    Better than most SEC fans, I've been to a lot of SEC stadiums and seen a lot. Most LSU fans will just drink, party, and give you all the food you can eat

  • No way Smart is leaving for the Razorback job. My opinion but I think he is actually intelligent and does not see the need to leave for greener pastures. There are none. Bama's D is stifling year in and year out. He is the ultimate pseudo head coach. More recognition and vastly more important than any big ten head coach and more important than 75% of SEC head coaches.

    I actually think he is the reason Bama is pulling "out of this world" recruiting classes the last 2-3 years. I believe players buy into the fact that he is going to be at Tuscaloosa a long, long time. Smart passing on the Ark job will be another feather in his Bama cap and it will most certainly pull the best defensive recruits in the country even deeper into their commitments or their planned commitments.
    Go Gators!

  • Ive been to:
    Tiger stadium 3x
    Title town 1x
    Fayettville 1x
    Knox more than 10x
    Vandy 1x
    Auburn 2x

    No offense but by far the worst fans I have ever seen are the ones with the best food. The fans take the game to an uncomfortable level all 3x's I've been there. It seems they dislike everything and everyone associated with their program and every time I leave wondering why they even watch the team they hate so bad. Just my opinion.

    Nevertheless, you are correct about the food and if you get a calm bunch they are super good folks and very open.

    I can give an arrogant, condescending opinion about most of our young Gator fans as well. However, I don't think they strike a fear of getting stabbed into someone's head.

    And I have to ask...what is with all the Trash that is thrown everywhere in the area around the stadium? It really looks like a garbage dump when we leave. Ive noticed on every other campus there is never any significant trash on the ground where folks enjoy themselves. I know that I am never to trashed to walk my happy ass to a trash bin and throw my trash away proper.

    Awesome program, awesome coach and top notch facilities. Everything that should be desired in a top flight program so Im not sure why the discord amongst the fans?

    The new tiger facility next to the stadium is kick ass.

    Oh they throw trash everywhere. When we have games in Tuscaloosa, naturally there will be some garbage left around because there were over a 100,000 people just there. But when LSU comes to town there is trash everywhere..I mean everywhere. Time before last they were down I could hear trash hitting the bottom of my car driving down University Boulevard early Sunday morning.

    guess it's pretty easy to clean up after your crew since AU can't even sellout the stadium.

    Kirby would be a "smart" hire, also I think Charlie Strong would do good there.

    Both would be good hires and Kirby would be stupid not to take the job "if" it was offered in the offseason. Arkansas is going to upgrade their facilities and Arky isn't exactly a shitty place to start a HC career. Charlie Strong would be an awesome pick as well. Mullen wouldn't be bad either because he could be more competitive than he will ever be at Miss State. I think he just picked the wrong time to take an SEC West job. I really think Mullen is a good coach.

    Maybe not in Auburn, but Tuscaloosa is not bad at all after our games,

    Do you know how many defenses Grantham has put his stamp on?

    Hokies, Colts, Cowboys, Browns, Texans, UGA. The guy can flat out coach the d-line, on any level.

    I am not sure if you meant Todd Graham since we are talking about possible Arky hires, but I completely agree that Grantham is a better DC than Smart. Smart doesn't even run his own D (yes, yes bama fans we KNOW. Saban just sits in a lawn chair drinking pina coladas while Kirby does it all. blah). Grantham had a top 5 defense with really just enough depth for a 1 and half deep in only his second year...

    That said, please don't mention Toddamn Grantham, we don't want to give Arky any ideas and them actually hire him. tongue

    Fwiw..Had a blast in New Orleans with LSU fans when we played in the BCS Championship. We were invited to several parties and went up to a private party in the French Quarter. Sure we would get the occasional drunk who took the tiger bait thing too far but IMO the best fans I've ever been around! Introduced me to Abita Purple Haze!! I can't say thank you enough!

    Yes, Im talking about Grantham, lol.

    He would be the ultimate homerun hire, imo. But, I dont think he leaves UGA right now.

    He did turn down the Falcons job, so Im assuming he's comfortable at the moment.

    Seeing as though the Colts, Browns, Texans and Cowboys defenses were fvcking useless under him than yes I'm calling him out. Win a fvcking ring or shut the fvck up. Kirby has two and how may does he have?

    Useless?

    Ok, you obviously haven't watched ANY football, outside of Bama, Im assuming.

    Which is perfectly fine.

    But, you'll be hardpressed to find a hardcore football fan that would give Smart the edge over Grantham.

    I actually watched all of Georgia's football games under him. I've also watched all of Alabama's games under Smart. I know people put a lot of Alabama's defensive prowess all on Saban but that's just not the truth. Smart is integral in what we do. Point blank and period is that Grantham has never had a defense as good as Smart has had multiple times. 09 and 11 should show that. For what it's worth hire Grantham. I want Smart as long as we can keep him.

    P.S. Colts defenses sucked. Browns defenses sucked. Texans defenses sucked with him and the Cowboys haven't had a defense since the early nineties. So yeah they sucked.

    Kirby is good.

    No offense, but you really dont know what youre talking about. For one, when he left Dallas they were top 2 in points allowed.

    You never heard about how the Colts dline turned it up after his hire? They had close to 60 sacks his first 2 yrs there. (Went from 3-13 to 13-3)

    He did suck at the end with the Browns, but that organization hasnt had players for awhile.

    Look man, UGA made an awesome awesome hire in Grantham. Look at what he did there in 2 yrs.

    Kirby has been awesome at Bama, but Grantham has been solid at every stop. Even when he left Vtech to coach Saban's dline.

    I would still take Smart over Grantham. I think both would be damn good HC's but Smart has learned "the process" of college football under Saban a lot longer. I think Smart is the choice.

    Seeing as though this is a college football recruiting website, Smart knows a lot more of that aspect than Grantham.

    Yeah, I actually agree with you there.

    College recruiting is different than anything in the NFL.

    And Smart really has a lock on his type of players in the southeast region.

    So ok, I can agree with that.
