Alabama and Auburn should just drop basketball. Kidnappings, point shavings. This trouble just isn't worth 15-19 wins per year.

@Josh_Moon Is the Pollard kidnapping "just another black eye on the program"?

@Josh_Moon 11h
@AUChizad It's a black eye. But "another"? Not many black eyes in Tuscaloosa lately.

@Josh_Moon Why don't you answer this question instead of throwing a fit? More UA player arrests in last 6 months, than AU arrests in 18.
I'm going to be required to back that last claim up.

I'm counting Pollard, their felony four, and of those, Williams committed a second robbery & Calloway was arrested for marijuana possession. Any others? I remember there being others that we hadn't even heard about until later... Also, not counting the two Liner arrests. And I wonder if he's counting the Liner arrest as an Auburn one? Who are our other three arrests outside of the Felony Four?

He's talking about Dismukes, and I forgot that Pike actually was ever on the team. Granted, he didn't make it to the Fall. Quan Bray was arrested for loud music and open container.

Who's the Fullback? Who's the RB? Pretty positive he made those up...

And what other Bama players were arrested? I need ammo!

Actually, he was arrested again in February 2011 when he was kicked off the team, but that was still way beyond the 18 month window he laid out.

Any idea who the FB was before I make a fool of myself?

And no one can think of a single other Bammer arrest in the last 18 months?

UA football player charged with marijuana possession
Posted: Oct 21, 2011 10:18 AM CDT Updated: Oct 28, 2011 10:18 AM CDT

TUSCALOOSA, AL (WBRC) -

A University of Alabama football player was arrested and charged with marijuana possession last night.

The Tuscaloosa Police Department says Brent Cameron Calloway was arrested in the 900 block of Paul Bryant Drive at 12:49 a.m. Friday, Oct. 21.

Officers stopped a car that was driving without lights and noticed a strong marijuana odor coming from the car. Calloway was a passenger in the vehicle. Police found marijuana on Calloway's person and arrested him.

Police charged the 18-year-old freshman running back with second degree unlawful possession of marijuana. Calloway was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail last night. He has been freed on a $1,000 bond.

Alabama football: After leaving Crimson Tide early for NFL draft, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick arrested for marijuana possession

Published: January 18, 2012
By MICHAEL CASAGRANDE — Special to the Ledger-Enquirer

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A week earlier, Dre Kirkpatrick hoisted a crystal football in New Orleans.

His early-morning hours of this Tuesday, however, involved handcuffs in Central Florida.

The now-former Crimson Tide cornerback was arrested just after midnight on marijuana possessions charges in Bradenton, Fla. Kirkpatrick was booked at 12:48 a.m., and released on $120 cash bond.

Another former Alabama defensive back was arrested and booked at the same time on the same charges. Chris Rogers, a senior on the 2009 national championship team, was also processed by the Manatee County Sherriff’s Office.

According to a police report obtained by the Associated Press, Kirkpatrick was the passenger in a vehicle driven by Rogers who was stopped for driving on the wrong side of the road. A drug dog detected narcotics and police found the marijuana on the floorboard near Kirkpatrick’s feet.

Just be careful with the staplers.  At work, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Mark Barron - arrested
Rolando McClain -arrested
Courtney Upshaw - arrested
Dennis Pettway - arrested
Eddie Williams - arrested
Brent Calloway - arrested
Tyler Hayes - arrested
Jeremy Elder - arrested
Jimmy Johns - arrested
Aaron Douglas - arrested
Simeon Castille - arrested
Rashad Johnson - arrested
Brandon Deaderick - arrested
Brandon Fanney - arrested
Roy Upchurch - arrested

Only Dre Kirkpatrick (1/17/12), and the aformentioned Felony Four, plus Pollard fit in the arbitrary 18 month window.

Also, not counting Liner.

I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told Bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

He, without a doubt, loathes Auburn, and conversely, makes any and all excuses to protect Alabama.

Whether conscious or not, he's a bammer as far as I'm concerned.

The conversation he had with me alone proves it.

I mean, seriously, what other industry could someone who supposedly caters to one group of people specifically, trash and ridicule those people as a whole the way that he did in that conversation. Saying Auburn is a joke, and then when called out on it, repeating and steadfastly standing by those claims.

This guy's every bit as bad as Woodbery.

This morning, our local talk show host was saying how amazing it was that no one wanted to talk about either situation.  He said we have one school with a former player indicted for point shaving and the other with a player accused of kidnapping a child and nobody is calling about either one.  He made a good point in saying this should be a talk show host's dream but unfortunately, it's basketball and nobody around here gives a rip.  So he brought Bryan Matthews on to talk AU recruiting.   :thumsup:

That's the rub. I'm pretty sure we have talked the Ward situation to death for 15 months.

It was certainly newsworthy, but Auburn was the victim of a point shaving scandal. Yet, the media, predictably, attempted to spin it as an "Auburn problem". Auburn blew the whistle on Ward. Yet, again, that's a black eye.

A current player fucking kidnapping a 6 year old girl is not worthy of getting printed? At all? And the Ward thing, that has been talked to death for over a year is front page worthy? That's beyond asinine and is, in my opinion, indisputable proof that the Alabama sports media has a clear bias at best, active agenda at worst.

He, without a doubt, loathes Auburn, and conversely, makes any and all excuses to protect Alabama.

Whether conscious or not, he's a bammer as far as I'm concerned.

The conversation he had with me alone proves it.

I mean, seriously, what other industry could someone who supposedly caters to one group of people specifically, trash and ridicule those people as a whole the way that he did in that conversation. Saying Auburn is a joke, and then when called out on it, repeating and steadfastly standing by those claims.

This guy's every bit as bad as Woodbery.

Which is strange because his wife is a huge Auburn fan.

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?  Nothing.  You've already told her twice.
