The white zone's for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

The Red zone's for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There's no stopping in the white zones.

It's about the abortion.

Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

I'm curious as to how long it will take LSUfreak to come with something on this whole home invasion thing.

I'm sure it will be hilarious.

I know kids do stupid shit, get drunk and act stupid, etc. I don't really see a problem with that sort of arrest as long as it isn't a pattern. But damn, armed robbery is a step outside the box. Can't imagine what those guys were thinking. I hope they're stocking up on some soap-on-a-rope, though. I don't see this shit ending up with some sort of probation.

No, they weren't arrested in Tuscaloosa. So they won't have the opportunity to be given ice cream or hailed as "fine young men."

They'll be held accountable for what they did.

It's disappointing. It casts a negative light (unfairly) on the whole team. Proves that no matter what you do, you can't control the stupid decisions some people will make.

All you can do is what AU did. Immediate and appropriate response. It's not what we've seen from Florida, it's not what we've seen from other schools (you know who they are). Disgusted at the stupidity of the players, agree with the stern reaction.

Maybe for the "wheel man" if he cooperates. Only 3 went inside as I read it. Drivers sometimes get a little lighter treatment, and are the ones who want to sing.

I agree, this shit was far beyond just stupid. Kaos said it right too, it was best for Auburn and everyone else for Chizik to take immediate action. These guys were good players, but thats not what sucks. Well, for the Auburns fans it is, both because the loss of talent and it cast a dark shadow. What really sucks is these guys have possibly fucked their lives up for a long long time. Nevermind they screwed themselves the possible NFL careers, the college experience and who knows what else. They have screwed themselves out of freedom and also a road out of destitution. Fucking idiots.

I wonder what Coach Chizik said to them.

Agree. Chiz and Jacobs were not playing around. You cannot let this kind of culture breed in the locker room even if it means it MAY cost you a game or so down the road. Who cares. Letting this behavior go will cost you much greater in the long term. Kudos to both of them for the swift action.

Actually, the first team that comes to mind even more than Florida is Ugger. And look at the culture of their program. Its the norm. Chiz is simply cutting the head off this issue before it can get like that. I think we would all like to believe this is the exception, not the rule. Their immediate dismissal helps to cement this.

Goodwin and Kitchens I am not as surprised by. Dudes are both from rough parts of Atlanta. Booker T and College Park are areas where this is the norm. Where rappers pop up on every corner and many make it big. Listen to the lyrics of their songs and visit these areas and you can easily see how these kids get desensitized to this type of behavior at an early age. Sad really.

To add to GH, I am really surprised by McNurra being involved in this the most. He has been in the Auburn family for several years now.

And yet all you'll hear on the airwaves and message boards is how Chizik's program is out of control, and how "he had to do what he did" therefore you can't give him credit for doing his job. Which there is no "credit" to be given for doing what has to be done, but it's damn sure not something to spin in to a negative...unless you're a fucking bammer.

Richt, Meyer or Saban would have suspended them for one half against UT-Chattanooga. Chiz did the right thing and I don't give a flying fuck how they spin. He didn't HAVE to kick them off the team. He could have stood by his man like Marky Mark in Athens. But Gene did the RIGHT thing. I like it.

Claim College Park where they flip them birds
Trick car alarms, then bend them curves
Chop chop, chunk it up fat man herb

In Decatur, where they pack that heat
And rob neighbors in the night creep, creep
I'll see you later we'll be in them streets
