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.

Must have missed #3. I didn't know that. I don't hear anything from folks that live in AU, I have been gone from there about 12 years now, so I don't anyone there anymore to get that kind of info.

The girlfriend's dad already came out and said it was her fault.

Wait....

Michael Dyer is getting a beating at the hands of Barron and Hightower. He's on the ropes! Here come's the chair! Good Gawd! Won't someone put a stop to this? Isn't there someone who can block for this man?

Wait...That...That's Eric Smith's music!

I don't get it, big Dan.

Oh so this is the 5'11" 315 lb. blocking back Prowler is talking about?
He needs a hat to match that melon.

His name is Ladarius Phillips.

Also Aubie16, Eric Smith never kicked a player in the fucking head. Go back and watch the replay. If he would've kicked anyone in the head, he would've been ejected.

I say welcome him back, then sign Petey up next year.

He may not have kicked him...but he kneed the fuck out of him...

And it was a dirty fucking play...

I know it's Phillips. Don't know how desireable the Smiffs are to Chizik.

Like he said, go back and watch it again. It was in no way dirty. The duck was the dirty one.

Watched it again. Still think it was dirty by Eric Smith.

The Oregon guy blocks him a slightly late, but there is absolutely no excuse for Smith to jump up and attempt to knee him/kick him in the butt/back. Just a stupid decision.

Regardless of whether you believe it was a dirty hit or not, I don't want anybody on the team that has been arrested twice for violence against other people. Especially if one of them was a girl. Domestic violence is pretty high on my list of absolute non-negotiable issues.

We need a Jerome "Stay outta my yard" Bechard type enforcer.

That's what I want too. We need a guy to look after our best interests. Smith caught a few passes and didn't run the ball which was fine by me. But bringing him back IMO would invite a hailstorm of negativity from the usual haters AND do-gooders (many from the AU side) which is a bad combination.
It's not just the behavior of the kid that people will question...it would be the judgement of the HC and so far, Chizik has been untarnished in the way he has handled the team.
And I don't see dirty plays on the field...I see cheap shots and fouls and flags for fouls if the ref sees 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.

Major PR disaster to bring him back. Finebaum and Shane will get 6 months of calling Auburn Thug U out of Smith returning. Will also claim he threatened Chiz to spill the bean on the whole Cam deal, and boosters handing out Benjamins.
