Sweet. I hope any students or fans on Tidefans that will be at the game will start the "Reuben" chants.

Apparently Crimson Chaos is going to hold up "big head" cutouts of Foster.

Compliance had them removed because they couldn't risk his image showing up on the jumbo-tron's.

A "Reuben Foster" chant broke out in response, so the message still got across. :biggrin:

haha, yeah, but that's different. His likeness and visit being promoted, even accidentally, is the issue. A chant of his name, not so much.

That's great. I'm sure they made him feel very welcomed and I'm sure it made Reuben know T-town is where he belongs.

Hope they let him hold that trophy and told him he could help UA win it for the next 3 to 4 years

The "Reuben Foster" chant was a nice touch by the student section. I hope Reuben enjoyed the halftime trophy presentation as much as we did. On a side note, really like Coach Saban's red jacket, and Jesse Williams' mohawk, lol.

Foster will not be going to UGA this weekend for their big VID weekend.

Re: *** 2013 LB Reuben Foster Commits to Bama ***

The chatter out there is that he may be transferring to Oxford AL for his senior year. Also saw one tweet is he wants to get away from all the pressure UGA is putting on him. I do think it bodes well if he finishes HS in AL.

My only worry about that is his continued development. Will the AHSAA allow him to play this fall?

If he is moving into the area and living with family I do not see how they would not let him. In GA I assume the problem is going to a different school without family. I know in NC you can not and many scandals have transpired we players have tried. Like all that mess with Otis "The Pimp" Yelverton and all those NC players who ended up at Cal.

My understanding he has family in the Oxford school district. Can not remember where but he was born in AL and his family is from AL.

It better be his parents or he wont be playing...

AHSAA doesn't let you just pick a family member to live with and get by with it..

Re: *** 2013 LB Reuben Foster Commits to Bama ***

If his family members in Oxford take custody of him, he can play. If you can legally register for school, you can play sports. This happens quite often in town with multiple districts and schools. Grandma takes custody and Jimbo moves to the county school to play or from county to city. We see problems often when kids from the county want to come to the city and buy "rental" property and use that address to get in school. You can't fool the AHSAA in that situation. We have a kid who got booted from the baseball team because he couldn't prove he lived in the "rental" house full time.

Does the fact that he lives in Georgia and is moving to Alabama make any difference? It would seem that the rules would not be the same as an in-state transfer.

Don't know, just asking.
