Welcome to the Andy Staples show.

It's a Friday news dump edition.

Auburn is keeping Brian Harson.

And the first person who mentioned that might be a possibility to me was this man,

Aaron Suttles, our Alabama beatwriter, who put that in our Slack chat.

Late Wednesday night, early Wednesday morning, Aaron?

You're like, I think he might, I think they might be keeping him.

And no one believed me at the time.

I sure didn't.

Well, why would you? I mean, if you look at the way that thing was trending, I don't know if it was you that put it out on Twitter today and I thought it was well received it. The call was coming from inside the house. Was that you? No, that wasn't me. But that, yeah, that does sound about right. That's a good way to put it this whole investigation was started internally leaked to the media put stuff on message boards

and you know i like you were talking before we started recording i'm really rooting for brian

harsen and all this he's been drugged through the mud isn't imagine going on, a great place like Mexico. You're just trying to relax. That was nothing of a relaxing

vacation. I'm sure I'm sure the timing of this had nothing to do with it, like that he went on

vacation and then all of a sudden this, this blows up. Yeah, it was a total inside job. And Jay Gouge, the president of Auburn,

who deserves quite a bit of blame here because he's the one who officially acknowledged it last

Friday by saying they had a decision to make. Tis-tisking everyone in his statement. No,

that's that's BS. Yeah. You all did this to your guy and now you want to

blame everybody else? Nobody internally from Albert other than Brian Harsen has has the

standing behind them to say to test to anyonetiss anyone. Like, you started this.

You put this man through that. You put his family through that. There were rumors that put an extended family through that. That put a young lady that works out of him through all of this. It's disgusting, a lot of it. It's shameful. What legal recourse to some of these people? Like, could you, is there a way to figure out who planted some of these things on the message board and sue them?

I mean, I don't know. If I were Brian Harser, I just want to get some of them alone in a room. I mean, it looks to be clear. Like, I don't think anyone, like, officially with Auburn put that young lady in this, but people that support Albert did.

That's the craziest part.
