I'm not saying anything will ever come of it, but...

Can anyone decipher that for me?  I don't speak tweetinese.

Basically, the last few letters are actually a link to an ESPN story where Stoops suggested today that the NCAA should give amnesty to players that expose dirty agents. 

Ralph is basically saying that it's time for Agents to start exposing dirty coaches in the NCAA.  He'll start by challenging Saban (Alabama) in Louisiana's and Alabama's Attorney General's office under oath.

I'm telling you, Saban (and I know there are several other coaches, but Saban threw the cup of piss and vinegar publicly first) opened a pandora's box.   Someone is going to have their dirty laundry aired before this all ends.   I don't think it's going away real quick.

I think if the coaches keep pushing, the Agents are going to give them a big "FUCK YOU!" and expose their asses.  Could get ugly.

Just to add to this, the NCAA has ruled that Dareus will sit a 2 game suspension and have to pay ~$1700 to a charity of his choice. It looks like UNC is pretty much going to be the sacrificial lamb with this. Originally it was going to be a 4 game suspension, but the NCAA reduced it to 2 due to "mitigating factors". Alabama's compliance guy said that the NCAA noted that Dareus was "one of the most truthful student athletes they have interviewed", so I'm guessing that is the "mitigating factor".

That might be true, but how fucking stupid (as if it wasn't EPIC FUCKING STUPID already) is that dumb ass story put in the paper about his dying mother. 

Fucking bullshit.  Hilarious. ...and fucking bullshit...all wrapped up in a stinky burrito together.

As far as the whole thing about his dying mother, yeah, it was kind of lame. Did it have something to do with any of this? Maybe, maybe not. Let's face it, the majority of these guys aren't geniuses.

And about the whole "agents are going to turn the tables and expose Saban" deal, put up or shut up. Saban is trying to put a stop to the agents and runners who are breaking the rules, not the ones who are legit and abide by the rules. So it's not like every single agent is out for him. But personally, I don't think we should have skeletons in our closet. If there are some in there, then feel free, because they shouldn't be. But if they're gonna "expose coaches", then do it. Don't sit there and make empty threats just to make yourself look less guilty.

These bad agents that are now bitching remind me of some of our fans, and others who bitch about the NCAA when their team outright breaks major rules. Or the fans that hate Fulmer because he turned us in. One of our players got paid by a booster. We got hammered by the NCAA. NO. SHIT. Because we did something wrong. We have no room to bitch about the NCAA or Fulmer when we screwed up in the first place. Same with these agents breaking the rules. Somebody is trying to do something about them, and they don't like it fucking with their wallets.

That's a lot of money to  college kid, especially one who's as poor and vulnerable to temptation as Saban framed it.

Chump change to a rogue booster though.

I'm sure they won't be picking up the tab though. I'm sure Dareus kept every penny he was paid in a Money Market account, so he should have no problems paying it back.

Does he have to pay back the interest on said money market too?

If there is a time for Saban and Stoops to keep their mouths shut, that time is now. Just my 2 cents. The both of them being so vocal against certain agents is like them both getting on TV and telling the world the MOB is full of shit, also daring the MOB to come find them.

[AUTiger1]

Agree, both should keep their mouths shut and just let it die.  I have to agree with Dr. Louth Holtzh (in my best daffy duck) and let the NCAA and NFL get together and work this thing out.  He said it has been going on for years, it just seems more prevalent now.  With Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, YouTube and what ever else is out there it's easier to get caught doing things than it used to be.

I'll say again...Coach Belittle should keep talking shit, not only about the agents but about his widdle angel Marcel being lured away by Marvin Austin (not naming Marvin, but saying that Marcel was lured away by others...everyone knows who he was talking about.)

And now SPuat is going to appeal?  BWAHAHAHA...Stupid fuckers is, stupid fuckers does.

I'll also say this, SPuat doesn't really want to try and strong the NCAA...definitely not right now while they're swinging a 50lb. mallett around.

From all of the concrete "proof" about Gadsden, Davidson, Hoover, and others not amounting to shit, I'm starting to wonder if maybe ole SPuat has complete control of the NCAA. 

I mean, if all of the evidence has pointed to "just a matter of time," and with 2012 looming, it's looking more and more likely that Nick Saban calls the shots.
