Some of us overreact when it comes to the Barn....

I'd be willing to bet if he committed to anyone outside of Awburn, Tenn, and ND, you'd be happy he made a visit to Tuscaloosa and is reconsidering us.

My son who graduated in August talked to one of the boys in the picture. His friend didn't know the moron with the sign, but did say it was taken by security nearly as quick as it went up.

Funny how this would have never been known ten to fifteen years ago, today the picture is the news and the security efforts go unnoticed (although they did great and hopefully BC didn't see the sign in person).

Security taking the sign away helped at the moment but the person taking the picture and putting in on the internet shot those efforts out the window.
As for the sign bearer.....some kids are just gonna get their time in the spotlight regardless of what it may cause. That sign was crying for attention to the bearer as much, or more, than it pertained to Calloway.

Vitriol when he switched and then vitriol when he may have second thoughts. This recruiting season can't end soon enough.

Maybe its time to take up a different hobby.:rolleye2:
Ha, you know its addicting. So to that I say... see ya next year! :biggrin:

Seriously?

A cell phone shot from the side with ZERO other information...good heavens.
I'm w/ you on that one. I've seen that pic make the rounds and all I can think is that some dude held their phone really low so as not to go detected, snapped a pic from behind Calloway w/out him noticing, and then quickly posted it on the net. Good thing the same picture taker didn't run into him at the urinals.

The craziness that goes into recruiting these days is out of control. Seems some recruits bring this on themselves, but with that huge of a spotlight one me at that age. Who knows what I've would've done? Plus, it's gotta be hard knowing what to believe when most Adults(recruiters) are promising the world to you, and saying whatever needs to be said to get you signed. I just hope Saban & Staff tell recruits how it is, and if Bama loses a recruit because of this, it's not meant to be. Promising recruits the world will catch up to a coaching staff before it's all said & done, so it's best to be honest about things from the get go. Plus, the recruit knows where they stand, and can make a decision what's best for him with honest info.

Regardless of who Calloway picks in the end, I'll wish him the best unless he's maybe playing Bama one day down the road. Personally if I was good enough to be recruited by Bama. I'd have to give it a shot at Bama because I've loved Bama all my life, and if it ended up I wasn't good enough to play for Bama in the end. At least I'd know I gave it my best shot, and would have no regrets the rest of my life.

just a little info i picked up from someone who knows this kid and his "adoptive parents", said that it was calloway's birth father (who looks like a thug if i might add LOL) who was pushing him toward the barn and that his adoptive parents loved everything about bama (as you can tell from comments in the article from friday). sounds like his birth father is seeing some $ signs (ala Scam's daddy) LOL....just my opinion though! hey if he switches back to us then good for him, but if he stays with the barn, then he still will end up on defense and be ....ed at them and prob leave because no RB that is 6'1 and runs a 4.6+ 40 will do any good against an SEC defense.

While I agree that BC is a young man and responsible for his actions and of course we live in a society that coddles young men too much, there is simply no excuse for a fan to hold up such a sign. Never, under any circumstance. That young man has failed to grasp the notion of "class" as it pertains to being a Bama fan, and I hope he gets a swift kick in the rear. And anyone in these parts who feels that such a sign is in anyway justified is off the mark, and badly.

It looked like that sign was held up in the old Mark's Madness section of Coleman. When I was a student several years ago, that group tended to be pretty clean-cut and sober. If that's still the case, it's even more pathetic that someone like that held up such a sign.

Shaun Alexander ran a 4.6 forty, and became nfl mvp .

Luper probably sent one of his minions to the game with that sign.
