive back Maurice Smith now moves up into the No. 2 spot in Star on the UA defense

You mess with the bull, you'll get the horns! I meant Coach Saban!

Hearing it was pot .

Probably similar to the Clemson guys. Hole he's the only one. I'm stoked to get this going. Hotel is full of State fans...

 

[Bama Ravens]

Hopefully Minkah stays healthy and we have no reason to need Brown.

From what I am hearing the teams in the playoffs were randomly drug tested.
From what I understand there were players on at least 3 of the 4 teams (not sure about MSU) that tested positive.
Bama and Clemson have sent players home, haven't heard anything about OU sending anyone home ... yet.

You have to hand it to the coaches that are trying to do things right (Saban and Dabo) and still successful!
ROLL TIDE!!!

Saw a tweet that suggested that the Disciplinary Council voted to send him home. Similar council sent Dillon Lee and Ryan Anderson home before the Notre Dame game. Makes you think more along the lines of missed curfew or late or missed a meeting instead of popping positive for a drug test. Just my opinion.

I wonder what Lee and Anderson think about all this. They were problematic early on, and now both are big time contributors. Tony is pushing it, we'll see if he is given a chance to come back.

Pretty sure they did the random testing last year

The man is just trying to find a way to balance his emotions and reach that even keel he was talking about

 

[Tidestalker]

I dont think there is a chance he comes back next year at this point.

Agreed. It was slim to none before this event...

Sad thing is, sticking it out would definitely be best for him. Football aside no one develops these kids better than Saban.

Reminds me of the Tenpenny saga honestly... Not saying it will end like that, but the super highly ranked guy with multiple issues who coudlnt get out of the doghouse. Saban actually wanted him to stay. I hope TB does, but it's really unlikely.

They did. As I recall one coach made a snide comment about it last year; Oregon's, maybe?

My gut tells me they drug test at all the championship venues, random player selection.

You are correct. Oregon's coach (Helfrich -sp?) made a comment that implied that his team was the only one tested.

Gameday has now confirmed that OU's DE will not play in the Orange bowl.

Sounds like Brown is out for starting fight with DL, according to AL.com

Player Leadership Council made the decision

Hope he picked the biggest defensive lineman he could find so he could send a message.

You misunderstood. It was the whole DL.

Chuck Norris ain't got shit on Bad, Bad Tony Brown...

Already songs about him.

"Well the South side of Tuscaloosa
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware of a man named Tony Brown

Now Tony, more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot tall
All the downtown ladies call him Hardhitting Lover
All the men just call him Sir

And it's bad, bad Tony Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Tony, he a baller
And he like his crimson clothes
And he like to wave his championship rings
In front of everybody's nose

He got a custom Continental
I'm sure he's got a Charger too
He got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

And it's bad, bad Tony Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well, Friday 'bout a week ago
Tony shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat some pizza for the D-line and ooh, that pie looked nice

Well, he cast his eyes upon it
And the trouble soon began
'Cause Tony Brown learned a lesson
'Bout messin' with the food of a hungry man

And it's bad, bad Tony Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well, the big men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Tony looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And it's bad, bad Tony Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

And it's bad, bad Tony Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Yeah, badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog"

[OldPlayer]

He doesn't seem to like rules. He was arrested shortly after arriving on campus. He's been in Saban's doghouse for actions on the field. Now this. How many think he's done at Alabama?

I'd say starting a fight with your DL two days before the college football playoffs, when you've already got some trouble on your record, is enough to get kicked off ..
