Title: Sports by Brooks: Four AU players allege pay for play in HBO Special
Post by: MDB Tide Roll on March 29, 2011, 08:20:19 PM
Sports by Brooks claims to have obtained a transcript of the HBO Special that airs Wednesday night.  Here's a tidbit.

Quote
    * On McClover being paid $4,000 for his performance in the Iron Bowl:

Kremer voiceover: “Stanley McClover says he was also paid while at school (Auburn). Paid by boosters. Like the time he had his eye on this 1973 Chevy Impala.”

McClover: “Private owner wanted seven thousand in cash so I went to my booster who I knew and he gave me the money the next day in a bookbag.”

Kremer voiceover: “McClover says eventually he didn’t have to ask for money, as long as he played well, he’d get paid.”

Kremer to McClover: “How much was a sack worth?”

McClover: “Anywhere between 300 and 400 dollars. For one.”

Kremer to McClover: “I think in one game you had four sacks, what did you earn in that game?”

McClover: “Four thousand. Against Alabama.”

Kremer: “Seriously?”

McClover: “Alabama, a rivalry game.”

Kremer: “More money because it’s Alabama?”

McClover: “Definitely. No other game matters.”

It's like Jelks and Ramsay, they feel like they were used and they blame the school for it. It doesn't matter that they voluntarily took money or "gifts." In other words, they're losers.

Listening to The Opening Drive this morning, Al Delgreco literally sounded as if he were at a funeral.  Jay Barker acted like....well, you know.   ;)

So, let's sit back and enjoy  :popcorn:  while it all plays out.

Yeah, I turned it on and Al was like a zombie when he talked about anything. I knew then he had seen the article by Brooks.

I'm overseas as some of you know, so I won't have the ability to watch the special tonight if the stream gets shutdown.

But, I thought I'd share the HBO link I use here for others that don't have access.

If any other links exist, I'd appreciate them as they are not always the most dependable, but this one has been consistently good for us.

http://www.soccertvlive.net/watch/50595/1/watch-hbo---e-[general].html

NOTE: the [general] in the URL messes up the link.  Simply hit "quote" on this post and copy the exact link to go to the HBO site.  Otherwise, you'll have to navigate through the site's main page to find the HBO link.

This is probably the only time in my life that I wished I had HBO. Someone who is watching might need to start an official in game thread on the show. I'll pop the popcorn and fry up some wings, Brosky or 2 can bring the brewskis, Allie can bring the bacon dip, and general can bring in whatever fried food he wishes. Everyone else come on over and watch the barn burn. >:D

Twenty minutes into it, and it's (yawn) not about Aubs.  It's all about "Why are players paid in college if everyone else gets paid when they play?"

If this doesn't get more exciting, I'm going to bed.

Finally, they seem to be ready to talk about cheating (although after the talk of 'unfair to the players', Aubs may be the heroes).

Do you think this goes on at all schools or just Auburn?

Quote
Why are you reporting garbage that cant be proven and allowing people to trash Auburn? Where is the proof? You are the biggest bunch of lying muckrakers I have ever seen. I am considering canceling my HBO service because of this. DO YOUR REPORTING-- these 4 are all disgruntled players out to bash Auburn-- tell me why the more talented, famous players wont confirm this? You went after Auburn because of Cam Newton and the National Championship-- you are making "contoversy hay( instead of political) while the sun shines" I hope Auburn sues the living crap out of you -- This entire season- people get to say anything they want, with no proof. It is not right, it is not journalism and you ought to be ashamed. If you dont air the other people denouncing this gang of 4 and give it another side, you are all a bunch of lying jerks.

Quote
As an Auburn graduate, I deeply resent your so called "expose" on Auburn athletes. If you really cared about being honest, you would have presented BOTH sides to this issue. Many, many better players who have no axe to grind would have told you that no players were paid at Auburn, but no, you chose to present only one side. I will be cancelling my subscription to HBO and will advise all my Auburn friends to do so as well until you follow up with a fair and objective side to this story. I hope Auburn files suit for slander since you didn't present proof or both sides. It's alsomy objective to contact the Auburn club members nationwide and ask that they do the same. Hitting the pocketbooks may lead to honesty and fairness.

    Next, go on the offensive. Get the dirt that is out there on Bama into the public arena. It will take more effort because the state media will not touch it. Use the internet and national media when possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

^this

It's time for some payback.  Not updyke payback; we don't need to sink to that sorry level. But payback as in ensuring maximum attention for the slightest whiff of violation.

And that goes for more than uat, imo.

Since the whole Cam hysteria I've contemplated creating an online clearinghouse dedicated to NCAA violations and athletic program scandals.

The media like to snoop on boards, but they chalk up a lot of the talk on them to just to rivalry chatter (and a fair amount is).

However, if there was ONE site purely devoted to violations and scandals--a TMZ for college athletics--it might become harder to ignore uat's and everyone else's shenanigans.

I'm not talking about rumor and innuendo. I'm talking about actual evidence. It would be hard to come by at first, but if the site could build a decent enough reputation, the stories would come.

I don't know all the ins and outs of running such a site yet. I probably don't have all the resources to pull it off.

But after all this, if they all want to bring us down, I'd be more than happy to help take all of them down with us.

But after all this, if they all want to bring us down, I'd be more than happy to help take all of them down with us.

How is this quote for barner logic. File this away for when the NCAA eventually slams them:

Quote
Well of course it won't but the only ones who have to have common sense in this situation is the NCAA.

one of the barners was calling for a boycott/canceled subscription movement for the b'ham news too  ???

not sure what their logic was on that one ... wait ! what logic ? they have none  :P

maybe just the boycott of HBO wasn't doing it for them ... they need more ?

Hurry, there's at least one who has a half of a clue

I told a co-worker just a couple of minutes ago that no one will believe the Zimbea article nor the Groves interview.  I still think that we are looked at as the new U.  "We are dirty thugs who rob people at gunpoint, we pay our players, we bought our championship, you name it, we are doing it.  At least that is the national perception about us.

The real loser in all this is college football. Ohio State can't beat the SEC, the barn sees 14 trophies in Tuscaloosa, so they try to level the playing field the only way they know,--cheating. The "have nots" scam the system and justify it, in their puny little minds, by saying everyone does it.  An LSU (under CNS) and barn assistant said on PF today, "CNS made it clear we would be fired for any such violations". It is not every team that cheats to get ahead, but the same cast of characters, over and over again.

HBO had a definite agenda tonight. CNS makes $5 mil, players are poor, the Ivy League choses to lose (LOL), Rich Rodriguez only cheated on rules he felt were not important. The same class envy garbage that reasons that the poor, uneducated masses should run the world. Now they are screaming for reparations in a system that is in the red, due to the Title IX garbage these same idiots squawked for, years ago. Perhaps the present system needs some review, but not by these dumbbells,-- particularly the bow tie egghead.

Tyrone Prothro will do a good job at the bank. Others will notice his effort. His degree will allow for further advancement. Alums in the industry will throw a block for him. He will succeed and eventually learn that the lessons taught on the field translate to life and the real world. That being said, I think I read that he is interested in coaching, which may explain him staying close to Tuscaloosa. The T-News article painted him as dealing with his misfortune, and adjusting well to the realities.

  The University of Alabama made a brilliant investment  in CNS. He has paid off in triplicate.  The benefactors (us) will reap the rewards for years to come. To say that a man that has worked his entire adult life to climb the free market ladder does not deserve it, is to say that the kids who went trick-or-treating should hand over half their candy to the kids who stayed home and watched TV. Roll Tide.

I know one thing. The barners down here in Lee County are skittish as %$@#. Even my barner counterparts at work won't talk to me about it.

This mess is comin to a head purty fast. I feel it's just a matter of time before barngate/Victoryland's uncle milton's crew...comes to fruition.

they just described CJT on espn by saying "putting the vest in investigation"
so hello OSU , worried about our over signing  now ? we didn't think so .

revelations to come that puts the finger where it has needed to be for a long time .

the arrogance , the can't touch this attitude and the we can get away with it because we're fambly

I have noticed a kinder , gentler brand of barner here recently (worried ?)
haven't heard their battle cry very much lately either ... not hardly at all actually .
I might hear it when I release a hearty ROLL TIDE to one of them
but the response back seems a lot weaker than in the past , and
I believe they may just have instructions to change the subject when it comes up  ;D


be careful over there ! at the rate they are going in the crapper ? one of them might snap  ;D

I'm up tonight (morning) with work stuff, so to kill time I've been roflmao at the barn and OSU forums. While both fan bases are denying their azzes off, they both took time to look up/copy/paste the NCAA statute of limitations. Most not guilty folks (wrongfully accused) demand their day in court to prove their innocence,--not a back door out.
