Bama = Trash program

Am I being naive when I say I genuinely dont feel like Tennessee fans would root for a player even HARDER after he was implicated in a thing like this? I truly believe we wouldnt for the most part. This isn't complicated, its so ridiculous acting like Oats' hands are tied bc no arrest. I've seen players get suspended for tweets

I truly expected Oats to be a better person than this.

For him to shrug this situation off is downright disgusting and disrespectful to the victim’s family.

Tonight just reinforces that Brandon Miller is getting off the hook because of how good of a basketball player he is. Were he a role player, they would have hung him out to dry. As it is, he’s given them 41 points tonight and they have needed every single one of those points.

Pearl had several players messing up. But he did let a bunch of them go. Oats is trash.

That’s one thing Pearl actually done right while he was here.

Normally I wouldn’t be that excited for March Madness when I have this much apathy about how Tennessee is playing right now. But, I gotta say, this March is going to be really fun because it’s not often the entire country has an actual villain to root against in the tournament. Everyone outside of Tuscaloosa is going to be cheering against the Tide to choke. Can’t wait.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

If I'm SC coach I'd just come out and say something horrible about Miller and Alabama and Oats... At least the fanbase gets behind you in an otherwise abysmal season. They may actually just tank now after a heartbreak and we beat them by 30.

This is true but the inevitable “Us against the world ” narrative all the bammers will push is going to be nauseating

At least Bammers will be able to acknowledge that they are indeed villains and no one can stand them.

Apparently a fight broke out during a Miller free throw...

Absolutely no shame in the Bammers. If anything, they get a thrill out of this situation.

While I don’t see it happening, every opposing coach Alabama plays against the rest of the way should make a point to shame not only Nate Oats and the University of Alabama in their post game press conference (as well as their media appearances leading up to the game), but also Greg Sankey who, if my understanding is correct, could take action in this situation.

Brandon Miller absolutley should not be playing basketball. If someone asks you to bring them a gun, when out clubbing and drinking, you should probably use some judgement. He was far too close to everything that happened, to just stand by and allow everything to transpire.

Greenberg's commentary is gross there. He spends the entire game absolutely drooling over Miller, but accuses college kids of violating Ms. Harris' memory for fighting in the stands? Get lost dude

 

[Volprofch05]

Welp, I’m sure glad we beat those a-holes

For real. For all the evil Nick Saban has brought upon this good and blessed Earth, I think his iron fist handling of Alabama's football team has lulled us all into forgetfulness with respect to just how messed up and psychotic your typical Dollar General steak munchin' Michelob Ultra guzzlin' Bammer can be. They're out of the wordwork today and tonight praising the coach and the team, saying "the police didn't charge them, his lawyer released a statement, he's completely innocent, Alabama did everything right." Nate Oats said himself, "can't control everything anybody does outside of practice" and their idiot fans hoot and holler approval. Cheering the whole thing on like gangland shootouts are part and parcel of the Tuscaloosa nightlife. The sort of ugly display that makes you feel sorry for every misbegotten child that arrives on this earth in the state of Alabama, cursed to inherit such an astoundingly digusting genetic sludge.

I didn’t watch the whole game, but from what I did watch, it seemed like Greenberg wasn’t about to comment on anything going on off the court as it relates to Miller. Anytime the lead announcer brought it up, Greenberg couldn’t change the subject fast enough.

That was my impression as well. Im sure him and Oats are buddy buddy. Oh but he made sure to mention GG Jackson's attitude problem

What is perhaps most frustrating in all of this is the idea that a lack of criminal charges means a kid shouldn’t be punished in any way. Poor / malicious actions should always have consequences. Society has become way too tolerant of poor behavior and has in many ways forgotten that being a scholarship athlete is a privilege, not a right. The Bammers exemplify this problem more than any other fan base in the country.

I just heard the line on ESPN by one of the guys in the post game show that echoes my opinion on this 100 percent. "Coaches and players should be held to a higher standard... " There's this little thing called life that is a bit more serious than coaching a game or shooting a basketball. That hasn't been shown in the least in this whole situation regarding Alabama.

And it never will be the case when Alabama is involved. Win at all cost is the Bama way.

 

[Vol49er]

How weird Alabama didn’t use the player that scored over half their points as the victory image? I mean you played him, be proud of it!

 

[SGMVols]

He can drop 40 every game the rest of the year. He will never be known as anything other than the guy who got a hockey assist in a murder.
