Maligned former trainer lands on his feet

Hey everyone. I was surprised today to learn that Tommy Tuberville, now of Texas Tech fame, has hired Arnold Gamber to be his head athletic trainer.

You may recall that Gamber worked at Auburn from 1999-2009. His image was tarnished after allegations surfaced that he played a key role in Chaz Ramsey's physical problems -- or the lack of attention paid to them. That lawsuit remains on track for a February trial.

Evan Woodbery slyly learned in late June that former offensive line coach Hugh Nall has been dropped from the suit. Gamber has not.

Odd choice? I'd say so.

Kathy said...: Tommy stays loyal.; 6:31 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Yes he does.

If Eldon Hawley turns up in Lubbock, I'm going to write a story.; 6:32 PM
Anonymous said...: This seems like loyalty to a fault. Of course xCTT has done that before also.; 6:43 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Gamber is a very good guy. Sad to see him caught up in the mess and glad he is back to work.

I have some funny Hawley stories. Just not appropriate for here.; 6:45 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I'm 5 threads back or more on the comments. There's some catching up to do.; 7:01 PM
ehyou said...: That Woodbery is a sly one.

PF in the house. What's up?; 7:03 PM

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Iowa; 7:46 PM
chip chip said...: which is better?

lebron james' 1 hr hat choozin' special tonight

i'm disappointed in jgt for not cramming lebron down our throats and up our rear ends like every other respectable sports journalist in the nation. instead he goes and covers world cup '10. isn't that all you guys are allowed to talk about this week?; 7:49 PM
Unknown said...: Tubbock will be opening their season on Sept. 5th against SMU. The game is to be televised on ESPN. It should be interesting to see Tuberville with a wide open offense.; 7:54 PM
Jet said...: Tommy's puttin' the band back together.; 8:14 PM
ehyou said...: Are you gentlemen football coaches?

No ma'am, we're duck hunters.; 8:21 PM
michael said...: Could Lebron James have done this more awkwardly?; 8:34 PM
ehyou said...: My gosh I am glad that's over with.; 8:41 PM
CHB said...: Miami just won the championship. No team has enough quality defenders to guard Miami's starting lineup. If someone steps up as an outside shoot and they have a little bit of bench play they can't be stopped.; 8:48 PM
CHB said...: G, glad you are back and brining some football news with you.; 8:51 PM
Dear Leader said...: Busy day Jay...

leave for a few hours and 3 posts... bam...

morale of the story... never leave HABOTN..; 8:55 PM
CHB said...: Whoa....I didn't know dear leader could speak engrish!!!!!!; 9:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael - I wouldn't know. I wasn't watching. Maybe the one other Hottie who was watching can answer.

What? There wasn't another Hottie watching the LeBronathon?; 9:10 PM
WarEagleRK said...: If Eldon Hawley turns up in Lubbock, then locking players up in sheds might be considered good press.; 9:25 PM
Anonymous said...: It makes good business sense for ESPN to create hype during a slow sports season to increase viewership.

I completely skip any programming on the network during such times.; 9:41 PM
Anonymous said...: A 16 year old won a $1 mil settlement against her parents because they changed her Facebook password. Based on that lunacy, a judge will surely(and wrongly) hold a football coach/trainer accountable for causing a player to be injured during rehab.

I'm also guessing that hold harmless clause in the student-athletes scholly contract won't mean anything to the judge.

The need for legal system reform is doing more harm to this nation than the need for healthcare system.; 9:51 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: No team has ever won a championship without playing a single game yet. Their chances look good, but the only thing guaranteed are taxes and death.; 9:51 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Are the rules the same for a player to transfer as a walkon as they are to transfer with a scholarship? In other words, would DA still have to sit out a year because he's paying his own way?; 9:52 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Adam West vs Billy West in the Thunderdome. Who wins?; 10:11 PM

Mark it dude.; 10:55 PM
chip chip said...: morbo would eat all anchors and their children for breakfast. literally. he likes the taste of humanoids with his grits.

"mean gene" may put up a fight if gorilla monsoon was there to help.

morbo curses the puny cousin humpers and their false idols and will raze their civilization of west vance to ashes!!!!; 11:58 PM
Unknown said...: Wow, Tennessee turned down a chance to play Kiffikin.; 12:08 AM
Unknown said...: This is pretty interesting also.

"The report of the Vols' decision not to play the Trojans follows an announcement earlier this week by sophomore defensive end Malik Jackson that he would transfer from Southern California to Tennessee for the 2010 season."; 12:11 AM
wellsAU said...: I like D Wade. Hate the bron. Disappointing to see him make the move down south and ruin a potential struggle between NY and Miami, and also ruin the chances that Wade hits ring #2. Everyone knows bron bron will never win a ring because he's all hype and no finish. Then again he's never had a supporting cast like this.

On the previous thread: I'll up Jay's ante and say that CM2 will be everything Auburn fans expect him to be. He will not miss the dink and dunk routes like we've seen sparsely since '06. He will miss the occasional long ball because he's not Ryan Mallet or Kiehl Frazier (hello 2013/14 AP title), but he will truck. He will create plays and be the ultimate play maker on this team. He defines leadership, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Call me crazy, but I earnestly believe the possibilities are endless.; 1:57 AM
wellsAU said...: In that statement, I meant starting sparsely in '06, and continuously growing since. We've had a major problem with completing the passes on our check off routes.; 1:59 AM
E-Bro said...: Buenas dias unos calientes!

Today gonna be a good day.; 4:43 AM
Honey said...: Good morning, Hotties!! And, yes, E-Bro, it is a good day. If I make it through today, I've made it through my first week of boot camp!!!; 4:47 AM
E-Bro said...: Good luck, Cincy. You've got this.; 5:05 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Happy Irony Day to all the Eurasian Hotties!

For the rest of us, we can celebrate that it is only 57 days til kickoff!

GO TIGERS!!!

WARRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!; 6:12 AM
E-Bro said...: Rumor floating out of Knoxville that there was a big bar brawl last night involving UT players, including Janzen Jackson. Saying they almost beat a cop to death.

Players supposedly involved were DaRick Rogers, Janzen Jackson, Darren Myles Jr, Greg Clark, Marlon Walls, Montori Hughes, Denarius Moore, and Matt Milton.

Have to see where this one goes.; 6:13 AM
WarEagleRK said...: It's not the 1st time I've heard of issues with UT players...actually it's not the 100th time tha I've heard of issues with UT players.; 6:14 AM
WarEagleRK said...: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/jul/09/vols-football-players-brawl-bar/?sportscollege; 6:16 AM
E-Bro said...: Now the Chattanooga Times Free Press is reporting it.

Wow.; 6:19 AM
E-Bro said...: RK knows, but I'll back him up with the link.; 6:19 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I wonder if the bar owner is a booster for UT? If so, then I'm sure there are some NCAA rules violations there.; 6:23 AM
mytommyd said...: If this is as bad as it sounds, it will also be interesting to see how Dooley handles it.

Morning Hotties! Happy Friday!; 6:41 AM
Norm said...: Morning folks. Without a doubt, this has been the absolute longest 4 day work week I've ever encountered. But, the important thing is that we've made it to Friday and we're one day closer to football.

Keep Hate Alive.; 6:42 AM
mytommyd said...: I also hope something like this happens in Columbia so Steve can get in a predicament again about his fighting gamecocks.; 6:42 AM
mytommyd said...: It'd also be real funny if something like that would happen in Tuscaloosa, but Nicky has that place so sewn up, no one would ever hear of it, and I'm certain the event would be hushed.; 7:02 AM
WarEagleRK said...: If a story like that got out in Tuscaloosa, the person reporting it would turn up missing and jobs would be lost at the newspaper.; 7:08 AM
ehyou said...: I think I'll keep hate alive today.; 7:22 AM
Norm said...: You will if you know what's good for you.; 7:24 AM
missinit said...: I think I saw THT yesterday in downtown Charleston. Yep, it had to be him.....North Carolina plates read "MR MAPS 1." I waved.; 7:28 AM
ehyou said...: Ah, Norm, as usual your timing is uncanny. And by uncanny, of course I mean...completely canny!; 7:32 AM
ehyou said...: You'll never guess who they were talking about on ESPN radio this morning...; 7:34 AM
Norm said...: I'm not listening but I bet they're talking about Satchel Paige. What do I win?; 7:35 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I'm guessing they are talking about Aycock and his decision.; 7:37 AM
E-Bro said...: I'll go with Paul the psychic otcopus.; 7:38 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'd say there are some problems at Rokcy Top.

Also regarding LeBron and the Heat. How can they fill that roster out? 5 Guys will always beat 3 guys in that league. I just don't see them winning it anytime soon or being able to get quality men to fill the roster.; 7:47 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: There is blood on the hands of the UT fans that called for Fulmer's head. They wanted more. They got destruction, instead. Oops.; 7:55 AM
Jet said...: Frankendoofus ...

It wasn't getting rid of Fulmer, it was hiring Kiffin.; 7:58 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Yeah, because Fulmer never had any player discipline problems.; 8:06 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: There is a reason that EDSBS has the "Fulmer Cup".; 8:07 AM
Norm said...: The downfall came with Fulmer stabbing Majors in the back. Who's with me people?; 8:08 AM
E-Bro said...: UT may have just gone ahead and sewn up the Fulmer Cup (investigation pending of course).

In fact, EDSBS is expected to call it any minute in favor of the Vols.; 8:09 AM
Jet said...: Fulmer's milk had expired ... add in a questionable element of recruits, and it sent UT on a descent.

Then comes Kiffin and his reign of error.; 8:12 AM
Jet said...: As I recall, the wise old Hoopie didn't have the highest of hopes for Da'Rick Rogers.; 8:17 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: missinit - that's funny! I'm almost jealous. Except I greatly prefer my AU plates (with 4 character limit) to MR MAPS 1.

One year I did have OLDMAPS on my NC plate, but I refused to pay the vanity fee the next year since all you get is a renewal sticker to put in the corner of the plate. I think a vanity plate fee should only be for making the plate. There is no "vanity sticker" and there should be no fee for such.; 8:35 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Jet,

The two events are pretty highly connected. One begat the other. Such was my point.

As far as Fulmer's discipline problems, I agree. The current situation there seems like a chaos beyone anything Fulmer could have created/mis-managed; 8:48 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, at least the players should have good legal counsel. But would the NCAA allow a HC to represent his criminals, oops, student-athletes in court? I bet not.; 8:52 AM
E-Bro said...: A guy I work with is a big South Carolina fan and he keeps a wrap sheet at work of former UT players from about the mid 90s on who have a criminal history. It's pretty extensive and it's not just white collar crime. It involves mutliple murder/manslaughter charges.; 8:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: bar co-owner "We had all the UT football players come in. They’re on a first-name basis with my husband (and co-owner), and they get VIP status, which means they pay no cover at the door."

Unless all UT-Knox students get in free, wouldn't that be a violation of NCAA rules?; 9:03 AM
Anonymous said...: Yup ...seems like Da'Rick blew up quicker than even Ol' Hoopie would have predicted. If Da'Rick gets booted will his HS QB co-recruit buddy be far behind? Daddy's money may not be able to fix this.

Ebro ..good question on CDD ..what will he do?

Ronnie Brown was given opportunity by several local folks and respectfully accepted the responsibility that comes with it. Da'Rick has a bad attitude about many things and that attitute is amplified by a thug obsession.; 9:08 AM
WarEagleRK said...: THT,

I think it would only be a NCAA violation if it is shown that the owner of the club is a UT booster, otherwise it's just a random person letting people in for free.; 9:15 AM
Norm said...: Hoopie - email sent to your profile email addy (mentioned in case it's not checked regularly).; 9:16 AM
Anonymous said...: I would imagine that the bar owner could easily explain that the football players are a loss leader to attract other patrons. Kinda like letting hot chicks into the dance bar for free.; 9:17 AM
WarEagleRK said...: It seems that Rogers is the only player officially being named in the brawl so far.

I'm guessing Janzen Jackson was just there and had no idea what was going on, much like last year with the robbery at the gas station.; 9:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: haven't heard from Michael yet. I guess on official Eurasian holidays the interwebs are closed.

maybe I should take a dig at Memphis.; 9:25 AM
Norm said...: THT - just be sure not to ask him about his business.; 9:27 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: OFFENDA, the Official Eurasian News Distribution Agency, is reporting that puppets are celebrating in the streets of all the major cities and are barbecuing goats.; 9:31 AM
Baldy said...: Perhaps some of the UT campus police should go out for UT's football team, because if they ran down players that can run a 4.4 forty and arrested them, well, I'd say they missed their calling.; 9:36 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: make it happen THT....; 9:41 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: and a HELLO KENNESAW!!!!!!!; 9:42 AM
Anonymous said...: RK ....funny how Jansen is always "nearby".

I repeatedly ridiculed $aban on the AL.com boards during his first year discipline problems that lead up to the LaMo halftime mutiny. To his credit, $aban threw the mutinous seniors under the bus when the pro scouts came knocking. That action along with a few more restrictions finally got his teams attention.

How far will CDD have to go to do the same?; 9:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: great set up, Scottie B. 2.0 had just called to tell me the appointed time was near.; 9:43 AM

WarEagleRK said...: Scottie,

That sounds about right.; 10:05 AM

i'm meeting by bestest AU bud at P.F. Chang's for lunch in an hour. i'm starving. yummy.; 10:05 AM

Next high game was a 225; 10:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i bowled a 225 once, but my lifetime average is probably near 100. Bowling is just one of many things I stink at.; 10:17 AM

Mmm...good.; 11:20 AM
Unknown said...: It will be interesting to see if Dooley brings the smack down to the UT players. Stuff like this is one of the indicators that Fulmer had problems. Either Dooley squashes it, or UT's tradition continues.; 11:26 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I have no doubt that DD will squash it like a bug under Chumley's foot.; 11:27 AM
Unknown said...: Apparenlty Darren Myles Jr was also arrested.

I am so glad the Chizik handles our team issues so well. Eric Smith came very close to no longer being with the team. Even with a lack of depth he kicked several players off the team. I admire that.; 11:31 AM

Thankfully, I had sexy legs so it was no problem.; 11:32 AM

ehyou said...: So you weren't talking about Tennessee Tuxedo's buddy?; 11:52 AM
Norm said...: I used to play a pretty fair amount of tennis back in the day too. I'm sure I was excellent. I'm also sure given the timeframe that I had some of those blasted extra short pants.

Tennis is apparently a pretty big deal here in the greater-ATL area. Our neighborhood is small-to-average sized and has at least 4 tennis teams. They have lots of tournament plaques around the courts. It's been probably 20 years since I picked up a racket with any seriousness and from what I've seen I could walk on the court and beat most of those folks tomorrow. The other handful may beat me, but they'd know they'd been challenged.

These days, my experience with tennis consists of moving the vehicles out of the garage and playing a game with F4*. I bounce the ball over to him and he hauls off and whollops it with the racket right at me while I turn away from the ball so it doesn't hit me square in the face further screwing up my already hosed up vision. He loves it. That boy can knock the fool out of a ball.; 11:52 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou - that's how Chumlee got his nickname, but he spells it with 2 eeeeeeees.

Pawn Stars is one of the best diet-inducing shows on TV.; 12:04 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou - I like history and Americana, so I enjoy it... but not enough to remember what time it airs. Those fat guys can be pretty funny occasionally.

What I don't like? That stupid picker show. Bores me to tears and they are out picking crap.; 12:09 PM
Unknown said...: Some of the stuff they get in on Pawn
Stars is very interesting, although it isn't a show I keep up with. The highlight of the show is when one of the younger guys buys something that is fake.

It is good for when a Cheers rerun isn't on.; 12:15 PM
Unknown said...: The picker show is like a tour of Mulletsville. There is nothing like a show where guys go try to discover gems in the crap some people have in their yard, and there is a reason there is nothing like it.; 12:17 PM
Baldy said...: Somebody needs to get a video camera at Norm's house as there is an "America's Funniest Videos" moment waiting to happen based on the description of his youngster's tennis game.

Norm, sounds like your kid and mine are cut from the same cloth. Mine just wants to hit home runs instead of volleying. It must be funny to watch daddy jog 50 yards down the street to play fetch, but at some point I'm hoping he catches on as Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.; 12:25 PM
Norm said...: Baldy - you're correct, there are many opportunities in our house for us to win $ from AFV. The constant running is precisely why we play our little game in the garage. Though that does present more opportunities for me to get smacked with the ball thanks to all the careening off the walls, ceiling, objects, etc.; 12:33 PM
Anonymous said...: Pawn Stars and American Pickers can be interesting. Since there is no real plot to the show, it works to have on as background entertainment when doing menial tasks.

Ms Hoopie occasionally claims I have cute legs. Of course that complement is conveniently attached to a new honeydo list item.; 12:53 PM

WarEagleRK said...: Scottie,

While you were out, did any UT players start something with you then gang attack? Because I hear there is an outbreak of that up there in K-town.; 1:13 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: unfortunately no. they saw to ALUM's sitting together and thought better of it.; 1:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i been there, but I ain't b'ham area people. You simply must have the basil roll appetizers.; 1:19 PM

but it feels sooooo good.; 1:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: actually, I went to the one in Mtn Brook, not the 280. Eaten at the one in ATL a zillion times and the one (by different name) in Durham 3 zillion times.; 1:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ch - I also like their peanut sauce (e.g. chicken satay) as much or better than any other Thai peanut sauce I've had, but if they follow the standard Surin formula, the basil rolls must be had. LGGB really loves the Surin baskets. I would too if they didn't have tiny bits of onions. We usually load up on appetizers and have 1/2 our main course the next day at home.; 1:25 PM
Unknown said...: Okay, Jay has revealed one player of the five he is watching. Any guess on the identity of the other four. Cam Newton was a gimme.

Who am I interested in? Fannin, Eric Smith, LaDarius Phillips (yea, really, he could be the short yardage guy), Daren Bates, DeAngelo Benton, Blake, Fairley, Savage, Etheridge. Okay, I couldn't cut it down to four.; 1:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: my guesses are D'Antoine Hood, Dontae Aycock, Tyrik Rollison, and maybe Eric Smith.; 1:55 PM
CHB said...: Thanks THT.

SFC....Adams, Ziemba, Dyer and Bates; 1:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i can't wait til we start chanting/yelling
WARRRRRRRRRRRR EGUAE!!!; 2:03 PM
Anonymous said...: After Cam, who am I watching for 2010? The critical unknown situations:

Bates- Need him at LB and surgery recovery

Savage- Injury recovery-need dbs
Etheridge- Injury recovery-need dbs

McCalebb-get his speed back
Dyer- typical or sensational frosh?

Fairly/Clayton- Can they take it to the next level?

2nd team OL/LB--need experience for 2011.

We got plenty of WRs and are ok at DE.; 2:16 PM
Unknown said...: Dyer will be great to see and will definitely get some playing time, but I am very interested in seeing how Lattimore does at South Carolina. I have seen predictions he will be one of the better running backs in the SEC right off the bat. My guess is he quickly realizes that a good offensive line would have made a huge difference.; 2:16 PM
Honey said...: I love all this football talk. Makes it feel like we are getting close.

I almost made it through a week of boot camp without an injury. Alas, I tweaked my adductor muscle (at least that is what I think it is. The one that connects your inner thigh to your pelvis.) Mr. Cincy will not be happy about that injury :^) Hoping it is just a tweak and will be healed by Monday because we have to run a timed mile then. I know some of you run like a gazillion miles forty times a week, but before starting this boot camp, I haven't run since college!; 2:23 PM
WarEagleRK said...: It's not an individual player, but special teams are an area that should be watched very closely.; 2:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm going to be the biggest loser in our family... not in weight but in the competition. All the folks at BuyMore South brought food today. These "Mexican spring rolls" are da bomb!; 2:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: absolutely, WERK. We simply must field punts more securely and drastically improve our kick coverage.; 2:28 PM

Unknown said...: I don't think you can really blame Boulware too much for the special teams. Both Chizik and Troop were also working with them. I expect significant improvement there with a lot of incoming freshmen playing, especially LBs and WRs.; 2:32 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Also, can we get back to back seasons of solid FG kicking.; 2:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: if not, we'll have a kicker on a stick!; 2:35 PM

Unknown said...: I read an article earlier today that said we had problems with defense last season. I do appreciate people that catch on so quickly.; 2:36 PM
Honey said...: I do expect to see the most improvement on our special teams. Of course, they have no where to go but up.; 2:38 PM
Honey said...: We haven't talked about kicker on a stick in awhile!; 2:38 PM

CHB said...: Cincy,

You are right about no where to go but up. That is one of the reasons I think we will have a great year. We did really well last year with all of the issues with depth and out D/special teams played poorly at times. Our offense will be as good or better, so with a little improvement in other areas it only stands to reason our record will improve.; 3:57 PM

Did you ever send Richard Branson your resume like I told you? He's got an island.; 4:18 PM

Miss you, Jay G.

It occurred to me that these under-aged kids were in a bar and were arrested. MIP(minor in possession) was not one of the charges. Certainly if these kids had been drinking they would have been charged. Is it a positive that they weren't drinking? ....or is that insignificant and it is just awful no matter what that they were brawling?; 4:49 PM

Unknown said...: That is less than two months. We need to celebrate somehow. I am really looking forward to media days too, although you must admit that Chizik is not nearly as likely to make an entertaining statement as our previous head coach.; 6:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm not sure how/why I find media days even remotely entertaining....it's got to be JGT who makes it so. I've never seen people use so many words to avoid saying anything as do the HCs at media days. If JGT wasn't there to put his spin on it, it wouldn't be worth 2 seconds of my time.

hey, there's a flip on the horizon. Somebody tweet Norm.; 7:01 PM
Unknown said...: Media days is the time where players and coaches are given the opportunity to say something stupid. It is always interesting to see who takes the opportunity to do so.; 7:05 PM
Unknown said...: College Football Live is on. Apparently USC has had another player transfer. Hate it for them. Breaks my heart. Kiffikin's dream job just doesn't seem that dreamie at the moment.; 7:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: when I turned to "College Football Live" they were talking to former Heisman winner and college football personality Desmond Howard. The topic? LeBron James. I immediately turned it off.
