Well gang, Gus' ineptitude has hit another milestone. The reason Asa didn't play last week is because they decided to redshirt him, but then they realized that he has already played in 5 games this year so now he is available again.
OT: Asa Martin
- Thread starter WDE_Tarp
- Start date
@Fatz Geronimo mark it off the list.
HAHA. That’s amazing.
Just when I thought this clown had tried it all.
Hope this means more touches for Asa but expecting more of the come in for a swing pass and then exit to ride the pine.
That’s a failure on so many levels that it’s almost unbelievable but then it’s Gus so it makes sense
This is truly amazing. It sounds like something we would make up to defame him. Kinda afraid to snopes it.
And just imagine the recruiting fallout if Gus isn't canned. Recruiting against Gus will be like shooting fish in a barrel. EDIT: an even smaller barrel.

Im sitting here trying to figure out something to type but im just shaking my head. So much is wrong with our beloved program and it WILL NOT be fixed as long as Gus is here. IM surprised Kevin hasn't kicked Gus in the face. I bet they don't even do fundamental drills in practice...they don't even practice tbh.
some things are so preposterous not even a man of my vast creative talents could think to put them on the list...
this is one of those things
yet nothing has ever made more sense to me upon hearing it... the man is a treasure... truly a treasure
As much as I want this to be true, Asa only shows up on the participation chart for 4 games right now. No Arky, no UT. If anyone wants to rewatch the Arkansas game, feel free.

I do not think those keep track of Special Teams
They used to, it'd be a shame if they don't anymore. If this is true, it's approaching for cause level of mismanagement.
So I have no idea if he played a real snap or not, I briefly tried to browse through to see if I saw him on either of the kick returns because that would have been my best guess on what special teams he would play. Anyway, I don't know if this counts or not but he definitely was on the field for a snap. Unfortunately this play was blown dead due to delay of game because...Gus. So we know there was no conscious effort to keep him out of the game, and we were fully prepared to burn his redshirt to throw him a swing pass.

well, it's a bit of a blessing in disguise anyways. As we need the young man to get as much experience as he can get. Can't think of the last time AU started a RS Senior at runningback. So a redshirt is rather worthless anyways.
I agree. The laughable part to me though is that if it’s true, it seems like they sat him against UT thinking they could still redshirt him, playing Malik Miller instead. Then later they find out he should have played anyways because his redshirt was gone.
That’s the worst part if it really went down that way.
Side note: I feel decently confident that Chip is leaking this info to JGT and the other writers cause he’s pissed at Gus. No actual knowledge that it’s happening but a strong hunch
yeah. Redshirting talented runningbacks is just dumb anyways. Bama doesn't do it and they always have a massive stable of them. UGA isn't doing it and they're building a similar stable. Not sure why Gus would even consider it when AU actually needs Asa given Boobie's injuries. It's just dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb on both accounts.
And yeah. Gus has shown no remorse in kind of throwing chip under the bus for the offense so it wouldn't surprise me if Chip's fighting back a little by leaking stuff.
I literally just LAFFED out loud...$49 million
Or as they say in Tuscaloosa "like shooting babies in a barrel"
He probably has played in 5 games but AU is just pretend that it’s 4. Seems like something that’s totally on the honor system. Can’t see the ncaa actually combining through every single snap of every single game of every team just to make sure a couple of freshmen didn’t get any extra snaps.
I'm pretty sure that all NCAA henchmen read the GREG, so there's that. Hey @Mark_Womack. Kindly KMA
Oh, I definitely could see someone turning in Auburn (or any team) to the NCAA if they question something like this out of spite.
Possibly. It’s also possible that the AU compliance guys phoned up the ncaa when they realized what happened and apologized and just asked for some leniency with this being the first year of the rule. Idk. A stupid goof like this really shouldn’t cost a kid a potential year of school
Have seen elsewhere that one of the plays that Asa participated in had a penalty called that nullified the play and didn’t cost Asa a game there. Not sure of the validity on that.
That is what happened. The participation report was wrong, because the play didn’t count.
What a conundrum that would be!
He has not. Burned his redshirt to throw him like 4 swing passes, unless his redshirt is still in tact.
Sounds like you haven't been keeping up anymore than ME, since BASKETBALL is upon us!!
Haha. It’s real and it’s spectacular.
“What a shit show!” Hey @ThrustMaxwell. this may have to be my “8-5”, go to response, to all football posts going forward. Nothing else makes more sense.
