Meanwhile, you are tilting at windmills.

The two directly related to the incident are in jail.

The reason Miller was not charged is evident and has nothing to do with his status as a BB player or potential final four run.

It would have been a weak case to prove his knowledge that a crime was going to be committed, and it would have weakened his testimony for the state if he were also being prosecuted by the state.

Get your own head out of the sand.

A district attorney can indict a ham sandwich if he wants to. It's an extremely low bar.

Not if they want to risk being disbarred and/or not re-elected for fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Prosecutors are ethically barred from bringing charges that are not supported by probable cause. Beyond that, they aim to bring cases they believe they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

While Miles texted Miller asking him to bring "his joint," testimony indicated Miller did not handle the gun, did not hand it over, was not involved in the initial dispute, and was unaware that a violent confrontation was going to take place.

He was fully cooperative in handing over cell phone records, dash cam videos, and as a witness for the state.

The DA exercised her prosecutorial discretion as Miller made a stronger witness for the case than he did a co-defendant with weak probable cause (at best) established.

Was it poor judgement, sure. But, poor judgement isn't always a crime and the degree of negligence on Miller's part wasn't established to justify charges.

At the end of the day, two parties acted ignorantly and someone died over nothing.

Let's up the ante for rivalry games.

Last year's loser wears the rivals away jersey in next year's game.

Nm: just pictured Bama with pumpkin puke orange on and threw up a bit in my mouth.

Haven’t seen Bama this irrelevant since before Saban?

In 2015, Bama had fallen from 3 to 13th in the AP by Week 4. That season ended well enough.

quote:

---

Nick Saban to the Media (2015) "...if it was up to you, we're 6 feet under already. We're dead and buried and gone! Gone!"

---

If 13th in a preseason poll is irrelevant, then the Bama bar is certainly too high for most programs. So, that perception of relevance is contextual.

I'll just wait to see how it plays out and enjoy some games and plays along the way.

quote:

These guys don't have to wait till the pros to get paid anymore. So now we have to wait and see if they play hard now that they already have their money or just mail it in.

This.

You'd think some schools would have learned that these ridiculous coaching contracts actually create a degree of disincentive for the established coach to pursue the grind that originally made the contract offer worth the risk.

Now, these kids/young men are getting 100s of thousands to millions to play college ball and many are not even proven players at the college level, yet. I guess a shot at the pros is some incentive to keep pushing and developing, but there has to be a large portion who will otherwise lose some drive given their new access to funds.

You know some areas will not arrest and charge college athletes and people always make fun of the south.

Or college coaches. It is how one becomes DUI Pete and the other crashes a Lexus after "working late" and a police report isn't even filed. If the latter happened in Dec among USC rumors instead of August, it may have been a different outcome.

You'd think a Harvard guy would know that you can click on the picture and see the whole graphic.

You'd think all would know it is not real data and is ultimately fake news.

quote:

The viral graphic titled "Most Arrests by College Football Teams Since 2000" (posted by @TopTierStateX) is not a legitimate data report. It is a fabricated, viral engagement graphic (often called a "rage-bait" or "meme" statistic) with no actual methodology or backend database.

The Account: @TopTierStateX is a social media account known for posting engagement-farming sports lists, map graphics, and satirical rankings designed to provoke debate among rivalry fanbases.

The Data: The graphic is unverified and largely made up. The numbers shown in these charts (which often claim top programs like Florida or Georgia have well over 200–300+ arrests since 2000) equate to roughly 10–15+ player arrests every single year for over two decades—a volume that does not match public law enforcement or university reporting.

The Real Tracking Source: The actual data source that tracking accounts copy or exaggerate from is ArrestNation.com (and historical reporting by national outlets like USA Today or Sports Illustrated). However, legitimate tracking databases only account for roughly 10–30 total arrests per program over a 5-to-10-year window, not hundreds.

But the real answer is money.

They have to be 4 year starters without a redshirt involved, 4 wins and 4 year starter, capiche?

The starter part is the hard part more so than the winning

If players in last 2 plus decades are good enough to start 4 years with or without a RS at a major school, they are usually gone to the NFL in 3 years

If someone hired Deboer away from us after we just signed him to that extension, I'd be more than perfectly ok with that.

And replace him with who? Waiting another 2-3 years to install a new scheme, build and recruit around it, while suffering setbacks in recruiting after a down 2026 year, no thanks.

Prefer to hold what we have and see where it goes.

Unless you are seeking a professional degree in something, I am challenged to see the value in graduating college with 100k+ of debt on the low end from a public university.

It has gotten completely out of control.
