Tray Blackmon

[Jimbo4Bama]

Apparently Auburn's stud LB Tray Blackmon was reinstated back into school today.... did anyone even know he wasnt still in school the whole time? I just think it is funny that one of their star players was close to not even playing anymore and noone has even been reporting about it... I know when DJ was iffy last summer it was all over our boards as well as the Barn boards. I was kinda bummed to hear the knews he had been reinstated, not just becasue i know he is gonna be awesome, but because i had never i heard about it period.... but then i got a kick out of it. I guess it is true: Noone cares about Auburn

I had a feeling he'd be eligible for two-a-days.

I think it was a foregone conclusion that he would be back. He's too good.

 

[Jimbo4Bama]

What even happened with him... I know he had gotten into trouble last summer with the car wreck and fleeing the scene ordeal or whatever...but what was it this time

What's a joke is that nobody in the media is saying anything negative about the situation. Ears conveniently removes said troubled player, doesn't affect his APR, then brings him back.

Move along, nothing to see here.....:biggrin:

Let's face it. The only time anything regarding auburn is really newsworthy is when it relates some way, no matter how insignificantly, to the Tide.

Unless of course we're referring to the Barn's incredible academic prowness!!

...... , just like the barn , SUCKS !!!

Maybe he needs an ice cream cone ._surpris

It was reported when he was suspended, however it wasn't news because for one, its Auburn, and two, nobody seriously thought Tubby was going to let Blackmon not be ready for fall, they pretty much have to have him in uniform so he could murder a bus load of nuns and he would still play this fall. Tubby only suspended him last fall because he didn't really need him that badly, yet he did get him in the game in Florida in time to pull the big upset.

Yeah, that's what I thought when I first of his dismissal/suspension/whatever they called it.

That's probably why the media isn't covering any of this. Everybody pretty much understood this as an inevitability.

So much for Tubby's Zero Tolerance policy.

This is different from the stuff Shula did last year how?

For one, Shula is gone and Ears is still there.:biggrin2: :BigA:

It's not. The question is, what will tubbs do when blackmon screws up again?

 

[GrayTide]

It's not. The question is, what will tubbs do when blackmon screws up again?

He will follow the Fulmer plan. Say he screws up this summer before the start of the fall semester. Ears will retro suspend him, meaning he will suspend him and take him off scholarship for the spring semester which is just about to end. Classic Fulmer move.

Wingnut suspended the player giving a look of discipline.

Shula didn't want to talk about it or anyone else for that matter.


I have never been a coach, but if a kid had so little respect for me to talk about snow cones as punishment I would loose it. Someone would know I was not a wuss to be run over.

I had read a while back that Blackmon may have some academic eligibility issues- not enough credits or something- and couldn't make it up, even with summer school. Not sure about his current status though.
