Is our Bagman better than the Barn's?:)

I know this was said in jest, but, the interwebz is full of exact amounts. (They are getting nuked left and right). Websites deleted a bunch of threads today. I thought the number was low tbh. BUT, the number matches this. You would think they would consider cost of living has risen lol.

This is an excerpt of an interview Terry Bowden gave a few years ago about his time as HC at AU:
One week on the job, Hall came in with a ledger of players who have been paid, who paid the money, how much money and when it was paid. He said we’ve still got 9-12 players that we’re paying $600 per month.
We paid then $12,000-$15,000 to sign. We sign about four every year that we pay.(Former assistant coach Rodney) Garner paid most of the players. He was paid when he was a player at Auburn.(Stacey) Danley is the assistant compliance guy, and he was paid when he was a player. I broke the rules. I said pay it off, and it will never happen again.
Hall said “OK, but you will change your mind.” Katherine came to Auburn as
my assistant, but she worked for Colonial. We were real close. I told
Lowder “We have cash all over.” Lowder said “I told Wayne not to collect more than we had to have to pay the players.” Wayne had a safe in his house wherehe kept the money. Within two weeks of me being hired they told me about paying Jelks.
Nothing was done without Lowder knowing. I will go under oath
and say that Lowder looked me in the eyes and said, “I didn’t want Wayne to collect more money than we needed to pay the players.” I was hiding a dirty secret. We were paying (star running back and current Washington Redskin) Steve Davis and his cousin the fullback.
guys we were paying weren’t any good and weren’t helping us win games. Steve Davis was the exception.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS fifty to 60 men give $5,000 per year. Wayne would collect it. These are all good men. They didn’t ask questions. The coach tells them that everybody cheats so we have to. My first two years we went 11-0 and 9-0-1.
My third year, (assistants Jimbo) Fisher and (Rick) Trickett said, “Hall is on the phone a lot with Lowder.” I thought he was going back to cheating. I told Hall that when the season was over he needed to move on.
I told Garner that I was taking him off coaching for a year. That was the beginning of the end for me. Jimmy Rane was in on all of this. He is high maintenance. Three current Board of Trustees members gave cash to players - Rane, Spina and McWhorter.

Yep. The anticipation of Christmas, the blessings we count at Thanksgiving, and the horrors of Halloween all rolled into this week of the year. Gotta love it!

Read my previous post...a little odd that with all the time coaches are putting in visiting and every minute accounted for. Somehow, a visit by Brad Lester occurred. (Yes, they were dumb enough to put up pics smh)

So, you are saying AU has already bought Brown?

We all know the dirty side of recruiting. Unfortunate because I think that playing for tradition and colors on your back is probably why CFB is all I have left as a sports fan. But call me naive or whatever, I just don't see Butch having anything to do with anything like that.

I'm not saying anything bc what if he ends up picking tn? That would mean what? So, as I've said, threads on a few websites have been deleted today that were pretty specific. Personally, I would hope they stay up and AU gets what is coming to them.

Is this why we also lost Carl Lawson, Lambert, Gabe Wright?
