My folks bought a Pinto cuz, after we'd moved from Montreal to Toronto, they needed a second car.

It was baby blue, had an 8-Track, and the 2 tapes I had were Johnny Winter [I got a girl named Boney Moroney. She's as skinny as a stick o' macaroni] and CCR [I used to think the words were "There's a bathroom on the right"...]

Now that you mention it, I don't think I had too many dates when the ol' Pinto was my ride...

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Did he ever specify if it was Matchbox or Hot Wheels? It was probably a little too late for it to have been in the Micro Machines hey-day, but he might have been worth 1 or 2 of those 'vettes.

Shula's DC was Joe Kines, who never did figure out how to stop that little inside trap, but he was one of my favorite guys to hear an interview from.

I was at the Independence Bowl when Okie State ran the inside trap what seems like 40 times and we never stopped it. I also got tired of hearing this

I think Mr. White has created an embarrassing moment he did not think he would walk into. Sparky Woods who was on the staff said we did not offer him.

This is just absurd on so many levels. A lot of us follow recruiting closely, and we've seen some suspect things go on, but I don't think we've ever seen a recruit with a Corvette have we? Where does he even come up with that nonsense?

But, furthermore, the joke is that Alabama had tepid interest at best. Can we imagine how a conversation between a booster who bought him a Corvette and Shula might have gone?

"Look, I bought him a Corvette, so he's yours"
"What, are you going to get him to walk on?"
"No, but he'll accept a scholarship, he's yours"
"You're not getting it, we didn't offer him a scholarship, we do not want him"
"But... I gave him a Corvette"
"Unless you can get him to walk-on, just leave me alone"

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Mountain

I'm fairly sure he said what he did to get under the skin of some Bama Fans he was messing with..He knows it didn't happen & I bet he'll put out a public apology before long for saying it..JMO

Yeah, People can trust what White says. I mean he didn't just say something like that to get some Media attention. After all he is playing with the Edmunton Oilers not wanting to gain attention to his career.

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Mountain

Most of you have probably forgotten this (I have this memory trouble as you know), but White has already in a round about way called Saban a liar about his alleged recruitment to LSU:


LSU recruited White as an, "athlete," and he knew what that meant. Quarterback wasn't promised. It probably wasn't even on the radar. But when West Virginia began recruiting White only as a quarterback and had a spread offense to custom-fit his skills, LSU changed its tune.

Its coach told White he could play quarterback.

"I didn't think they were being honest," White says.


That's from 2009.

In short, we have a player with an inflated opinion of himself who already holds a grudge against our coach making news. Too bad the media didn't bother to point this out.

Speaking of which - one should have then asked the obvious follow-up to White - what did Saban offer you to come to LSU? Boy wouldn't that have been an interesting answer.

This same guy also accused the WVU baseball coach of being a racist while he was on the football team there. I think he just likes attention.

Remember when the Dolphins drafted him to run the Wildcat? Lol.

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Moun...

Pat White is full of it, for one we NEVER wanted him as a QB and for two he wasn't that great of an athlete to deserve a Corvette. He just wanted someone talking about him and he succeeded.

Good stuff. I can't decide if what you wrote here or PW wrote on twitter is funner.

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Mountain

After mulling over what Pat said about Bama offering him a car..Sounds like he really wanted to come to Bama & we didn't bow down to him, and give in to what he wanted, and that was to play QB here at Bama & that just wasn't going to happen..We don't bow down to no recruit here at Bama.."Cry Me A River Pat" & go on a cry about other issues..If ya have proof, man up, and produce the evidence or shut ya pie hole up little boy..

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Mountain

My question is what all else has White lied about.
He's obviously starved for attention, and will make accusations just to make the news.
Is Canadian news not thrilled with this want to be star?
OR Is Canada no longer covering topics of interest?
Slow news cycle, or no news cycle?

Whether Pat wanted to play for Alabama is immaterial, he couldn't have cut it here.
WRONG KIND OF ATTITUDE...

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Mountain

Someone should get White a sideline pass for the UA-WVU game so he could discuss the matter personally with Mr. Henry, preferably after he goes off for 175 yds and 2 TDs in a merciless Bama-style bloodletting.

Re: Pat White: "Still Glad I Turned Down A 'vette [From Alabama] To Become A Mountain

i have it on good sources that WVU gave Pat White one couch a month from the Morgantown thrift store, a half-gallon of 87 octane gas per couch, and a Zippo lighter with the university logo on it. He was promised a top-of-the-line Lazy Boy for a national championship.
