I know it's in bad taste to make fun of a recruit's parent - but, he is an Alabama commit, so what the heck:

I can sum this story up with one word, SAD.

An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches

I was thinking how someone could get an Auburn tat then go to Alabama, well this answers my question. Horrid parenting or no parenting really. Wish the best for Reuben.

It's pretty amazing that a baby's skin infectoin would be so bad as to conceal a gunshot wound.

I thought this was supposed to be funny? No wonder the kid doesn't have his act straight. Sad as can be. Really hope OP didn't find humor in this.

After having parents like that the kid had to be subjected to an Alabama education. Tears pooring? Hopefully he can make someone of himself. I feel for the kid.

I see nothing funny about any of this...h

It's not just in bad taste, it's in terrible taste.

bigbadbuck on 26 Feb 2013 - 2:57am #

no taste whatsoever

Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.

OP might consider taking a redshirt year..

ohst8buxCP on 9 Feb 2013 - 10:06pm #

If theres a post that deserves getting downvoted into oblivion it's this one. Just a sad sad story. Wasn't a huge fan of this kid but this really put me in perspective. Cheering for him in college.

bucknut8 on 9 Feb 2013 - 11:19pm #

Thanks for the post, as its a great inspiring story to share. so I would give you a upvote, but making fun of him, I gave you a downvote. Ill be rooting for Rueben at Bama.

You guys suck the dick of a 23-year-old (Alex) with 50/50 source knowledge at best, give me a break.

Yikes, personal attacks on members AND staff. This won't end well for you my friend

Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite

Not only that, but the personal attacks have nothing to do what the subject at hand. The dude can't fess up to making a post in poor judgement. I wonder what will happen with this though. Based on his posts, he doesn't seem like a troll, but saying what he said, that's cause for concern for sure.

Was looking forward to a ban hammer on the site...thank 1995!

Unky Buck on 14 Feb 2013 - 5:14pm #

Some are trying to make it happen now. He's lost like 20 helmet stickers in the last hour, but only maybe 5 ot 6 on here in that same period...so older posts are now getting downvoted as well.

osu07asu10 on 14 Feb 2013 - 5:53pm #

lol, I hope thats the case...we need to stand up for our fearless recruiting/site/all-world all-star leader Alex.

THIS UNCHECKED AGRESSION WILL NOT STAND,...MAN!

Unky Buck on 14 Feb 2013 - 6:33pm #

LOL, like I said above, he's not a troll. He's actually made decent posts. But when you make possibly one of the worst comments you could ever make on a board about one of the staff members who spends his own free time doing this for us and asks nothing from us in return, you have to expect a lot of backlash. Whether his other posts get downvoted at this point is sort of moot...he broke a cardinal rule and is suffering for it now.

cajunbuckeye on 14 Feb 2013 - 7:09pm #

I attribute 1995's comment to poor parenting, or he's 13 years old.

or hes 13 and got offered by Alabama

your way out of line there OSU1995, a terrible forum topic followed by one of the most offensive comments i have ever read on this site.

alex and the rest of the staff work their a** off to provide solid recruiting info and you put alex on blast like that, wow!

you my friend are a classless individual.

george_buck on 14 Feb 2013 - 2:20pm #

1. Bad taste.

2. Not funny.

3. Insult the readers and staff.

steensn on 14 Feb 2013 - 2:24pm #

And..... You're gone...

MN Buckeye on 14 Feb 2013 - 5:18pm #

I have become so used to great conversation here that I am shocked when something like this happens.

progolfer107 on 14 Feb 2013 - 5:52pm #

Glad he got his stuff together and prosper despite parenting. Very sad.

You cant pick your parents

Hopefully this makes the kid a better person in the long run

its a tribute to him how far hes made it considering

Hmmm, interesting. The Alex thing did seem to come out of nowhere. Are you stating that someone else was logged in as you and left it?

OSU1995 on 25 Feb 2013 - 7:18pm #

I like to think my comments have always been intelligible. Why would I say something so incestuous? Should i just develop a new log in ID? Ridiculous.

brandonbauer87 on 26 Feb 2013 - 10:14am #

This has gotten blown out of proportion a bit. Just take the negative comments with a grain of salt. You guys act like he killed your first born. Lighten up a little bit. Out of line yes, but spending an entire thread to put him on blast is excessive.

cajunbuckeye on 26 Feb 2013 - 10:46am #

It's a slow day. Home from work with the flu. Full of cold meds and 1 shot of Crown with honey. So basically I have nothing better to do. Besides, I don't think he should have called everyone a ****sucker and blasted one of the staff. All in the same sentence, I might add. Bad things should happen to people when they behave poorly. Only 29 away from "hammertime."

Agreed, and I don't think anyone is being over the top with it. Remember the "hey im changing my avatar" thread...OP was getting shellacked with DVs and then he edited to poke fun at his miss and it turned into a great thread an upvote fest for him.
