CLICKY

At some point someone's going to have to be held responsible for the culture that cesspool has become.

Things like this happens everywhere. Some places it is just over and over and over..............

Just plain stupidity. I hope it shuts him up. But I'm sure it won't.

How much longer until "The Fulmer Cup" is changed to "The Chizik Cup?" :cool2:

 

[jeremy]

When its a bama player "hate to hear that. hope that young man gets his life together"

When its a barn player "lol those thugs just keep getting in trouble"

 

[KrAzY3]

Nothing to see here! Move right along!

This was a Bunker comment by an AU fan: "The biggest surprise here is that this made the papers, usually it disappears before then..."

Not sure if you're the overly PC type or you really think the two schools are even remotely comparable over the last few years...

But either way, your post is sad.

Lets recap the trouble Pike has caused or been in since he committed to The Barn..

1 - He became a cult hero of auburn fans by trashing all things Bama on Twitter..

2 - He gets gets ejected from a 7 on 7 Tourney for throwing the ball at a ref..(never heard of that happening before)

3 - And now he gets arrested for PI..

So auburn fans keep telling yourselves he's "just a kid being a kid"..I don't think he'll ever play a down of SEC Football..He'll either quit or transfer cause the coaches won't hand him the starting job..Typical Barner player & attitude..

For, the most part I don't keep track of what's going on with their players. Of course, the armed bandits and the shotting a couple of weeks were the exception. This guy has a quite a rap sheet.

The best comment on al.com came from a Barner who said "He's made a lot of bad decisions the past year".

(Such as signing with API).

 

[Tide1986]

He was suspended his final game at Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood, Ky., for an undisclosed reason.

Past performance predicts future behavior.

Im being pretty sarcastic, but its not far from the truth of how things go. If this type of thing happens to one of our own, we are sympathetic. If it happens to them, different story. Yes, right now we are doing well in the discipline department....but I remember not too long ago when we werent.

I think you're time shifting here. Are you comparing the behavior of players under Saban with players under Cheese Nip? Or are you comparing players schooled under Shula with players under Cheese Nip? Yes, we've had our share of bad coaches, but I think the point here is that Auburn has a bad coaching situation while Alabama has an a very good one.

There does APPEAR to be a trend of bad behavior down at the barn recently - it's hard to ignore shootings and armed robberies. As for reality, well, at any (and I say this grudgingly as relates to the barn) major SEC football program, appearance and perception IS pretty much the reality you get to live with. It goes with the territory. Deal with it.

Cheese Dips choices for dealing with this are pretty much;

a) Attempt to take actual control of the football team, instill some discipline, and send the message that this behavior will not be tolerated,
-OR-
b) Spout a few platitudes about "family", and ignore this and hope nothing else happens for a few weeks or so (This is where I think this ends up, BTW)

All that said, the only reason I can possibly raise the slightest interest in myself about what goes on down in boogerville is because this reflects poorly on the state of Alabama specifically, and the SEC in general. Other than that, the barn may proceed with Self-Destruct sequence with my blessing.

5 .... 4 .... 3 .... 2 .... 1 ....

I'm not shifting on anything. I'm not talking about coaching or wins and losses. This thread is about Pike getting in trouble. My 2 posts were general observations about how many fans react depending on which team is guilty.

I agree 100%, but you left out a telling thing...he was suspended for his last game -- a playoff game at that.

What would it have taken for this guy, a top college recruit and presumably all-world performer in HS, to get suspended for a HS playoff game? I'm thinking multiple offenses and multiple responses (whether verbal or by action) of, "What are you going to do about it....suspend me? I don't think so." Until some coach gets fed up to the gills and thinks of the team over the individual.

So inside of a year, The Chosen One has been suspended from a HS playoff game that his team went on to lose, run his mouth publicly on something that doesn't affect his performance (Alabama), thrown a ball at a ref, and arrested for public intoxication in Auburn. Not only that, he's 19, so somebody somewhere in the chain of control gave or sold alcohol to a minor.

And this is the Chosen One? Let it be so. Sounds more and more like Stephen Garcia. I'm buying popcorn and watching as the movie unfolds.

I want to say that "undisclosed reason" was smoking marijuana in the team locker room. Or was that someone else?

Considering all the crap Pike did after his commitment to AU, I find this pretty funny.

I think as Tideman009 pointed out, you can throw the general observation out the window on this one. No one should be surprised he's in trouble down there already. He's got a proven track record of being an idiot and I doubt this will be the last time we hear the words Zeke Pike and arrested in the same sentence.
