Crimson Red Sports

We had our final REC meeting of the 2013 season last night and Coach Napier, WR coach, spoke to us as well as a representative from the Compliance Department.

Coach Napier gave us the history of his coaching career and was quick to say that his job at Alabama has no comparisons. He gave us a rundown of his players for the upcoming season and he put some emphasis on Christian Jones needing to step up and become more of a leader for the team. He said that Jones has a lot of respect from the players. He also broke down the abilities of Cooper, White, and Black. Cooper has the best pass routes, White is the most physical blocking down field, and Black is very versatile in what is asked of him. He was also excited about the four new incomers. The players reported in yesterday for their eight weeks of summer camp and he emphasized this was a rigorous 8  weeks for them, very demanding.

The compliance rep had some interesting things to say but he first told us to ask before helping any player or recruit. He reemphasized that if anyone wanted to help a high school player that to just notify the coaches of the player and let them do the rest. The new food rule by the NCAA has opened some doors for the schools to help the players that should free up some good assistance for them from the coaches. The coaches can now do some entertainment and socializing with the players that was not permitted before. Some of the entertainment examples he used would be during the 4th quarter training period and the 8 weeks of the summer before fall practice begins.

He also touched on something that rang a bell for me. He said the University has an account, $350,000, for assistance to the players. He used examples of car maintenance, cell phones, unexpected travel expenses for family issues, etc. as reasons to provide any cash assistance for the players. This rang a bell with me as I remember an assistant coach getting fired for providing a loan to a player about a year or two ago for so called emergency reasons. I'm not sure the account was there for the players at that time but I could only wonder why a coach would do such a thing on the up and up if the money was available then.

It was another good year for the REC as we donated a record amount of scholarship money this past year. It was also announced that our membership had reached a max and there is now a waiting list to become a member of the Tuscaloosa chapter.  

Thanks, J. Great report! Sounds like things are going very well for the REC. Congrats!

Can't wait for the season to start so we can see these receivers in action.  :popcorn2:

 :clap: :clap: :clap: DITTO! JAMOS. RTR!

Thanks, Jamos!

Yep, the REC has done an awesome job of spying on Auburn, buying multiple automobiles for prized recruits, keeping current players on the payroll, and buying off the media & NCAA to protect Alabama & persecute Auburn. Job well done.

Don't forget about getting Condoleezza Rice on the selection committee so that we are guaranteed to make the playoffs.

Ssshh!!! We don't want to reveal all of our insiders & spies working for Bama & against the Barn. Folks like Bama grads Rece Davis at ESPN, Jimmie Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, Joe Scarborough TV host, Senators Sessions & Shelby, 3 Alabama Supreme Court Justices including the Chief Justice, just to name a few of the Tide insiders. I don't want to mention anyone else & get the Barn even more paranoid.

Too late ....

I hope our Supreme Court judges can use what they learned at Alabama get the laws fixed. RTR!

That's the super-secret stuff I was hoping to hear in Jamos' report.   :clap:

Jamos, here is a list of items I hope you & the REC will work on for the 2014/2015 year:

1)  Start handing out pick-ups with 4 wheel drive to big prospects. Sports cars are too obvious.

2)  Arrange to have 5000 skunks released (surreptitiously) during a major Auburn football home game, preferably when GameDay is there to give the announcers a major aromatic experience & remembrance of Cow City.

3)  Have a story planted in major media that Auburn will be testing cow manure for its protein benefits and serving it to Auburn students in their cafeteria disguised in food as a test.

4)  Hire several ugly, homely women to be at major home games for the Barn dressed in Auburn gear. They should be loud and boisterous especially when cameras are on them. They should be overweight, missing teeth, have dirty, stringy hair, & eating twinkles. If GameDay is there, they should be on the front row and ensuring they are on camera.

5)  Have it announced on radio and the newspapers that Eric Ramsey will be the Guest of Honor at the Auburn Homecoming.

6)  Pay for ESPN to do 30 for 30 documentary on Auburn recruiting practices going back to the 1950's to present day.

These are just some of my recommendations. If anyone want's to chime in, please do.

Someone from ITAT is already on this list and sending out scouts to see when these things happen.  :lol2:

The staff member loaned (HaHa I think it was) money because his car had been broken into and he was leaving to go home to South Florida.  The staff member gave him money out of his own pocket and didn't file any paperwork.

It was a legitimate reason to give aid to the player.  Paperwork just needed to be filed with the SEC and documented (and I'm sure the money would come from the athletic dept rather than personally from the staff member).  This process isn't new this year and we've always had money earmarked for that sort of thing...it was just a matter of a staff member making a poor decision cause a kid was in a bad situation and needed the money "NOW."
