Eric Smith

Snaggletiger · « **on:** June 08, 2011, 02:11:57 PM »

So, I heard another rumor today that Smith may be coming back. Anyone have anything on this? Some may not think it's that big a deal but I tend to believe we need this guy badly. Our numbers are going to be razor thin at RB and a big, experienced 240 pound body back there would be huge to me.

Rumors? Gossip? In-your-end-o's?

Chinook's house of porn is running a sweet special today. Half off all midget porn and BOGO on all in stock 2010 model lifelike vaginas. I am thinking I may just go ahead and.....wait....wrong thread. Nevermind. Carry on.

Yes, yes, having Smith back would be huge. Frees lutzy up to do his thing solely.

I already asked about a full-time blocking back and we don't have one.

No worries. We're way behind in the arrests category. Even if Smith gets popped 2....3 more times, we'll still be well behind Georgia and Florida.

I figured if he did come back that it would cement the Fulmer Cup title.

Well, the more I probe to get info, the more this looks to be just a rumor and nothing more. I will say though, did Chizik ever make an official announcement of Smith being off the team? Also, from what I have read from others, he is still going to classes at Auburn.

On another note concerning RB's, there are more rumors that Blakely may actually be eligible to play this based on NCAA stipulations concerning the amount of practices and such a player attends.

Serves you right.

I have heard the Eric Smith coming back rumors for a while and there are rumors that he has been spotted at the Athletic Complex and in the weight room. If he is coming back we will see.

Well, judging by Chiziks past actions, I certainly think if Smith is let back on the team it will be after he serves his due. If Coach does in fact choose this then I will go right along with it.

The guy is just bad news. Serves as nothing but a bad influence on the rest of the team. Most of our guys are decent (we have a mix of choir boys, normal kids, and we certainly have our share of "rough around the edges guys") but Eric Smith pushes the rough around the edges guys the wrong direction. I'd just rather he not be representing Auburn University.

You may be privy to info that I don't have, but I would say the bad apples are bad apples. I'm not saying he is a good kid, I don't know him, but the only thing I know from him is what is reported and that is he got into a fight and got a personal foul in the BCSCG, not enough for me to write him off as a trouble maker.

Unless I have missed something, that is all I know about him.

1st Strike: He was involved in the altercation with the student at the bar/party. (I was very willing to give him the benefit of the doubt about this situation until other things showed a pattern of behavior)
2nd Strike: He kicked an Oregon player in the head
3rd Strike: He was arrested for domestic violence against his gf. (this was what he was actually thrown off the team for in February)

I've just heard too many other stories from people I know still living in Auburn about his behavior and attitude around town.
