Agreed. An even more refreshing aspect, in my opinion, has been a lack of minimizing the severity of what happened. A well moderated board indeed. And to think they do it on a volunteer basis.
I really sort of doubt it. I think EW was dissatisfied with his FB progress (and one of the others had threatened to quit over lack of PT and then tweeted about it), and thought he was gone anyway. I think he just wanted to take out his rage and frustration. He would have had less than 24 hours to find out about a story and identify and learn the description of a possible writer. I don't think so. IMO, it was just frustration and anger and, when all's said and done, I'd guess the targets were small, had big promising backpacks and were perhaps not as alert as they should have been...
It's not going to end until the University makes a final decision and expels these 4 and/or CNS permanently dismisses them from the team. This is the 2 time defending National Champions. Everybody, especially our enemies, will not let it end until UA and CNS make the decision they need to (and I think will) make. I'm sure it won't happen until it can be done by the letter of the law without potential repercussions to the University. Unfortunately for the victims, especially the victims, and the team, it probably won't end soon.
Sorry I guess I misunderstood the following post and the "likes" to mean people felt CNS wasn't responsible at all for the actions of his players. My mistake. I guess there is a difference between responsibility and accountabilty to lawyers, but to the rest of us it means pretty much the same thing.
It was just something that crossed my mind when I read that one of the guys was a CW staffer. No research went into it since I've been at the dentist office much of the day getting a repair on a chipped tooth. I will offer that would be someone he might have a little extra motivation to target and these attacks were brutal. Rage seems to be the right word. Like I said, just a thought that perhaps he was raging against anyone or possibly someone in particular or because they were associated with the CW. I'm not even 100% sure either was on the CW staff. Had just read it somewhere. Not that it matters in the end why he did it.
I've been pretty cool about it, but you've absolutely ignored what I said earlier about this.
Yep. It appears to be random ppl and that is scary to parents with college kids. I want our players to get their due process, so we'll get a bit of grief in the media. I'd rather CNS take his time and do things properly and take a little bit of grief for "acting slowly" than for facts to come out later that change the story (I doubt that happens). Throwing ppl under the bus probably wouldn't sit well with some in the locker room once the guys are gone.
As bad as the situation is, he's doing the correct thing in this case. I can't but think though, although he may be doing the right thing what if it was my child.
I agree. Some of the stuff is absurd (not going to get into it); but every fanbase has their quirks. I doubt CNS reads the site, but I'd say the vast majority of Bama fans don't put this on CNS. Like I said in my other post; give the kids their due process, but the simple truth formula is:
If I'm a parent of a victim, I want the players off the campus immediately. I'd also tell the DA that I want to be informed of the proceedings and that if any defendant actually assaulted my child, I'd want them in jail; I would be unhappy with probation for a kid that attacked my child (presumably unprovoked; but my opinion changes if this was somehow agreed mutual combat; I doubt it was, but I want the caveat in there). If Calloway only used my kid's card, I'd be fine with deferred probation (I'm in Texas, so I'm not sure if AL calls it what we do in TX). If I'm a parent of one of the players, I'd be pretty sure my child will be expelled and probably facing probation or jail time; but if he's given a fair hearing with the school, I'll still have respect for the institution that doesn't throw my child under the bus too quickly.
