Is Bama next?

Bama is the posterchild for major probation.

LOL..Indeed it is. We all know how clean of a program that they have run in Tuscaloosa and there should be no reason to ever doubt their ability to do it right. Their past history clearly shows they have never done any wrongdoings and there is no reason at all to ever suspect them of doing anything but doing it right. Especially from a University that hasnt had over 40+ secondary violations in the past 3 years and sure havent spent more time on probation than not being on it the past 20 or so years. We would do well to model our school after theirs.

So the NCAA is supposed to let Bama do their own investigation over Suit-gate. Any idea on how this investigation will turn out?

An Alabama dillhole with the most absolutely homeristic screen name possible poking fun at any other school about historical cheating? Good Lord.

Where is Investigator Slive when we need him? He was quick to slap Pearl around. And all of this is going on under his nose just down the road.

This is one reason I think that Slive is a farce.

The photo of Pearl with a recruit in his house actually proved a violation. Surely you can see the distinction.

The photo at Pearl's home did prove the violation. What was worse was the fact that he lied about it, got others to lie about it, and that they tried to cover it up. It was idiotic and if he had simply told the truth he would most likely still be working here at UT and the UT BB program wouldn't be about to get reemed by the NCAA. It happened and we'll get what we deserve.

The T-Town photos may not actually prove anything by themselves, but we should all be able to agree that it looks suspicious and they could be considered "proof" if there was anything else that came to light to go with them. Like reciepts or bank records or if a witness to a violation came forward, for example. But as of right now, no other evidence has be brought forward, so a violation of NCAA rules can not be assumed. However, the NCAA should not be willing to accept UA's own internal investigation on it's face value. Honestly, I'll be amazed if the NCAA does accept it and completely drops the matter.

So the distinction may be that the photo at Pearl's home proved a violation occured while the "T-Town" photos do not prove that a specific violation did occur. The photos are, however, very suggestive AND there has not been any other evidence brought forth that completely clears up the situation either. So unless you're willing to admit that you are being a 100% Bama "homer" and are choosing to accept the university's word that all is OK; you have to admit that it does look suspicious and something "fishy" might have occured.

Btw, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a 100% "homer" for your school/team. I am a homer for UT and I make no apologies for it. But even if I am UT to the core, I am also still a relatively rational and reasonable person, so I know there always has been and always will be "things" that go on behind closed doors at most universities that are not completely by the rules.

This WILL BE a fire. The people who are releasing the pictures know that it will be or they would have not made a big deal of it.

I really think that this is a case of one source jumping someone else's story and the facts are yet to come. Stay tuned.

It's been a week. If anyone had more to this story they'd have come out with it. People may still be looking, but I don't think anyone had much of anything right now.

Personally, I hope nothing else does come out of this. I hope it is as innocent as you think it is. I'm pretty sick of all of the scandal and the negativity and would love for things to get back to just being about football. But if rules have been broken at AU or UA or LSU or even at UT (as much as I hate to say that) then I hope they get what they deserve.

That may be, but as a UT fan I like that my school/team plays in THE toughest conference in the country. Playing the best and beating the best is how we get our "swagger" back. Wishing ill on other SEC programs is just weak and bush league. (I'm not directing that as an insult at anyone. It's just a generalized statement.) I think a healthy good natured rivalry is fun and adds to the richness and tradition of college football. When they do actually break the rules they deserve to get caught and punished, but I guess I'm just too indifferent to those other schools/teams to waste my time hoping they get busted for something.

The guy is a journalist not a faith healer. If you have some kind of affliction you might want to call Jimmy Swagert or a priest.

I don't think you are stepping back and looking at the big picture. Nobody is wanting to win through sanctions on other schools. Cheating gives teams an unfair advantage at players coming into the school. Not only does it give the school better players, it takes away from recruits that we or other schools may have gotten. If you think star recruits arent' told "hush hush" about these benefits before they commit, you are kidding yourself.

Volfan76- I get what you're saying and I totally agree that if they're caught breaking the rules then they deserve what they get. I've said as much all along. There are those, however, that do wish for bad things to happen to other SEC programs for whatever reason. I just don't agree with it on principal. This off season has just been filled with so much negativity and it's ...struggling for the right word... disheartening I guess. I'm just ready for some of this to be resolved and put behind us and the focus to be back on the things that make college football great.

Maybe one of these days Brooks or Travis will post a photo of Bama players committing a violation.
