The river's a negative though, isn't it?


I wouldn't term the river as either a negative or a positive. TBH, most student rarely go near it. I'd love LSU to have more of a presence on the river which after all is the largest in the country, but that's not really possible. The Army Corps of Engineers maintains the river banks, and it would be very expensive to build anything to conform with their codes.

There is a nice running track along the river, and you'll see a lot of BR's more famous people using it. Les Miles runs it frequently, for example.

The Black Warrior River that runs by UA looks nice and I love what the city has done to the area, but I would never touch that water. I had an environmental class at UA when they had some Olympic trials in Tuscaloosa for the triathlon. The athletes had to swim in the water. We talked about just how bad the water is as they were swimming in it.
