Auburn Kicks 4 players off team

[intrepid27]

I guess Chizzle got lucky and these guys will help his oversigning situation. 4 players arrested Friday AM and all kicked off team. 2 recievers and a thight end with one catch between the three, and a jr DB with no career stats. Gene can get rid of 4 scrubs AND look like he is tough on crime.

Will they have to pay their signing bonus back?

"McNeil, a rising senior, led Auburn with 14 tackles in BCS title game. He was expected to return to anchor the Tigers' secondary next season."

Not exactly a scrub. I'm sure they will be fine though

On the upside, this means we won't win the Fulmer Cup this year, we had been sitting in second place.

Anyone else find it interesting how they specifically indicate the race of each player, specifically how they have to include that Mosley is white (doesn't fit into the story at all):

Mike McNeil, Antonio Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens and Dakota Mosley were all arrested early Friday morning in Auburn, Ala. Auburn police said that three black men entered a house about three miles from campus and one displayed a handgun. Police said they stole property.
After a motor vehicle stop, the four were arrested and a pistol and stolen property were recovered, according to Auburn police. Mosley is white.

Sounds like Alabama to me.

AS for the players, what a bunch of freaking idiots. Pretty serious crime, especially with the handgun being present.

They needed to open some salary cap room. New QB's can get expensive.

I thought that at first, then realized they were simply trying to match the report of three men committing a robbery with four being arrested.

The others were two medium/high 3 stars, and a 4 star wide receiver. All from the 2010 class. Not exactly Swiss cheese.

I'm sure that whatever they stole was worth throwing away their lives and futures for.

"Iowa State's points work out thusly: three felony points for assaulting a peace officer, one bonus point for being named Lattimer with authentic Lattimer hair and behavior, two for standard OWI, and a bonus point for doubling up on offenses in a weekend while wearing a mohawk. That's eight points in the Fulmer Cup for the Cyclones, who clearly have plenty of entertainment in Ames to keep them busy and in sight of UVA's once insurmountable lead. "

I wondered how we got 8 points until I saw this. LOL Good stuff!!!

Interesting story on the incident...auburn recruit flashing money on facebook profile shortly after signing day, and the car he was driving in the get-away.

Yeah, that was very strange to read. news loves to do that stuff though, make sure to throw the race of the people involved as if it was pertinent info to the story somehow.
