In a development that is surprising to no one....

[HSVDawg]

Louisiana DA declines to press any charges against Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones due to "lack of evidence". Back to your regularly scheduled Bammer programming.

[JETDAWG]

Do we @ MSU have are lawyers ready to get Simmons cleared, "if Bama can we can" He is a difference maker, we will need him this year.

[Coach34]

Simmons is good to go

[Jack Lambert]

To be honest I am really surprise. I know he is a Bama guy but hell he was in Louisiana and he did not sign with LSU. I figure that would have been his death nail.

[msbulldog]

They jus 'takin care of bizness in Monroe"!

Well for one thing, program's of Bama's stature can afford to have a lot of pull pretty much anywhere. But even without all that being taken into consideration, this is still a first time offender and a nonviolent crime. Even if had been some random guy off the street and not a future 1st round pick, it still probably would have been pled down to a misdemeanor and handled by probation and community service. That is just the reality of the US legal system.

Except for being suspended for the season opener.

"I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning," district attorney Jerry Jones told KNOE-TV.
Wowowowowowowowowow

[TUSK]

REC doin' werk.

[mic]

Media will be crickets on this...

[TUSK]

word is the case was dropped due to "illegal/improper search"....

Wasn't there guns in the car also? I realize they didn't use them on anyone but having drugs and guns in the car would make it more serious in my eyes.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

I think we'll be fine in that game...

[FISHDAWG]

word is the case was dropped due to "illegal/improper search"....

so now it's the cops fault ?**

... I'm glad that bunch isn't residing in Grenada Without the Lake

[FISHDAWG]

delete double post

[PassInterference]

Do we have the facts in the case? Apparently other internet warriors must have read the whole case file.

[TUSK]

Do we have the facts in the case? Apparently other internet warriors must have read the whole case file.

based on what little diggin' I've done:

1. Cam & Hootie were "keepin' it real" & got caught smokin' weed in their car...
2. The cops smelled weed, saw a "legal" pistol...
3. Cops searched the car and found a pistol that had been reported stolen (felony)...
4. The Defense challenged the search as "illegal/improper"...
5. DA threw it out do to lack of evidence...

obviously, I wasn't there, it's just what I read...

[I seen it dawg]

One word....new ski boat

[TUSK]

One word....new ski boat

literally "one word": Bargain.

[mic]

Once again the media will be crickets... Hail King Saban...

[HSVDawg]

Once again the media will be crickets... Hail King Saban...

I'm not sure what the media can really say. The charges were dropped by the DA. It's not like they can claim there was some gross miscarriage of justice.

[fccee1]

Someone tried to call me a troll for saying this several weeks ago

[LC Dawg]

According to Ole Miss fans the charges being dropped against these guys means it's only fair that the Rebels should not be punished for their multiple level 1 NCAA violations. Those people just really run from logic.

Check out the DA said about the case....
The media won't touch it because of Saban...

[Behrdawg]

I know Jerry Jones- he's a good friend of a family member. This is not the first time he has done or said this with a young person.

I also know that he has put his own son in prison for breaking the law. Honestly, the guy is legit.

I saw his quote and it was certainly ridiculous. But I read that as more of a way for the state to save face after an illegal search and seizure instead of saying what really happened. Of course it was a pretty poor attempt at that as well, but I don't see anyone except some of the more comedic media like EDSBS really having much substance there to put out a viable story. Other than the guy who evidently got his gun stolen, it's not like there is an actual victim out there like with the Jameis Winston rape allegation or Baylor scandal. Those types of stories tend to go away quietly regardless of whether it's Bama or anyone else.

Never said it was similar to Baylor.. Just saying the media won't tread on King Saban..

[TUSK]

It's "My Dark Lord", or "MDL"...*

Seriously, both you and HSV make some good observations/comments....

[JETDAWG]

do you think that Simmons will start game #2?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

What's the total number of players Saban has processed, I mean kicked off the team for rules violations throughout his time at Bama? He is the master of the indefinite suspension.

Ok... So he will throw the book at his own son, and yet not even press ANY charges against these 2 because he doesn't want to ruin their careers that they have spent working so hard for while we sit under the AC..

He sounds real Ligit...

Sounds like a typical Bama Homer. He probably has a poster of nick saban above the bed to look at when he is making love to his wife.

ooooh, that's a good question... I'd say it's actually a higher number than the SEC average...

lemme research that for ya, I-Dawg...

Jimmy Johns, Robby Green, Altee Tenpenny, DJ Pettway, Eddie Williams, Tyler Hayes, Brent Calloway, Charles Baldwin, Curt Freitag, Jon Taylor, Tyren Jones….


I’m sure I’m missing a few….

Thanks...out of those, how many were expected to be solid contributors going forward prior to their arrest? I know Pettway was "kicked off" to a Juco and then Saban brought him back...of course Jon Taylor doesn't need to be explained, but I'm not sure on the others.

I don't agree with it at all. He should have charged these guys. I'm just saying that this move is legit by his standards. I don't believe that anyone from Bama had anything to do with it.

Baldwin was expected to start this year... Johns was a Shula signee that was good enough to play but couldn't get his head right... same for Calloway and Green...

several of those cats were "5 Star" types, even...

There are some 5*'s mixed in that list. I know Eddie Williams was a stud during recruitment.

And like clock work: http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/06/22/alabama-crimson-tide-cam-robinson-hootie-jones-suspended-discipline?xid=si_social

"According to the documents obtained by KNOE, coach Nick Saban suspended both players indefinitely in May. Both players have also undergone weekly urine tests since the arrest, and have attended appointments with a mental health consultant....

Alabama has not said if Robinson or Jones will miss any games."

In other news, Bama's S&C coach is making $525,000.00....wtf?

[Coach34]

do you think that Simmons will start game #2?

i don't think he will start any this year
