Alabama's biggest mistake was firing Mike Price because he hired a prostitute. Sure, not a good image, but, having seen what he can do at Washington State...Alabama would be a top-25 school easy if he was still at Alabama.

No, no they wouldn't.

Doubtful. Alabama is just now getting over the sanctions and probation. This is the first year they've been able to do a full 85-man roster and even then they are having problems because of lack of experienced talent/depth at some positions...especially on the OL and now the LBs and DBs this year.

Still, the scuttlebutt on Price was that his efforts at recruiting during his brief time on campus was sort of lackluster. Didn't make alot of effort at building relationships with high school coaches. There are lots of complaints about Shula over the last couple of years but recruiting isn't one of them.

If those 6 fans who complained were all sitting next to each other, then they were probably all together and should be treated as one complaint.

If they were sitting in different places near her, then she needs to STFU.

Some people have really annoying voices. And it's even worse when you're sitting directly in front of her.

<-- ACC fan obviously ;)

5-6 teams every year.. :)


All you Orange headed UT fans. When Bama smacks you around, you will put your Orange crap back in the closet as usual.

The knock on Tubs used to be the exact opposite...great recruiter, lousy coach. I like where he has the program headed though.

As for Shula...well, at least you have Don in the stands. I've never been very high on Mike as a coach.

The greatest move Tubs ever made at Auburn was hiring Borges as the offensive coordinator.

Shula gets a pass from me until next year. He should have the depth, talent, and experience for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. He's going to have to be competing for the SEC and National Championships then.

That and I think he actually lets his assistants do their jobs now.

Umm I am a season ticket holder for my university. If some old wench was screaming the entire game and never shutup, I wouldn't have complained to the athletic department, I would have told the bitch myself. There are times to scream as loud as you can and there are times to watch the game.

I had one guy sit behind me and all he did the entire game was complain about how much our players sucked and how much our coaches sucked. I turned around and told the old fart that if his intention was to ruin the game for everyone, he was succeeding. If he thought he was making a difference in our program, he was a complete failure. He shutup after that and everyone clapped when i finished telling the old coot off.

Will you come with me to a few basketball games please? There's beer and a steak in it for you. Thanks.

Old story but I have friends in her section and the lady never quits. Her high pitched screams are annoying and she repeats the same thing over and over. She even screams during the timeouts.

Also glad to see bammers still watching what UT is doing. Maybe if you'd quit getting caught paying for players you would have more fans too. BTW, nice win vs. Duke.

Maybe Fat Phil should try graduating maybe 5% of his players or how about not having guys trafficking drugs while in school(?).

Typical ignorant Turd fan. Guess what...Tennessee was at 58% in 2006. Guess what else...Alabama was at 44%.

Facts

Enjoy the reading!

Yes, and I imagine she's not very attractive...not because that would make her a quieter person, but because fewer people would complain

So...maybe she should find a way to get into the student section.

There's a huge difference in what's expected between the two sections. While a student, I heard things like "I'm gonna eat your kids," "Nice shooting, i love you," "Eat a dick, Kapono" and so forth, in the student section...

In the alumni section, I don't feel like saying anything because there are fans above 60 and tons of kids...

You're right about the section part. You've got alumnis and older people in that section, they go to enjoy a game, not listen to some nitwit scream at the top of her lungs. There's a difference between cheering and being obnoxious and she obviously didn't get that. I'm sure the people she was bothering didn't feel comfortable approaching her about it because they probably thought if she's that loud she might have a temper too. Difficult situation. If it was me sitting next to her I'd try and break it to her gently that she was making me deaf in one ear, lol. If she started kicking my ass so be it.

Yep...that's pretty much why I posted this. Not to start the back and forth of team barbs but because I had never heard of an Athletic Dept calling up a fan and telling them to be quiet. I put up two Alabama fans that I know from personal experience that are pretty annoying but this lady must be miles worse. Most of the time, people (especially the older Alumni) at Alabama games have no problems telling others to sit-down and/or be quiet.
