And how exactly is it that one gets "pulled into a strip club?"

Esp at 14-15.... :biggrin:

Well, we were looking thru the window/door and the barker outside said you guys come on in nobody's checking ID's ... so we did.

True story. My high school sent the marching band to New Orleans on a band trip (yeah, I know...).
One of the guys was peeking in the door of a shady establishment and the barker yelled, "How old are you son?"
"16," was the response.
"No you're not. You're 18. Go around the corner and you'll find a guy who will make you an ID that says you are 18."
When he got home, he showed his mother his new ID.

If it'll make all y'all Cotton Matherses feel better, Saban can always have ESPN reshoot the interview with young Mr. Evans emoting "We're paintin' the town Crimson!"

I was just wondering, and this can only be answered by the more 'seasoned' people here...what was it like when CPB was there, in the early years, before the PTB's decided to award the NC's after the Bowl games? Back when the games were meant as a reward for a good season, and were supposedly more of a 'fun' game then one that might determine an NC? Was there more 'fun' for the players? Was there more shenanigans going on? Because of the much more openness of the media, and exposure of 'shenanigans' is definitely guaranteed now, did the players back then "live it up" more so than now?

Roll Tide!

I will give him this - the kid has a sense of humor. I heard the other players (was it DePriest?) guffawing in the background when the reporter asked him if he was still going to say that knowing CNS would hear/see it. Looks like some were having fun, and kudos to them - they earned it. But there is something they have to do tomorrow....

Yes but it also costs more money....lol. Plus the Popeye's down there sells Gumbo too, so that is a plus. Their chicken is 2nd best to Chik-Fil-A.

I really don't think anyone needs to chill out because I don't think anyone is getting fired up about it. I didn't see anyone getting over the top about it except the people bending over backwards in defense of players that don't need defending. My goodness. Some have simply made the observation players need to stay focused, and keep in mind why they came.

Naw some act like Coach needs to send him home, that's a tad overboard don't you think? Just because RE joked with a reporter doesn't mean he's out getting sloppy drunk until 4am with the rest of the team and it doesn't mean he is not "focused". When teams travel to cities like this they ALWAYS go out on the town. Some make boneheaded moves and most don't. RE hasn't seemed to have made any boneheaded moves yet since he is still down there.

95 % said the same thing, a little piling on the few that disagreed. I have to admit, though, I have been testy the last couple of months.
I can see clowning for Kaylee. Except for being an LSU FAN , she is really hawt! And intelligent. Can't blame a young man there.

I think I remember Barry Krauss talking about how close he came to making a boneheaded move before the Penn State game. If I remember correctly he barely made it to the game in time to play. Teammates were trying to keep it away from Coach Bryant. He was supposes to be a team leader. SMH

During the 92 game against Miami a group of Miami players were callinlg our players out down in the Quarter. Calling some of them fat. I think it helped motivate them.

I have never seen a group of fans disappear as quickly as the Miami fans after that game. I think the napkin incident Earl referred to happened after that game also.

I think he was just having a sense of humor. If that's what it takes for the team to stay loose then have at it as long as you are not being disrespectful or breaking team rules. Just make sure when you come running out on the field you are all business and snot- slinging-mad.
