Yeah.

I have serious beef with these Bamers that come on this board and are ALWAYS talking about the past, present, AND future.

It's out of control. Freak needs to end this.

I'm not only talking about the board, but any bammer I meet in person. Also, stop being sarcastic, Got Twelve might take something the wrong way.

Hey, just wanted to say a few things. I spend a great deal of time on TideSports.com. Most of my time is spent in Halftime. It's kind of a family atmosphere there. There is a poster who is from West Texas whose wife also posted. Anyway, she died this morning after an extended battle w/ ovarian cancer. She was 42 w/ 3 daughters...19, 17, and 3. Even though I didn't know her as well as a lot of people on there, it's obvious she was very special to a many of them. It made me think about how even some of the turds on there hold a special place in my heart and I got to thinking about how much grief I've been giving ya'll about this past season's GAME. It's just a lot of jawing. I don't hate ya'll or UT. I do hope we beat you next year, but it's just a game.

In all sincerity I hope you and yours are doing well. If any of you are christians I know this family needs and wants your prayers.

Julio Jones COULD be a great player. So could my 3 year old son. Only time will tell. Or the entire class that we recruited this year could be no better than the yahoos that lost to ULM last year.

What's your point? You were using sarcasm as well - atleast... I hope you were, or you really need to take a look at yourself.

You won't open one thread without on this message board - make that almost any message board - without reading a sarcastic remark.

Dude, relax...

Yes, I was being sarcastic. I italicized "peace" to denote sarcasm. It is an accepted grammatical convention to convey sarcasm on message boards. With you being so astute at sarcasm, I had thought you would appreciate the irony of my link.

My apologies if my faith was misplaced. [Please note the friendly sarcasm]

No - I just wasn't paying enough attention to be able see the italics.

Obviously, I need to look up sarcasm on wiki to further learn the rules of sarcasm. Because I haven't seen that one used here.

But anyway - no harm, no foul.

It's obvious you aren't on Teddyhead's or Rolltidebama's (or whatever his name is) level - so you're cool with us from what I've seen.

Cool...
Yes, I just joined to talk some SEC football. I can't say that I know the other posters, or their habits, but I can say that I did not join to cause anyone any angst. Personally, I just enjoy different perspectives to SEC football.

In hindsight, I should have introduced myself before I first posted...

I reserve the right to talk a little smack in October. :)

When a capital murder trial opens Wednesday in Baldwin County Circuit Court, Foley High's Julio Jones -- the University of Alabama's top football recruit -- is expected to be one of the first witnesses.

Jury selection began Monday in the trial of Labarron Dontae McDonald, 27, who is accused in the May 2007 slaying of Lashane Phipps.

Phipps, 33, of Foley, was killed May 12 while sitting in a Chevrolet Suburban parked near homes on Fifth Avenue in the Aaronville community, north of Foley High School, according to police.

Jones was reportedly riding in a car with the victim on the day he was shot, but was not with him at the time of the shooting, according to attorneys involved in the case.

The football standout, who was considered the top high school football recruit in the nation, was subpoenaed in mid-January, according to court records.

Details of Jones' role in the case were not disclosed, and it was unclear how soon after Jones saw Phipps that Phipps was shot. Jones will likely testify for the prosecution sometime after opening statements, according to Assistant Baldwin County District Attorney Michael Pylant.

Phipps was shot four or five times above the waist, according to Foley Police Lt. David White.

McDonald's attorneys have claimed that he was in Pensacola at the time and could not have committed the murder.

McDonald, a former Foley resident, was arrested at his Milton, Fla., home May 14, according to police.

Phipps and McDonald had a long-standing feud, White said, but a motive behind the shooting was not revealed.

A person who shoots and kills someone while either person is in a vehicle can be charged with capital murder, which carries the death sentence or life in prison without parole, according to Alabama law.

On Monday afternoon, in a motion heard apart from the potential jurors, defense attorneys tried to argue that Foley police had recently tried to intimidate defense witnesses and get them to change their story.

The judge denied the defense motion.

Jury selection is expected to resume at 8:30 this morning, when attorneys on both sides are expected to question the jury panel.

I guess it could point to character...my dad always told me that if I wanted to know where I was in life, just look at the people around me.

for all we know he got a ride to school, practice or the nearest 7-11. I just have a hard time making a character judgment on a kid without having any fdetails
