Dontre's numbers need an asterisk when you consider how crappy defenses were in our district this year. Just saying.

I heard they're going to replace the blinking light with an actual stoplight in 2019.

That one place where you can get a Chicken Fried Steak...

Here's the deal, my friend. I appreciate what you're saying. I understand that your life experiences helped to forge your opinions, and it sounds like you also got a healthy dose of "higher education" as it's commonly presented to impressionable youths these days. Understand this. Calling another person "privileged" is synonymous with calling yourself a victim. That's a fact.

I just don't buy it. Sorry. We can do as much as we want as a society, but at some point it comes down to accountability on the part of a kid and his/her parents. I don't want to single schools out, but there are too many kids that go to Memorial, graduate, and move on to earn college degrees and become successful individuals to say that it can't be done. "The way you look at survival is completely different than the way a minority youth in a poverty stricken area does." Really? If a kid is being looked at by 6 colleges for his athletic abilities, then he has had more "privileges" than this unathletic white boy ever had. Stop making excuses. This kid's actions aren't any different than the actions of the kid from Dallas who tried to beg off of murder charges due to "affluenza." It's just kids making boneheaded decisions that cost someone else their life. It's ridiculous to blame somebody's wealth or poverty when it ultimately came down to a teenager making a bad decision.

Musta gotten tired of getting thumped by Orangefield.

I wonder how those cops knew Tony was from Ozen? Because I'm certain that's why Ozensfinest believes they were hassling Tony.

Ozensfinest thinks that the Alabama student committee just had it out for Tony because he went to Ozen. Thousands of kids go play football on scholarships. Very, very few of the. Get arrested for fighting the cops 2 weeks after they show up on campus.... And that IS a big deal to everybody that DIDNT attend Ozen, FYI. Only one got sent home by his teammates before their Cotton Bowl this year. Question for Ozensfinest.... How many more of these incidents before you'll be able to admit that the kid seems to have decision-making problem?

When you combine this event with his arrest right after arriving on campus, and it gets harder to keep giving TB benefit of the doubt. I cringed in the SEC Championship game when Saban was furiously going after TB on the sideline after he drew that penalty. There are too many blue chips trying to get on the team in Alabama for Saban to keep putting up with BS. Dont blow it, Tony Brown!
