Coaches didn't organize it my ass. Even if somehow they didn't, they should have known when they got there that fans and boosters + prospects on unofficial/official visits + on the AU campus = trouble, and nipped that poop in the bud.
It's funny how different we read things in regards to each others programs. When I read that, I was more convinced than ever that the coaches didn't organize it. An organized event in which 8 out of 23 prospects attended? Some coaches went, some didn't? Parents not there? Doesn't seem very organized to me.
Also, they were right in thinking it isn't a game day activity. Rolling Toomers Corner is no more a game day activity
of an athlete than is the fun of cooking BBQ and drinking beer before the game. It's something fans do, not something the athletes do.
As for someone introducing the 8 guys that were there....why do you think that must have been "organized"? There are probably 15 people on this board alone that could have introduced those 8 guys had we been there...the "Prowlers" of the world would not have needed a cheat sheet from a coach to know who was who and call them out.
Why is it so far fetched to think that once they heard about it they walked up there to check it out? Was that still a bad move? Sure, a coach should have known better than to even be there at all, just to be safe. But the level of intent is what's at question, and I don't think the actions, by any means, demonstrate a clear intent and represent obvious "planning" as you imply by continuing to say "not planned by the coaches....bullshit".
I wonder if Cockberry has ever been to a Bama game?
