Very interesting, thanks for the link. Definitely not the kind of publicity that Auburn wants.

I knew Dyer was a bad apple...but man...Malzahn has his hands full.

If ever there was a recruit I'm glad we didn't land...

 

[Capt. Jack]

Wow. Dyer was smoking dope and illegally possessing a firearm (since he didn't turn 21 until October of 2011) while at Auburn . I'm shocked... The Christian/family fascade is crumbling.

That was nice little view inside the boog's program. Dyer seems like fine young man doesn't he?

What baffles me is that he knowlingly gave a gun to someone to committ a felony and no charges were filed against him.

All prospects and parents of prospects that are looking at Auburn as a potential choice for Football, please click the link and read. And then follow the proceedings as they unfold. Most of the guys that were in charge of the program at the time of everything mentioned in the story are, guess what, still in charge. <scratch mark through Auburn on the list>

The view inside the boog's program is that you know that the aub coaches knew all the details of this case and still allowed Dyer to play. Amazing and sad.

The gun isn't a shocker because of the rumors. The bigger thing IMO is the drug use. The article makes it seem as though spice and marijuana were common throughout the team. I've consistently said that we shouldn't bash other schools for failed drug tests or arrests because we have our share of the same, plus drugs are pretty prominent in college. The thing that gets me is that Goodwin's attorney got Auburn to agree to provide some drug testing information. Have to wonder if she is getting ready to flip this on Auburn and say they should have done better with their drug testing and policy.

Oh, and Dyer's reported actions are just awesome. He sounds like such a humble person. Kristie Malzahn described him correctly.

I've been told my multiple people that the Lee County sheriff's office knew who the gun belonged to but didn't make any charges.

For real. Although he was said to be testifying for the state...

He may not have gun charges in exchange for testimony.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Dyer was asked if he preferred grass or artificial turf. He volunteered, "Grass. I ain't never smoked no turf."

The biggest playmakers for *U's championship team = THUGS! Cam = thug, Fairley = thug, Dyer = thug!

How would you like to have this guy as your ace character witness?

Dyer, who called Goodwin a good friend, said he tried to discourage the defendant from participating in the robbery.
“To be honest, Antonio wasn’t the type of guy to do that,” Dyer said of his friend, adding the former wide receiver who now plays at Arizona Western College had a good reputation on and off the field.

 

[kayakerjess]

During the second day of testimony in Goodwin’s trial, current AU wide receiver DeAngelo Benton and former AU running back Mike Dyer say Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens and Dakota Mosley discussed the possibility of robbing someone — a topic of idle conversation for months — as they watched a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game, drank and smoked synthetic marijuana, also known as spice, at Benton’s Auburn residence with other teammates on March 10, 2011.

Oh, good grief! Topic of idle conversation?!? :eek2:

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

It was Dyer's gun?

Don't you have to be 21 to own a handgun in Alabama?

Did the girlfriend make a straw purchase?
