As for UAB refusing to send a spokesperson to Finebaum’s show — that is NOTHING new. Maybe when Finebaum quits referring to the president of the university as a slut and an idiot, they might just be more predisposed to letting their people appear on his show. Do you remember what he did to Neil Callaway on his first interview (which was NOT authorized by the administration, by the way)? He basically called him a drunk and a liar on the air. The UAB administration may be many things, but I don’t think masochistic is on that list. And since when is FINEBAUM the fount of all sports knowledge? He’s just a third-rate columnist with a cheesy radio show.

And DA Darko: Please don’t pollute Auburn with your presence ever again. We would much prefer you stay in that toilet otherwise known as Tuscaloosa. We’re sorry you couldn’t easily score drugs on every corner or dodge gunfire as you do on weekends in T(hug)town.

And to think, several alumni take pride in knowing they attended school there. If that were me, which thankfully it’s not, I would be emotionally scarred for the rest of my life. Five years in that lifeless hellhole? I would’ve probably already stuck a gun to my head and pulled the trigger before entering my second month as an Alabama Polytechnic Institute student.

Your insults directed toward Cow U are actually pretty accurate.

Sadly enough, I spent the entire weekend of the Iron Bowl last season in Cow Town, but needless to say I’ll never waste my time in that toxic wasteland ever again.

On the eve of the game, absolutely nothing beyond a typical night in Awbarn was taking place. They had nothing going on, entertainment wise, for the fans and what few people you saw pounced around like nothing big was taking place on the following day. After hearing everyone repeatedly tell us to check out downtown, check out downtown, we finally did, after riding through there a countless amount of times. I expected the craziness to equal what T-Town’s downtown and UA’s Strip was, but I was fooled big time. We only came across, MAYBE 3 bars and they were literally dead. People walked around like the living dead. Of course, every time a Roll Tide was chanted (which was frequently), you’d hear a F-that, War Eagle. But that’s all the spirit one could squeeze from the barnies.

I even took the time to ask an AU fan why is it so dead, and he had the AUdacity to tell me (in a serious tone as well) that everyone went home for the Thanksgiving holidays. I found that to be quite absurd and a ridiculous alibi. I surely hope that same guy travels to T-Town for next year’s game, so he can see we still have fun on the holidays (even though it’s quite contradictory knowing your students and fans fail to show up for the biggest game of the season, when they were pouring in left and right, only failing to get out and have a little fun). Gameday was just as lame. People all sat in their tents, keeping to themselves.

Not to mention I got a kick out of the farm lands.

It leads me to wonder what must go through the mind of an AU fan when tailgating in T-Town, Baton Rogue, and Athens where having fun is mandatory. Where excitement is all around you.

Though I must admit, I did enjoy glancing over the AU Rodeo adds posted up in the campus gas stations.

AU is the biggest joke when it comes to tailgating, pregaming, and partying. I even bet their rodeos are lame… Though I’m sure AU fans will take serious offense to that!

Did you know Pat Dye could urinate in a stream almost 40 feet? Or that Bo Jackson almost left Auburn until his salary was doubled? You can find out all of these super interesting facts and more in my coffee table sized book. “I’am Auburn’s Media Whore” (now available in soft back too….)

And despite the fact that your football team is halfway beyond decent, tailgating in Aubarn is like tailgating for an Atlanta Braves game. Not to mention the pregaming and nightlife is about as intense as it would be if you were doing it with rotted corpses.

So if anyone deserves to be picked on, as you would call it, it should be any SEC school, other than Vanderbilt, picking on you.

Pitiful and sad!

You could create a superb out of conference schedule against top teams, and then play in a basketball only league.

Or maybe just shut down the whole Division I sports thing over at UAB, and focus on being a world class research institution.
