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.
Simmons is good to go
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.
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.Quote:

REC doin' werk.
Media will be crickets on this...
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.Quote:

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

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...
One word....new ski boat

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.Quote:

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....Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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...Quote:

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?
i don't think he will start any this yearQuote:
