Why not test the veracity of the rumors and take a cue from our Hog friends:  submit a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

UAT is a state school and subject to the disclosure requirements of the statute.

I was under the impression that UA was presented many, if not dozens of FOIA requests that were simply ignored or denied to protect the identity of the students involved.  Right or wrong, they kept it out of the public eye for almost a year.

This is what the mighty Cecil said last week.  Our local sports talk guy was talking about the number of times that info has been requested but ignored over the last year.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

It's more fun to play pretend. 
Bull shit. We did it on our own team. I can't imagine how much fun it would be if we had a hated in-state rival.

You cannot get info about the students. Go for the coaches. Phone records, motel receipts, etc. that were paid for by your tax money. Lots of digging to do, but with luck and good info, you can tie a lot of good stuff together. I would be surprised if any SEC coach uses a state telephone anymore. At least not the smart and/or crooked ones.

I really kinda hate to quote myself, but Bama is the dumb ones. I bet yall could have mucho fun with some FOIs if yall wished to pursue it. It's your legal right to know what your taxpayer money is being spent for.
We got more than we asked for and it led to the demise of Houston Dale Nutt, John White and Frank Broyles in a roundabout way. We have a new regime.
Get info on your own school if yall are not happy with the administration. Its good to know what goes on behind closed doors. Who's calling who? Facts are your friend and they trump bullshit any day.
We had some heros who changed the face of our program and that's the way we did it. If you get get tired of the way things are done at yall's place, or in yall's case with a rival in-state school, the FOI is valuable ammunition. All that is required is sack enough to request it. Our member that requested the info put up with many threats once his name became public. He didn't pussy out and in the long run he prevailed and we cast a lot of demons to the wayside.
It's a helluva story that is not well known. There may be a book on it one of these days. If and/or when it ever comes out, I'll recommend it to yall. It is an inspiring saga of what a dedicated group of diehard fans can do to save the future of their university.

On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk

I didn't know that simply re-posting things from other sites suddenly made me a "source" for all these things...  I'll let one of the other super sleuths handle this.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Take it for what it is worth. You can choose to believe what I say is credible or not. No skin off my back. I think there are a coupe of you over that I trusted with the knowledge of who my UAT contact is when you were over at AUN. I have never bullshitted about the info I get. For example, some of you were privy to the very specific info a gave about the Juwan Simpson story a couple of days before it ever broke in the media. Sometimes I get very detailed info that my contact has no problem with my sharing, just as long as I don't attach his name with it. Sometimes his info is not very specific because he does not have all the details himself, the info may not be 100% reliable, or sometimes he just does not want to speak about at the time. He trusts me and I don't risk our friendship by violating his trust either.

He has told me nothing specific except to say that what he knows is being looked at right now will get Saban fired and UAT put on probation. Saban has not been very good about hiding things as he was at LSU. Also, some issues being looked into involved Shula's last year. As I stated earlier, the Gasden situation is not the only thing being looked at. Folks involved with the UAT athletic department are not sleeping real good right now. People with connections to the football program are not sleeping good right now.

Like I said, I put the info out there, even though it is not much, so you can take it or leave it.

If we did something seriously wrong, and get popped for it, I won't complain... But jeez shit is coming all out and every Auburn fan has Alabama connections.

If I was connected, and I had friends that were Aubies, why in the blue fuck would I tell them jack shit about my program?


Makes little sense to me.
