🏈 Whats the deal - Bama stealing signs?

[BamaFisher]

Heard some grumblings today that Tyler Siskey or some Bama staff were stealing Ole Miss signs on sidelines? I vaguely remember them showing the Bama booth on tv and someone having binoculars, but what's the deal...sour grapes?

Talked about it a little in this thread, not an issue with me. Good thing I don't interact with Ole Miss fans, they'd hate to whine around me with that nonsense.

Yea, there is no "deal" to it.

Here's the issue with the Ole Miss bloggers whining

Even if this were true, does it really make any bit of sense to think that by the time the play is called in (using the BILLBOARDS), that our guy has time to decipher such an elaborate deck of cards, relay that info down to Kirby (who doesn't wear a headset), so that Kirby can relay that information to C.J. or other players, give them enough time to adjust into position, all within less than 25 seconds.....in a HUNH offense? PUH-LEEZ.

Also the coaching box is not the coaches press box and visa versa. Yes we see him look into the binocs and then say something but unless you have the room bugged (and do all of the above) how are you to know what he was saying? For all we know he could have a crush on AJ's girl or maybe he is monitoring visiting prospects and recruits as part of his job, who knows? Yet it takes one blogger with more smarts than Dicky Tracy, Sherlock Holmes and The Hardy Boys combined is able to definitely make such a statement as saying we were cheating ...because in his eyes he says so. What proof does he have? None. And now this vile is being spewed around nationally. Hell even Saban had to field questions about it today. Just stinks of sour grapes and Old Piss.

The point is this is nothing more than sour grapes based on 100% specualtion, tin foil hat syndrome, and a piss poor attempt at that. Ole Miss needs to just move on like the irrelavance they are......and will forever be. By now we should just accept the fact that everyone is going to say we cheat in life. It wasn't that we mopped them up and down the field. Or that our guys and coaches put in more work than any other team in the nation does. Nope, that has nothing to do with it. In their minds we will be cheaters for as long as we win and dominate.

Like I felt when I was playing baseball, if someone steal signs it is up to the people giving them to protect themselves.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

Yup. There is also that issue the blogger failed to mention. Freeze mention they spent two weeks in the spring learning all the new playing cards after Siskey left OM for Bama.

It would have been pretty much impossible for him to have "stolen" their signs IN GAME, radio them down to Kirby (notice he wasnt wearing a headset anyway), and give him time enough to react. This is a pretty ridiculous accusation and if Ole Miss wasn't intelligent enough to maybe change their signs knowing they would be playing an opponent that has a former member of the staff this year, well then they aren't too bright are they?

I think some folks are sore losers

No way it could be the fact that Bama has had a stellar defense since Coach Saban has been at the Capstone, or that Bo isnt that much of a threat at QB as he thinks he is. Yep we stole their play calling. From talking they will beat us to we must of cheated to win. Amazing.

 

[psychojoe]

It tickled me during the game that we slowed down their tempo by changing defenses after they had signalled their play in. They would have been as well off huddling.

 

[bamaraider]

Calling plays from a picture board is pretty stupid anyways. I mean if Todd Blackledge can figure out that the Corvette picture means faster tempo, what does that say about their offense? Reminds me of Auburn in 2011 doing that shit. Predictable and stupid.

How can it be stealing when you show your plays on cardboard.

We will never know I guess... just like I guess we will never know how much Ole Miss is paying some of those top recruits.
