On Wednesday evening, Kouandjio posted on his Facebook page that he needs space to come up with a final decision.
"Not completely sure," he wrote. "I just wanna be around the family for a while and just wait."
Tuscaloosa paper saying it may come down to a family vote. One thing I'm certain of today, Daddy Kouandjio is not a fan of Auburn.
Per ESPN:
Not sure what to think of that.

Big article in the Tuscaloosa Fucking News with quotes from his dad about how he'd rather he went to Alabama and he "don't know nothing about Auburn, but they showed up at his house last week."
Again I ask -- why is so much of this coming from the motherfucking Tuscaloosa News?
When the reporter they sent to Maryland left -- after the announcement was made -- why did Tommy "there are leaves and sticks in my fucking hair" Deas immediately tell him to turn back? What was the basis of that?
Who has to live this life? Only one guy should get a vote.

I can't find the video online, but I think most of those comments came from an interview with Kristen Kenney. His dad openly stated he didn't think he was making the best decision for his future. Said he didn't want his son coming to him in 2 years saying he made the wrong decision.
I wonder if the rumor floated by an Auburn mod on a premium website about Arie not being happy at Alabama and could possibly transfer has anything to do with Daddy Kouandjio's disdain?
Or maybe a threat of a medical hardship scholly for his big bro happened today...you know "you wont play here or anywhere if your bro goes to Auburn."
The only thing that's really pissing me off is the local reaction.
Could you imagine the media meltdown if a high profile guy who was a Bama commit didn't say shit to anybody, vanished for three days and faxed a NLI to Auburn from an undisclosed location?
Can you imagine the fucking shit on the walls firestorm that would be raging had the Maryland kid said "Yeah, Bama." And then got hauled off by his family and didn't send the NLI?
Can you imagine the acres and acres of horseshit that would flow from every call in show in the state?
But we're just supposed to smile and accept it because "the kids have to do what's best?"
FUCK THAT SHIT.
I told you bastards two years ago that this was a fucking war. You're seeing shots fired today. Good wishes to all the kids! Bullshit.
I still say there's a good chance that I'll be getting an avatar of WE's choosing.
With that said, I do have a serious question that isn't meant to poke and prod. We've seen 3 parents of high profile recruits who have publicly opposed their son signing with Auburn in the last 2 years. What gives?
The only thing that's really pissing me off is the local reaction.If Calloway had come to Auburn, and/or if Kujo does, the cries of "AUBURN'S CHEATING AND NOBODY'S DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT" would be heard daily, and loud for the next coming years.

I ask the same question as Token, though. What gives? I can certainly see the upside of him going to AU from his end. Really, Cyrus could go to any program in the country and still stand out, and still have a career in the NFL. The fact that his parents didn't go with him on his visit is a bit strange. The fact that AU can get in on a kid like this in just two weeks is strange. But, here's something I really don't understand: Nobody here had a problem with Cecil Newton choosing AU for his son. Nobody here had a problem when Brent Calloway's biological father, out of the blue, steered him towards AU. Nobody has a problem with Walt Williams helping steer the Arkansas kids to AU. Nobody has ever had a problem with somebody influincing a recruit to go to AU. No, they're doing what's right for their kid, because all of the other schools is the wrong choice. It only becomes problematic when the kid is steered towards Alabama, and he is a talented kid. We have to be cheating. We offered cash, or cars. Let's just forget the fact that Cam Newton could have banked some cash by signing with MSU, but suddenly for whatever reason, his dad picked AU for nothing. That's not fishy at all.
This has to be historically, one of your most pathetic, whiney and uber-typical posts ever. It's full of half truths, improper comparisons and generally, just fucking ignorant.
This has to be historically, one of your most pathetic, whiney and uber-typical posts ever. It's full of half truths, improper comparisons and generally, just fucking ignorant.You guys thought it was fantastic when Calloway defected. Truth.
For the record, Bama fans have already realized this. We don't wish kids good luck. We stalk their Facebook page and tell them we hope they break their legs.
You can call the Newton comparison an improper one all day long. That's your opinion. It was solely up to Cecil Newton where Cam was going to sign. That was his decision to make. That was OK. But now, Cyrus' parents are putting in their .02 as to where he should go, and you guys are calling foul because they are solely trying to make that decision for him? How is that an improper comparison?
My simple point? It's never fishy when somebody steers a kid towards AU. It's always welcomed. As a matter of fact, he's being steered towards AU becuase of the shadiness of other schools, namely Alabama. But when he's steered towards Alabama? Oh, you better believe somebody got paid.
You guys thought it was fantastic when Calloway defected. Truth.
Calloway was steered towards AU by his father. Truth.
Cecil Newton picked AU for his son. Truth.
Michael Dyer and Keihl Frazier were/are both clients of Walt Williams' prospect promotion company (which is perfectly legal). Truth.
Nobody here had a problem with any of the above. Truth.

Its like he listened to Finescum for his argument, but then forgot half of it. Someone needs to remind him to throw in the FBI every other paragraph to make it authentic.Oh, if you ask people on BOL, I'm one of the "barner lurkers" because of how stupid I think those threads are. And I don't really bite my tongue when telling them that it's stupid, either. Some of those "insiders" over there are much like Prowler, and it's sad to see some of our fanbase fall into that trap.
Ummm...dead wrong on Calloway. In fact just the opposite. Are you high?The father wanted him at AU. The step-father wanted him at Alabama.
It wouldn't be so fishy if the Cameron Clear story hadn't happened.
Also the fact that we've already had one defect to Alabama because a parent adamantly insisted his son not go to Auburn.
You are a stone cold IDIOT.That's irrelevant. Cyrus wasn't committed to anybody before his announcement, either. The point is, they both have parents making the decision for them. If his parents were telling him to go to AU, then there is no problem. It's only a problem because his parents are telling him to go to Alabama. Therefore, in your eyes, that's fishy and there must be something up. But it wasn't fishy that MSU boosters were going to round up some cash for Newton's signature, and his dad out of the blue picked AU.
Newton did not commit to MSU only to switch on signing day. The fishy finger points back to turdville.

I'm not trying to say Newton was paid by AU. Again, I don't think any SEC program in this day and age is that stupid. I'm showing the double standard here, where it is OK for a parent to get in a kid's ear about going to AU, but not OK about being in his ear about UA. Whether the kid was, wasn't, or might have been committed somewhere else is irrelevant. The only real comparison I'm making in the two situations is the parents input on where the kid goes.
It wouldn't be so fishy if the Cameron Clear story hadn't happened.Who is to say that is indicative of something shady at one school over another, other than you're an Auburn fan so you're going to assume one way, and I'm an Alabama fan, so I'm going to assume the other way? As humble posters on a message board, we don't really know. Maybe he insisted on Alabama because Auburn offered him money, and his career would be ruined if anybody found out and he committed to AU. Maybe Alabama offered his step-father cash, and they really need it. We're both going to see it different ways. I choose to simply believe that neither school did anything shady, and his step-father thinks Alabama is the best choice for him. If that makes me a sheep, then baaaaa.
Also the fact that we've already had one defect to Alabama because a parent adamantly insisted his son not go to Auburn.
When you said father, I assumed you meant peaches. Understood.Cecil never interjected after a commitment? HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CHOOSING IN THE FIRST PLACE. He picked AU for his son. Of course he didn't interject after the commitment. He was the sole person making the decision for his son. That's the whole point. If he changed his mind, it would have been simple enough, because he was the one that was making the decisions.
This is different since the guy called a presser, committed and then had a come to Jesus meeting. Cam never did that. Cecil never interjected after a commitment. And that IS relevant.

A decision was never made dude. It was...apparently...down to Auburn and Mississippi State. Cam asked his father's advice. He asked for his guidance. Cam's father felt like the best opportunity was Auburn.But the fact remains, no matter how you pick it apart and put it back together; Cecil ultimately picked AU for Cam, and it was he and he alone who made that final decision. And that is OK. Cam made it widely and publically known that his father would be picking a school for him. That is the one and only real line I'm drawing between the two situations. For all we know, privately, Cam actually wanted to go to MSU. Hell, he even said in interviews while he was playing at AU that his heart was still in Florida. So, I don't see how my theory could be so far fetched. But, we're not going to actually consider that, because we just don't know. The main complaint I see from AU folks seems to be Peaches' involvement in this situation. The time frame and manner in which things were done is irrelevant to both situations. We're talking about parents making school choices for their kids. Plain and simple.
I garun-god damn-tee you that if Cam had publicialy committed to Miss. State like Cyrus did yesterday, then had a meeting with his father like Cyrus did yesterday, and THEN signed with Auburn, the shit would have been DRASTICALLY worse.
This shit just doesn't add up. Not because of Cyrus, but because this shit has happened before. Cyrus, and Brent, and Chris Jones...and that is just this year...

And as I said to TH regarding parents intervention this year, how is that indicative of one side of doing something wrong over another, other than you choose to believe your side is right, and I choose to believe my side is right? And in the end, none of us know exactly what or how anything went down. All I know, is if it's OK for Cecil Newton to be able to pick where Cam goes, I don't see what the issue with any other parent choosing for their kid, as long as there is no bullshit or violations involved. Parents do things that they think is right for their kids all the time. It's part of being a parent. Some parents think leaving their 4 year old kid alone in an apartment while they go down the road to get meth is OK. It's a matter of perception, I suppose.
Elite 18: Brent Calloway's signature gives Tide edge in recruiting state's best
Russellville linebacker Brent Calloway's change of heart on National Signing Day gave Alabama a narrow in-state recruiting victory over Auburn among the players at the top of The Press-Register Elite 18.
Overall, Alabama signed five members of the Elite 18, while Auburn led the way with nine. LSU, Florida State, Ole Miss and Kentucky signed one each.
Among the seven players at the top -- who were at the center of intense recruiting battles involving the two most recent national champions -- four signed with Alabama and three with Auburn.
The difference was Calloway, who was committed to Alabama for almost a year before announcing on national TV last month that he would sign with Auburn. The state's top prospect changed his mind again Wednesday, giving the Crimson Tide the top player on the Elite 18 for the fourth year in a row. One player is still undecided.
Calloway follows DeMarcus Milliner, D.J. Fluker and Julio Jones as No. 1 players headed to Tuscaloosa. The No. 1 players from 2001-07 include Carnell Williams, Jason Allen, JaMarcus Russell, Nikita Stover, Gabe McKenzie, Andre Smith and Mike McNeil. The most recent No. 1 player to sign with anyone other than Alabama or Auburn was Russell (LSU, 2003).

I bet you agree with this too RWS? This is the same type of spin that you put out here every god damn day...

If Cam was fine wtih his dad picking, then so be it.
If Kujo was fine with his parents telling him what to do, then so be it.
But to crawl his ass AFTER he makes his pick, after he says he told his brother his heart was at Auburn, after he makes the announcement LIVE ON NATIONAL TV... that is just fucked up.
Either they had told him what to say and he disregarded them, or they told him to choose and he did and then they freaked out on him because it was not what they wanted him to do - EITHER WAY that is NOTHING like Cam and his dad having a united front before Signing Day.
If you are giving the kid any illusion that he actually has a say in his own life, then respect his choices even if they are not your own. If Calloway and Kulo were told "Fine, you pick." then STFU! Don't make him look like an idiot for flip flopping.
I bet you agree with this too RWS? This is the same type of spin that you put out here every god damn day...No, I don't agree with it. The article is flawed due to numerous obvious reasons. AU clearly won the in-state battle this year. On and off the field. I don't think Calloway deserves the top spot, either.

Yet you're using the exact same "spin"...If that's the way you want to see it, then so be it. I see it my way, and you see it yours. I could drag this on for pages and pages, but I don't think anybody wants to see it, and honestly it won't get us anywhere. So this might just have to be one of those things we agree to disagree on.
AUGoldmine just tweeted that Cyrus' dad just said Iowa is still an option
Fabulous.
At this point, just go away.
"Without him, Auburn still has a stellar class. Without him, bammer takes a hit."
That came from some ESPN cruitin guy last night. I am too lazy to look it up for a link so either believe me or go find it yourself.
All true, but the kid is good, and HE eants Auburn, and if he wants Auburn, we want him.
....and you better damn well listen.

CUJO!
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio has been the talk of the recruiting world after selecting Auburn on national television Wednesday but getting cold feet and not sending in his signed Letter of Intent. Now the 6-foot-7, 322-pounder has to choose between Auburn and Alabama and many hope the decision will come quickly. So what's the latest?
Kouandjio is expected to talk to Auburn again today.
"I haven't talked to Cyrus yet today," said DeMatha head coach Bill McGregor. "I called him a couple of times last night but he didn't get back to me so I figured I'd just let him breathe for a little bit. But today I will talk to him because I'd like to move forward.
"I don't really know how this happened, if Cyrus wasn't ready to make his choice I would have liked him to have delayed the decision. He can't go wrong with either school, it's just picking which fruit you like better, apples or oranges, and just pick one."
McGregor spoke to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik twice yesterday as well as Auburn assistant coach Tommy Thigpen. This morning he spoke to Auburn assistant Ted Roof. McGregor also spoke to Alabama assistant coach Sal Sunseri, but he is keeping Auburn more in the loop and wants Cyrus to talk to Auburn.
"Because he picked Auburn he needs to talk to them," McGregor said. "He needs to explain to them what he's thinking, what's going on and if he changes his mind he needs to tell them. Alabama is being kept in the loop, but Auburn is the school he chose and they are the ones who deserve to hear from Cyrus."
McGregor is hoping to get his talented offensive tackle on the phone today with Auburn coaches.
"I'm hoping to get him talking to them at noon today and maybe we can figure a few things out," he said. "I'd rather he make his choice and be happy with it because he can't go wrong either way. But if he's not ready, he at least needs to keep them in the loop."
Sources said that most of the Auburn offensive staff spoke at length with Kouandjio last night but a letter clearly has still not arrived. The hope from most is that this will be resolved within the next few days.
There had been some talk that it will come down to a family decision while others say that Cyrus is decided between a pro-style offense at Alabama and a spread offense at Auburn. Regardless, McGregor is trying to move things along.
"I just want what's best for Cyrus and I think he has a can't miss decision," he said. "Maybe today we'll get further."
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio has had a busy couple of days and has talked to a lot of people. Now the 6-foot-7, 322-pounder is getting closer and closer to making his final decision, a decision many thought was made Wednesday on national television.Sounds AU bound. At least, his coach sure seems to want him to be.
Kouandjio is getting closer to a decision.
"I met with Cyrus this afternoon when we had a conference call with Auburn and just met with him again about an hour ago and he spoke to the Auburn coaches again," said DeMatha head coach Bill McGregor. "He's still not 100-percent sure about everything yet but he feels good about it. He doesn't have a timetable though, I read where someone said it would be tomorrow but he didn't tell me that. ESPN called and wanted him to come on the air by phone or on the radio or something, but I think he wants to just keep it low key. When he's ready he'll just call the coaches and tell them and send his letter."
Reports surfaced today that Iowa had re-entered the picture, but McGregor said that isn't true.
"He'll choose between Alabama and Auburn," he said. "Right now he just needs some more time to think about it so I'll call him tonight and see where we're at. He spoke to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik today because Auburn asked me to set up a conference call with Cyrus and them for noon. He also spoke to Auburn coaches this afternoon but I'm not sure which ones. I spoke to Sal Sunseri at Alabama to keep him in the loop but I don't think Cyrus has talked to Alabama at all yet, but I could be wrong. I hope he's getting closer to making a decision."
McGregor has been fielding calls from across the nation regarding Kouandjio.
"I never thought we'd be in this situation," he said. "I wasn't surprised when he chose Auburn and I didn't think anything of it, we had around 15 players there so after the press conference I was talking to people and shaking hands and had no idea he was having second thoughts. I thought he was sure and had made up his mind. Hopefully for Cyrus this will all end soon because I know he's uncomfortable with it as well."
Does McGregor have a hunch where his star tackle will land?
"I think he'll stick with Auburn actually, but I could be wrong," he said. "Like I said, I'm surprised we're even in this situation so anything can happen. I think he picked Auburn for a reason so I think he'll stick with that, but I could be off."

Ummmm...OK.Good thing everybody is just leaving him along and letting him make his own decision, right?

Sounds, as I state earlier, like the kid wants Auburn, but also wants to please those closest to him, which would mean going to bammer.At this point? I agree with TW. It's not like I'm going to pull a Prowler and go all "IN YOUR FACE!" on you guys, if we land him. I'm just ready to get it over with one way or another. This is getting borderline ridiculous. Bottom line, with or without this kid, AU and UA both are going to end up with two damn good classes.
It's a terrible thing when people try to make kids honor original commitments, isn't it?
That's one of the things about this kid...he never made a commitment until yesterday...to Auburn.WOOSH.
Yeah, he set up a call because Chizik called him and asked. He called Sunseri on his own to let him know too. Sounds like a man who is really pushing Auburn.

Fuck you dude. I hate your arrogant bullshit. These two cases are nothing similar...They're quite similar. That's why, at this point, neither side really has much to be pissed off about. Calloway's step-father steered him back to Alabama because he felt that was Calloway's original commitment, and he should stick by it, and felt it was the best opportunity for him. I don't know of many Alabama fans who are pissed off about that happening.
If those are premium, you need to pull them down RWS. Everyone else read quick.Neither are premium.
His ass should just go to New Mexico and get away from all of this.
I can't say that I disagree, but I saw people all over the net posting his FB page and it wasn't just Auburn and bama fans. The Iowa fans and NM fans were posting shit too. Really when I see that, I feel bad for the kid. It gives me no hope for humanity.
Didn't they figure out that the FB page everyone went to is fake? I don't know, I'm just asking, but it seems that it was fingered as a fake.

I don't know if it was a fake or not, but when you have a guy at the bunker who I know is over 40 and maybe over 50 start a thread linking this kid's FB wall, and encouraging people to go post, it's sad. The thread was up to 2 pages. Sad anyways.
You said fingered.
Yea. I am very proficient in the book face.
I have a supervisor who constantly tells us to stay off the bookface. He also hates his blueberry.

Fans on our boards going apeshit on this kid for picking Auburn. I like the comment one of the BOL mods made today; "At this point, I wouldn't blame the kid for giving up football and playing soccer again." Shit like this is what makes this rivalry venomous to the point it's hard to get along with the fans from the other side. It can't just be a "may the best man win" type thing. We can't shake hands at the end of it. We can't go one day without blaming the other side of doing something shady. We can't throw the tin foil hats away.
Seeing that shit just kind of makes you say WTF. Fans from all over making their respective fanbases look like morons on the kid's FB. Fans on our boards going apeshit on this kid for picking Auburn.

Some of this shit is just plain ridiculous.
We're all part of the problem, to some extent. We have to know information right now. We have to have it our way. We have to know the latest from Rivals. We create the demand. And this is all from the aspect of a fan. Fuck being a major prospect.
Cyrus to announce again this Monday.
Cyrus to announce again this Monday.
And change his mind again immediately following...
Cyrus to Bama per scout.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.Let me make sure I understand......
Calloway's dad forcing the flip-flop-flip again is one thing.
But to announce that you're signing with Auburn on ESPN on signing day, and sign your letter of intent, and then just before you fax it, fucking change your mind?
And these assholes (I'm looking at your, RWS) truly can sit there with the balls to believe Cecil Newton being involved in his son's decision is fishier than any of this bullshit.
I'm not normally the sour grapes type, but fuck this kid. While Saban Almighty oversigned again, we're now left with one vacant scholarship. Whoever our backup plan was surely has signed their LOI elsewhere now.
Double fuck him. I hope this happens to him no later than 30 seconds after the first time he steps onto the field.
Yeah, I said it.
Let me make sure I understand......
Alabama recruits this kid for two years. His brother is at Alabama. He has been considered an Alabama lock for sometime now. So much so, that his parents have planned for him to be at Alabama as well. He takes a visit to AU without his parents two weeks before NSD, and all of the sudden he commits to AU. And there's nothing rotten about that? But, it becomes rotten when he has second thoughts about not going to the school he has been set on for months.
It's all a matter of perception. You view it the way you do because you choose to. I view it how I view it because I choose to. For the record, I don't think either school pulled anything shady. I don't know exactly how things went down behind the scenes, and neither do you.
One thing I do know though, is that you have aligned yourself with those in the Alabama fanbase that I despise. Those that make us all look like whiney little brats when a 17 year old kid doesn't do what we want them to. Those who stomp their feet and whine to their mommy when they don't get their way. Those who went totally apeshit on this kid when he announced AU. Those who have no sportsmanship, and just can't admit somebody accomplished something fair and square.
Rowe Tahd, Chizad. Rowe Tahd.
The logical side of me believes this is a culture thing with the Kouandjio family. The "fuck AU" side of me thinks that maybe Auburn's coaches should stop trying to go around the recruit's parents.
I'm glad you usually go by the "logical side" more than your "fuck AU" side. Why? Because to actually believe that AU coaches make it some sort of standard to go around parents would make you look like a god damned retard.
I think AU coaches have done a pretty magnificent job of keeping parents involved, regardless of what "Peaches" and one other prospect's dynamically Bama forever parents make you believe.
CK's parents not making the effort to visit AU, even after the good times CK had with players at the all-star game proves that they had different motives and has zero to do with AU coaches going around them.
That's at least three recruits of this class that should have been near locks for Alabama. It speaks volumes for the staff's ability to have a kid that convinced no matter the outcome. Perhaps Satan has met his equal.
Let me make sure I understand......You're a dumbass.

Zac Etheridge Facebook: If some1 doesnt want to come to auburn and be a part of the BEST football program in the country then guess what.... WE DONT WANT THEM!!!!
about an hour ago
**snicker**I went nuts after reading that Tweet. WDE#4
I wondered at first about the "Nick Who?" hat.
I am wondering no more.
You see it. He's a beast. 6'4" 310 BEFORE Yoxall??? Get ready SEC. Don't write us off. We may not be a year or two away.
What about when the FBI shuts down our program and arrests our coaches?
What about when the FBI shuts down our program and arrests our coaches?All family, all in.
If I were using my "fuck AU" side of thinking, I'd be doing so just to get a rise out of AU fans, so it wouldn't matter if I actually believed it or not. I'd also point out the statement made by Lattimore's mom, and the rumors regarding Greg Robinson's grandma. Thus making it 4 parents in the last 2 years who didn't care for Auburn's recruiting process.
But again, the logical thinking? If Auburn would have recruited Arie last season like they did Cyrus this season, Cyrus would be a Tiger.
I'm glad you usually go by the "logical side" more than your "fuck AU" side. Why? Because to actually believe that AU coaches make it some sort of standard to go around parents would make you look like a god damned retard.Who says that Cyrus didn't tell them "Hey guys, I'm just going on this one for fun. No reason for you guys to come. I'm Bama bound." You don't know. I don't know. But this is what I'm talking about. You choose to make up your mind one way because that's the way you want to see it, so it will fit inside your pretty little box. Both sides do the exact same fucking thing. Maybe I choose to believe that the parents of these two kids stepped in because of something shady AU did. Why not? I mean, you provide no more proof than I do when you say that Alabama is doing something shady.
I think AU coaches have done a pretty magnificent job of keeping parents involved, regardless of what "Peaches" and one other prospect's dynamically Bama forever parents make you believe.

I see another DJ Fluker with this guy.Damn, I hope so.
Damn, I hope so.
You enjoy fat, slow, worthless tubs of shit?For being a fat, slow, worthless tub of shit, he did pretty damn good on our OL in 2010.
As long as AU keeps coming onto these kids who have been committed, or have had their minds privately made up for some time, at the 11th hour like they seem to have done this season, there is going to be drama every year.
What an arrogant little prick you are. When the great Saban gets them to commit in the 8th grade, everyone should back off or face the wrath. Screw you and your never been to BDS inbred people.
And right on queue, an inbred responds.
Where is the substantive response? You did not respond substantively because your incapable. LOL :rofl:
What exactly is "my incapable"?
Your an idiot and you just won't admit it. 13>2 (and your 2 have an * beside both of them). :pwnd:
You did it twice. Nice.
Like most turd fans, never really went there. Or maybe you did and it's just proof of a lesser education.
Please speak clearly when you give the drive-thru total.
You refuse to enter a substantive debate because either you are a coward or you realize your argument is in FAIL mode. (It could possibly be both). AU's 2 *s beside their NCs are permanent, hey but at least you have more than Vandy, the *s be damned. And by the way I have a JD from BAMA. Don't enter this arena armed with a knife when your opponent has a damn nuke bomb.
Your an idiot and you just won't admit it. 13>2 (and your 2 have an * beside both of them). :pwnd:
IT'S "YOU'RE" YOU phukING IDIOT
LOL. You don't even know that you're is a shortened version on "you are". That CowCollege education is really showing through. :rofl:28-27 suck it bitch.
You have posted/responded several times and yet you have never responded to the concrete facts. Your idiocy is shining through more and more with each post.
AU has repeatedly operated in the practice of trying to sign/flip commitments from other teams. CK, BC, Westerman, Whitehead are just this years examples. It appears that AU's staff doesn't do their own scouting( waiting to see who UA offers then try to sweep in).
We have 150,000 people show up to our Spring Game and you are talking about fans not coming to BDS. You can't fill Jerdin Here in the season, 4 home games not filled.
Jealousy will eat you up, son.
They say the first step to recovery is the acceptance of your place. For AU it is the "Little Brother" of the Best Damn Team in the Land. There are worse places to be for AU. :fu:
Fuck me running.......
Yep. It's fucking typical. We try to tell you this shit. I hope more come.Fuck you, and your karma.
I love where the inbreed named "13NCs" comes in yapping about championships with asterisks. You can't make that up.
That can't be good for the practice.
You're not the only lawyer on the board, Brett.

Exaclty my point. The dumpshit doesn't even see the irony at all.

Now thats irony. GF, can we get a read on this IP. B'ham may be trying for a comeback.
And yes, its irony a bammer screaming '13' from the trailer park tops talks of another schools asteriks. But would you actually expect facts to take a front seat.
Nice tat douchewad. Did it stretch after you got it? Or were you already a 500 lb bubba when you got it?
Your an idiot and you just won't admit it. 13>2 (and your 2 have an * beside both of them). :pwnd:
Are you talking about the tattoo or the wife?
HAHA! That's gold Jerry.
Welcome to the board Brett, post less if you know what's best for you, prepare your dog for jumbo, something tells me that you are a cat person though. Go fuck yourself, and always remember the lie that you posted above. You do realize that you don't have 13 NC's correct and if you do want to go down that road, we can play that game.
Got to be the tattoo. The wife seems happy, so she has to be getting it from somebody else.
Brett tell your pops hello.

I like what they have done with the place.
The house or the bellies?
I will say one thing for you Brett, you have all your teefsMotherfucker.....

I can't see any pics with my phone, but I'm guessing this thread is a birmingham level of awesome.
I'm guessing Brett isn't going to post anymore, LMAO.
Brett tell your pops hello.
