Keeping up with the (Andre) Joneses
Things are looking up for Texas A&M football. First they beat Texas on the field for the second straight year. Now they’re looking to beat them off the field (along with anyone unlucky enough to answer the door).
Junior starting offensive lineman Yami Babalola and redshirt freshmen defensive end Brandon Joiner were arrested yesterday on suspicion of armed robbery.
According to the College Station police report, two black men entered an apartment and ’struck’ the person who opened the door. This is known as ‘kicking bitches.’ A second resident ran upstairs and escaped through the window. That dude was white and was conditioned to run away from black people at an early age.
The guy who opened the door and another friend were bound with tape while one of the players pointed a gun in their face. The players took some items and then ran off.
When the police later searched both players’ apartments, they found marijuana in Babalola’s and ecstasy and hydrocodone in Joiner’s. A copy of The Reggie McNeal Story was found in both.

I was waiting for this article.
Two very recognizable football players robbing a house in a very expensive community about 10 feet from campus. Smaaaaaart.
What the article didn’t state is that they searched other houses in the community and found mostly lean and cheese, which were instantly identified as “white drugs” and ignored.

What is it with NCAAF and armed robbery? Maybe we need to start paying these guys under the table again to curb their criminal activities.

the only important thing about this story was what their 40 time was when running away from the scene…

Probably a case of mistaken identity. Do you know how many 6′4 300 lb black men reside in College Station, TX? They are going to be looking for a needle in a haystack.

Exactly kchorn04.
It’s not like there’s a place in town you can go sit and watch a jumbotron flashing pictures of every huge black man residing in the area.

Crap, Oluwakorede Olayemi was going to be my first son’s name. I think this incident may cause me to think about that decision.

Did they tape their buns together, too?
Man. What a bunch of pranksters.
I bet the kid who jumped out the window found some icy hot in his undies.

Four more arrests and aggy will match our 2007 record.

“Black male wearing a maroon sweatshirt”
Why not just wear your game jersey, then leave your driver’s license for good measure?
