I know I'm getting old when I have no fucking clue what that dude was saying

Guessing the police couldn't translate either

HE SHOULDN'T BE PLAYING. This is ridiculous. I don't care if he is innocent, he shouldn't be playing. But that right there says to me he knew exactly what was going on. That is gang shit

Even when the school found out, winning mattered more.



The University of Alabama was unaware until Tuesday that dismissed basketball player Darius Miles texted a request to star freshman Brandon Miller to bring Miles' gun to what shortly thereafter became the scene of the shooting death of 23-year-old Jamea Harris, according to UA Director of Athletics Greg Byrne.

The new information we learned (Tuesday) was that there had been some text messages exchanged with Brandon and Darius. That information was news to me. I had not been told that before. Then, we were able to receive some information since then about the text exchange that has not been out there publicly. For instance, Darius had been asking Brandon to come pick him up for close to an hour. He was his ride that evening," Byrne said. "Brandon was already on his way to pick up Darius when he received a text message from him that was reported in the media yesterday. I didn't know that yesterday, I found that out (Wednesday). He received text messages from Darius over the course of an hour to come pick him up. The text message released (Tuesday) was when Brandon was going to pick him up, and was already almost there."

Faking was like...frontin or pretending in my day. Perping I've also heard

Fakin' in terms of being a threat

Never

This is what was sent to him.

He fucking knew there was smoke.

Pretty disingenuous for anyone to act like they don’t know how this went down in the first place.

I’m happy to be your ghetto tour guide.

Adam is so scared Ja and his gang buddies will shoot up his mansion

If there's no proof that ja had it in the locker room or on the team plane than he can't really suspend him longer imo. Ja could easily say one of his boys brought it to the club and he was showing off with it

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Ah okay

I've actually gotten in a scuffle and had someone do that to me.

Was a fun split second until I realized he did not actually have a gun.

Okay I guess his sentence structure just made it borderline illegible.

So basically it was invented for the nba and fake tough guys in general

Just the structure?

Smfh…these are college students.

 

[trojanfan12]

You can’t have your take on it unless you firmly believe there wouldn’t have been any punishment if he weren’t a top player. Do you believe that?

Why do I have to believe that? That has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I believe someone should be punished for a crime they didn't commit and didn't violate a team rule.

If I were the coach, I wouldn't care if he was a scrub, a star or a role player...if he didn't commit a crime or violate a team rule, I'm not suspending him.

By the same token, if he pulls that mock frisking thing...I'm suspending him for that and making sure that he spends a lot of time being subjected to the evils of the strength and conditioning coach. Those fuckers are the devil.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I just don't understand talking like you're a fucking retard.

My seven year old could text a better sentence.

Students? Not sure that applies.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Actually my wife has a sister who is mentally handicapped and could text better than that.

My kids get mad because I text in complete sentences.

I’m also throwing hands if they even dream of referring to me as Dude or Bro.

 

[trojanfan12]

He’s a piece of shit.

If that's the text he received, he should have been arrested and charged. Not sure why the police and DA haven't used that to arrest and charge him.

I sometimes use shorthand but come on now

We grew up on T9 out here. They don't know shit about that struggle.

My kid got a full ride scholarship.

Graduated with a 4.3 gpa.

Can’t write in cursive and can’t spell FOR SHIT because everything is done on a Chromebook.

They don’t even have text books.

Everything uploaded into Canvas, books downloaded from bookshelf or Cengage.

It’s really pathetic.
