More Bad News For Nigger Faggots!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Alabama star Brandon Miller was accompanied to the
NCAA tournament by an armed security guard Wednesday because of threats directed at him, Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said.

"If you guys saw some of what I've seen sent his way, I think you would understand why that's the case," Oats said of the extra protection the
school has lined up for Miller. "I don't want to get into all that. The
entire situation, as you know, is just a heartbreaking situation on all accounts."

Miller's name surfaced last month in court testimony involving the capital murder case of former Alabama player Darius Miles and another man, who are charged in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jamea Harris on Jan. 15.

A police officer testified that Miles texted Miller asking him to bring
Miles' gun in the early-morning hours of the shooting. Fellow freshman
starter Jaden Bradley was also at the scene. Neither Miller nor Bradley
has been accused of any crime, and the university has described Miller as
a cooperating witness, not a suspect.

The Crimson Tide (29-5) have a No. 1 seed in the tournament for the first
time in school history. They'll play their opening game in the South
Regional on Thursday, facing No. 16 seed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in
Birmingham -- less than an hour's drive from the Alabama campus in
Tuscaloosa.

The guard, who wore a gun, badge and Alabama polo shirt, accompanied
Miller to the interview area and later watched him take part in a light practice.

The freshman, who was the SEC player and newcomer of the year, declined to
go into specifics about the extra security, implying that it was nothing unusual.

"I always travel with security to all the games," Miller said. "That's all
I'm going to say on that."

But Oats conceded that it was hardly business as usual.

"Some of the messages from people that can sit behind fake email
addresses, but who knows whether they're real or not," Oats said. "But if
you'd seen what I've seen, you would understand what's going on right
now."

Oats added that he looks at all his players like his own children: "I put myself in his parents' shoes, and our administration has seen the stuff
that I've seen. It's appropriate. But it's nothing a college kid should
have to go through."

After Miller's name came to light in the case, he received a harsh
reception during a victory at South Carolina, where the crowd chanted
"lock him up" and "guilty."

Miller has repeatedly declined to discuss details of the case, saying last
week only that he has relied on the camaraderie of his teammates to cope
with issues off the court.

"I just lean on my teammates," he said. "They're like family for me away
from home."
