    So if that kid had stayed in bounds toward the end of regulation in last year's Iron Bowl ... the quarterback's helmetlessness would have been ignored. Got it.

    It's possible, but I lean toward it being more that the Auburn Police saw a chance to bust a Black kid. Deliberately busting the hometown QB seems unlikely, no matter what they think of Harsin.

    Unless the cops are bammers, then deliberate targeting seems completely plausible. It's Alabama, after all.

    In the Mike Shula days, people used to bitch because Bama players were getting citations on the Strip from a Tuscaloosa cop with an AU novelty tag on his front bumper. Everyone is ready to see conspiracy when a three-win season looms as a possibility.

    I bet the guy in the middle of the third row with those flimsily shoulder pads didn’t have a grade point average.

    So after a quarter century at Oklahoma, Cale Gundy resigned because he Ron Burgundyed himself.

    The N-word has, for good reason, become the most destructive and despicable word in the English language.
    But, like everything in life, there are times when the speaking aloud of the word should be taken in context.
    This seems like one of those times.

    There’s got to be more to it than that.

    Agreed. He shouldn't fall on the sword if all he did was read something aloud before he caught himself. If he's telling the truth in his statement, he didn't read the word silently and then consciously, deliberately read it aloud.
    So I'd like to think that he wouldn't be forced to resign based exclusively on this.

    Cale must've thought he was hanging his brother again.

    Oh well. I saw Joe Mixon endorsed his character on Twitter. Might not carry the weight Mixon thinks it does.

    Apparently Cale went full Clayton Bigsby and let all that hate out.
