[RollTideFan] TGIF Groaner - (Non)
*2 STORIES* - - - - - (Anybody we know?) Stranded A redneck, a sheep, and a dog were survivors of a terrible shipwreck. They found themselves stranded on an unknown island. After being there a while, they got into the habit of going to the beach every evening to watch the sun set. One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle; a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the redneck. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. But the dog got jealous, growling fiercely until the redneck took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling. A few weeks passed by and lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was a beautiful young woman, the most beautiful woman the redneck had ever seen. She was in a pretty bad way when they rescued her, and they slowly nursed her back to health. When the young maiden was well enough, they introduced her to their evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening: red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze; perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the redneck started to get those feelings again. He fought them as long as he could, but he finally gave in and leaned over to the young woman, cautiously, and whispered in her ear... Would you mind taking the dog for a walk. . Advice from Grandpa This touched me. This once again confirms that the most important information in your life won't come from a teacher, the library or the internet, but from a mentor and on a very personal level. My long-passed grandfather's birthday is coming up, and for me it is a time to reminisce about the long walks we used to take. The long drives. The special trips he would make to pick me up so I could spend weekends with him, and the advice he used to give! Much was wasted because I was young when he died. If he were alive today and sharing his gems of wisdom, I'd be a better man. Those gems were well and good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of grandfatherly advice, came when he paused, looked me in the eye and said, Son ... don't marry a woman with big hands. It makes your pecker look smaller. .

[RollTideFan] Can ya help a brutha out???
Pittman suspended after being charged with indecency November 13, 2003 By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL Eagle Staff Writer A Texas AM University football player has been charged with indecent exposure after police say he masturbated in a university parking lot while smiling at a female student who was trying to park her car. Tate Pittman, a freshman defensive lineman from Odessa, was released Thursday from the Brazos County Jail after posting $10,000 bail. He has been suspended from the team, according to a release issued by AM Athletics Director Bill Byrne. A female student was trying to park her car Oct. 28 when Pittman, 18, pulled up next to her in a Dodge Ram and began smiling at her, according to court records. When the woman walked closer to the truck, records state, Pittman asked her, Can you help me with this? as he motioned to his exposed genitals. The woman contacted College Station police several days later and identified Pittman from a lineup. It was the second time Pittman has been arrested in less than six weeks. He was charged with driving while intoxicated in September but has not stood trial on that charge. Texas AM football coach Dennis Franchione said Thursday he would not comment and directed reporters to Byrne's statement. The statement, issued Thursday afternoon, said only that Pittman had been suspended from the program indefinitely for violating Athletic Department rules and the university's code of conduct. Pittman has not played in a game this season for the Aggies and was being redshirted. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan! Wear a cup!

RE: [RollTideFan] Can ya help a brutha out???
Curious? Heck its plain as day. LSU is coming to town and he wants to have as many weapons in the backfield as he can get. Although I don't think it will make much difference since LSU is like what, 2nd or 3rd in the nation in run defense??? I can't wait till someone connects the dots between Brandon's suspension and this drug bust. And another thing.the articles I've read don't mention anyone else getting arrested nor do they state that the raid took place at Ray's house. It mentions that Ray was at the 'residence', but it doesn't say whose house it was. What we need is a good private eye to get the scoop for us. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kurt rasmussen Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 9:14 AM To: RollTideFan-The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Subject:Re: [RollTideFan] Can ya help a brutha out???

I disagree. Surprised? Ray-Ray is innocent until proven guilty. Do I think he's innocent? No, not really. But you don't throw him off the team until the case against him is proven, and that ain't going to happen this year. I'd be willing to bet that if ScR weren't under a gag-order, he'd agree with me on this one.

I'm tired of waiting...so...you are an idiot whose only parallel is so hUgEly obvious that it goes without naming. You were the first to castigate Hudson for IIRC, being a brother and not being surprised by him getting caught being a normal college student. That is why I named you in particular. Aside from the fact that you are in general an arsehat. In case you missed it, the gist of my message was that it sucks that he was caught being an average college student because he represents UA, or hell AU or UT, and had his mistake publicized. If you are so perfect that you could never have been in the same place and but for the grace of God or luck, you never got busted, then start nailing Hudson to a cross. Otherwise, please do us all a favor and go back to attempting to flame TennDud on Gridscrape as you and it deserve each other. Thank You. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Just out of curiosity, a show of hands from everyone who a) cares that a college student was busted for this (if said student wasn't a football player) and b) was never in a position to be busted for simple possession and/or underage drinking while in college. Maybe because I am squarely in camp B, I can't bring myself to vilify Hudson, or any Aubie or Vile, for this. I agree they should be suspended from the privilege of representing their university for a period of time and otherwise punished. I just don't agree with casting such a person as being as bad as a pedophile, as some of you here seem to want to do. IMHO most anyone who went to college after 1962, or so, most probably could have one of these items on their record. Heck our current and past USA Presidents have admitted (WJC), or should have admitted (gWb), to experimentation whist in college. Heck, most everyone starting college after 1985 could be arrested for underage drinking. If you haven't experimented, then I'm glad for you because you are a different person than I am. I don't care if you're black, white, green or pink-with-purple-polka-dots, unlike some here (tim a...). Most college students in the last 30 years have something in the closet they could have or should have been arrested for, and I really don't care what that was. Let those with without sin(1) BTW, I'm not excusing drug dealers, DUI'ers or other such people/exploiters. I am talking about college students today that enjoy their freedom and experimentation in the real world that we live in. Cheers, Nomex neglige on.

[RollTideFan] Sonja goes to the Doctor
Or was it Devonna? :-) A blonde walks into a doctor's office and tells the doctor she's broken every single bone in her body. That's impossible! says the doctor. The blonde says, No, it's really true. Look! She then touches her leg with her index finger and screams Ouch! Then she touches her arm and yells Eeeew!

RE: [RollTideFan] Can ya help a brutha out???
Am I reading this correctly? Does it say that the search warrant was executed some time after the raid took place? It appears that the raid took place prior to the search warrant being executed and when it was, Ray happened to be in the house and was caught. Also, it sez small amounts (amounts) of marijuana were found on him. Its almost like they had to search his clothing and find very small pieces of weed in different places. If he had a bag or a dube, why didn't it read like a small amount (singular) of marijuana was found...

[RollTideFan] Little Johnny...
Little Johnny was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, policeman, salesman, etc... Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father. My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money. The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring, and took Little Johnny aside to ask him, Is that really true about your father? No, said Johnny, He coaches for Auburn, but I was too embarrassed to say so. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan! Wear a cup!

[RollTideFan] Judge hears arguments in ex-UA coaches' lawsuit
http://www.tidesports.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20031114/NEWS/31114001/1011 BREAKING NEWS: Judge hears arguments in ex-UA coaches' lawsuit By Scott Parrott Staff Writer November 14, 2003 TUSCALOOSA | The legal battle over whether to keep documents confidential in the multi-million dollar lawsuit filed by two former University of Alabama assistant football coaches against the NCAA entered the courtroom this morning, ending without a decision by the judge. Attorneys for the NCAA, NCAA enforcement representative Richard A. Johanningmeier and freelance sports recruiting analyst Tom Culpepper argued that the release of certain documents could damage their clients. Delaine Mountain, a Tuscaloosa attorney representing the former coaches, argued that the defendants were trying to hide things under a barrel, and attempting to keep the truth from the public in the high-profile case. Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge Steve Wilson made no official ruling as to whether to allow The Tuscaloosa News to intervene in the case, but an attorney for the newspaper presented its argument, addressing the rights of the media and the public to judicial proceedings and records, during the 90-minute hearing. The Tuscaloosa News filed a motion Wednesday asking the judge to deny requests by the defendants to keep records secret. The former coaches claim they have been unable to find reliable work since the December 2000 dismissal of former Crimson Tide head football coach Mike DuBose and his staff. Cottrell and Williams were assistants under DuBose. The dismissal followed an NCAA investigation into the Crimson Tide football program that found that UA boosters had offered improper inducements to recruit Memphis, Tenn., high school football player Albert Means and other players.

[RollTideFan] Does this help the skools?
Exxon Mobil Ordered to Pay $11.9B in Nat. Gas Dispute With Alabama Friday, November 14, 2003 MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A jury ordered Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) to pay $11.9 billion in damages Friday in the state of Alabama's suit over disputed natural gas royalties. The jury awarded $63.6 million in compensatory damages and $11.8 billion in punitive damages, a record in the state. We felt Exxon thought they were going to get away with this, said jury foreman Joe King, a Montgomery teacher. We wanted to send a message that they were not, and that this corporation can't get away with doing wrong. Jurors had to find Exxon Mobil committed fraud to return the multibillion-dollar verdict Alabama sought. They deliberated 4 hours Thursday and about two hours Friday. The state sued Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil in 1999, contending the company had violated its leases for natural gas wells (search) in state-owned waters along the Alabama coast (search). The state accused the company of cheating Alabama out of millions of dollars by intentionally deducting too much in expenses for operating the wells. Exxon Mobil's attorneys said the company has followed its leases with the state and owes Alabama nothing. The case was first tried in 2000, when a Montgomery jury awarded the state $3.5 billion. The decision was overturned by the Alabama Supreme Court, which said the jury was wrongly allowed to see an internal oil company memo. That prompted a new trial that began Oct. 20. In closing arguments Wednesday, state attorney Robert Cunningham said the state government had been shorted $63.6 million in royalties and that the loss could have climbed to as much as $930 million over the 30-year life of the natural gas field in Mobile Bay. He asked the jury to return a verdict of up to 10 times the potential loss, or $9.3 billion. Exxon Mobil's attorneys said Alabama used a new kind of a lease for wells along the coast rather than the standard industry lease. The oil company argued that its payments to the state were in line with memos from the state Conservation Department that said the company could deduct the reasonable direct cost of manufacture and transportation. The state hired two of Alabama's top plaintiff law firms, Beasley Allen and Cunningham Bounds, to handle the case on a contingency fee: nothing if they lost and 14 percent of the judgment if they won. __ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan!

[RollTideFan] OU band played Yea, Alabama?
apparently not. http://www.al.com/sports/huntsvilletimes/jpruett.ssf?/base/sports/1068830204105090.xml A couple of usually reliable chaps passed along an amusing tidbit earlier this week, claiming the Oklahoma band played Yea, Alabama'' for Dennis Franchione's benefit during the Sooners' 77-0 rout of Texas AM last Saturday. We tacked a line to that effect on the end of a column about Jeremiah Castille's appearance Tuesday night at the Huntsville Quarterback Club. Turns out, it didn't happen that way. Brian Britt, director of the Pride of Oklahoma'' band, clarified the situation in an e-mail. Though I received hundreds of calls and e-mails during the week leading up to our game with Texas AM requesting that our band play 'Yea, Alabama,' we did not do so,'' Britt wrote. Rather than condoning unsportsmanlike behavior, he said, the band refrained. While many fans would probably be glad if we had played it,'' Britt said, I am sure that many others would be very disappointed in us for doing so. We feel that any sort of personal attack on a visiting player or coach is inappropriate at any athletic contest, and as such, we don't condone or permit such actions by members of our band individually or collectively.'' Britt said the Oklahoma band has the utmost respect for Alabama and its Million Dollar Band,'' that Oklahomans enjoyed their visit to Alabama in early September, and that the unfortunate manner in which Coach Franchione left the University of Alabama is not our business.'' He added: We sincerely hope Alabama and its loyal fans will have many great football seasons in the future. Your football tradition is among the strongest in the country and you obviously have much to be proud of. I hope that sets the record straight and that everyone will understand our decision regarding this issue, even if they choose to disagree.''
