Sure… Blame the NCAA for The Snowman Jimmy Johns and Hands Up Elder . The excuses fall from the Bammers lips like hock from a cows butt. The buck stops with the head coach no matter how you slice it.

Was JJ a known criminal when Shula recruited him to UA? I didnt think so. Rather, he was Mr. Football in Mississippi, so how was UA to know that they were taking a risk with JJ? Seriously, can anyone respond in a fair way to my point?

Joker- You are pathetic as is the team you cheer for. Who is blame for the pathetic team UAT has fielded the last decade? Any answers? Of course it is the “souther redneck aka API fan” Funny how I meet people from all over the world and ANYONE who knows anything about football at all.. laughs at the ignorace of bammer fans who always have to proclaim things that aren’t true or basically never happen and live off the bear.. you know all the things you do.. People laugh at you.. seriously.. laugh..

Such as yourself, for being the stereotypical “southern redneck aka API fan” who plays into that stereotype outsiders have directed toward this state. You ever think of that, redneck barnie?

Phil Fulmer, Tommy Tuberville, Aubie the mascot, ULM, all of the bammer players that got arrested (10 is it?) The fires in California, The flood in the midwest, the heat in the south, the fact that my neighbors garden died all those are excuses for bammer. They can’t look in the mirror and put the blame where it is deserved hell no they must find someone else to blame.

Chris, i think you misunderstood my question. I guess we have different priorities when picking schools though. I don’t go to frat parties, I’ve never been to the rodeo, I don’t drive a truck, I don’t care about cows, I’ve never seen a chicken, I think trailers are a great alternative for lower income student housing, I can count 10 bars (more than a few other schools that I know of, Maryland being the biggest off the top of my head), I don’t see the problem with Opelika I rarely go there, and if you’ve been at your worst for the last 25 years then yes…

Anyway my question was what is embarrassing about being named Alabama Polytech. I think it was a cool name and sums up what the University is best at. We have a top notch engineering program that is extremely progressive and ranks extremely well in national competitions (robotics, programming, web design, etc). Should Virginia Polytechnic and State University be embarrassed? Should Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute be embarrassed? I don’t really care about the answer. Don’t bother.

Good luck with your criminals and Auburn is 13th in the Nation in win % since 1979 (Title IX restrictions, my barometer for the start of modern college football), Alabama is 18th. Seems to me like you’re a little mistaken on your assumption that Auburn is up when Alabama is down… Unless Alabama has been down for 30 years. Your choice.

This is absurd, just as when the dysfunctional Barnie family tried pointing fingers at ONE professor for the grade changing scandal. Or tried pointing fingers at everyone but Pat Dye for the Eric Ramsey scandal.

Saban can’t control what these guys do off the field, and that’s that. Nobody’s to blame here but the person who committed the atrocity and the ones involved.

Jimmy, you should be ashamed of being an Alabama Tech fan. For crying out loud, that’s the most uncivilized backwoods college in America. Racist frat parties, weekend rodeos, jacked-up trucks, cow pastures, chicken houses, trailer parks, three bars, OPELIKA, and a football team who, ironically enough, only wins when their cross-state superior is at their worst.

It’s great to be an Alabama Tech fan!

Shouldn’t the blame really be on Jimmy Johns? He is a 21(?) year old adult, he knew that slinging rock is bad and he chose to do it anyway. Put the blame on him, it is embarrassing to blame anyone else.

Also, to the NYC guy… why is it a bad thing to be API? Should VT and GT be embarrassed by their names? I like it and it says what we’re good at. Engineering… but Auburn sounds nicer.

Actually that is a highly supervised setting. Or haven’t you been in the military or known anyone in the military? That’s why people with criminal records are allowed out of prison or jail to serve in the Army.

But thanks for playing…go troll your own message boards ass.

Jimmy Johns couldn’t live by himself in an “unsupervised” setting??? Right now, there’re thousands of 18-21 year old men living in “unsupervised” settings in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they do just fine.

OH, I forgot- 24-16, 17-12, and this year we’re going for the MIDDLE FINGER!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! GO DOGS!

Well, we don’t all have the positive public image radiating from our skin the way Tator Tot, Pat Incoherent/Drunken Loser Dye, Pinebox Tuberville, Robert The Probation Maker Baker, Clifton Sex Offender Robertson, Fast With Little Children Eddie Johnson, Illiterate Kenny Irons, Junior Retard Rosegreen, Carnell Free Class Credit Williams, Trey Three Times a Charm Blackmon, etc. etc.
