There's your next big conspiracy, BET. They will say this whole thing was fabricated by Bama because we're so afraid of what Chizik is about to do on the Plains.

TIDE-HSV, what are the chances that something will come out on Auburn?
Knowing the evidence given to the NCAA, I'd say they're good. However, the NCAA works in secret, normally, and it will be a while before the outcome. I'd throw in again that it's important to pay attention to my edit to the opening post. The NCAA doesn't run parallel investigations, a la the barn theory of overlapping PLOIs. It just doesn't happen. You don't hear on one investigation while they work on another. They combine them, just as they did on our Means, et al, case. The sole exception to this was OU, which had FB and BB letters 14 months apart. This happened because the consent negotiations on BB broke down. This is yet one more reason that there is no "Gadsden PLOI" in the works, at least not for us...

Yep, just like the USC investigations.

Everytime I see something on the Gadsden stuff now, I just sit back and have to laugh. I was reading that ITAT board and I can't wait until things get turned around.

I'm no insider AT ALL, but I will say this. AU is one of the dirtiest programs in the nation, and their time is coming. Any team that has Pat Dye, Bobby Lowder, and Jimmy Ranes involved is gonna have trouble. It's just common sense.

Coach Saban hears all of this crap and was quoted at an REC gathering," You think they hate us now, wait 'til we've kicked their @$$ the next several years!"

Inside The Auburn Tigers Have a barf bag handy
You do need a barf bag! This is the site that was told to straighten up and stop posting baseless rumors over a year ago ( Lasted a week ). A few decided to take the fight off the field and the rest followed as if Marshall Applewhite was about to lead them through Heaven's Gate. Soon tin foil will out sell toilet paper on the plains.

If these trash sites are not cleaned up or shut down every SEC school will be forced to spend millions on law firms every year!

However, what I know about involved open offers by barn boosters for cash subsidies to a couple of prospects. These offers were taped and are in the hands of the NCAA presently. I, and others, have know of this for a long time.
Earle, I've never doubted anything you've posted here, and I don't doubt that its going on.... but if there's a tape why doesn't someone leak it to the media? That would force the NCAA to investigate....

The NCAA is in possession of the tape. That's all that can be done. The existence of it around Gadsden has been pretty open knowledge for many months. We just have to sit tight and see if the NCAA does its job...

Earle, do you have any knowledge of whether Auburn's PTB have done their own internal investigation regarding the "tapes", and if so, would those findings have to be handed over to the SEC office?

I'm afraid of us talking about things like this, because it makes me feel like I'm a barner, these kinds of things are the same things that they're saying on ITAT. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I would rather leave infractions and rumors of infractions out of the conversation until something concrete has materialized

mkb193, This is not a site that post rumors and something concrete has materialized. They are the ones that took the fight off the field and it backfired.

I'm not saying it is, and I'm certainly not trying to discredit anyone on the site, I certainly respect and am grateful for all the information posted. I'm just saying that you could switch the names around from that post and it basically becomes 90% of the stuff that's spewed from ITAT.

Again, not trying to say anyone is saying false information, and sorry if it seemed like that.

Then, I'd say that you don't have that much experience with ITAT, if you'd compare that site to this...

I'm not saying it's anywhere near what this site is.

Ok, just an example from one of the Gadsden threads over there.

"Completely SEPERATE issue. NCAA will respond in their time to it. I live in Gadsden and I can guarantee you the NCAA has been here and will probably be back again to talk the the people involved. The NCAA will not rule on ongoing investigations and that is the current status in Gadsden although many on this board do not have the I.Q. to understand that so they dismiss it as rumor."

Effectively what he's saying is the same as what some are here in terms of his sources, its just flipped the other way. For all the forum users know, he's just as knowledgeable as you are.

Once again not saying that he is right and you are wrong.

It just seems hypocritical to say "Everything posted on an Auburn message board is wrong, but everything posted here is right"
