When people say that sort of idiotic stuff
yeah you're right, we should all glorify a drunk who inspired major NCAA rule changes and who used state money to finance investigations into Auburn.
You idiots believe in canonizing a historical sports figure in part because of the lack journalistic integrity. The same reason Ray Lewis is glorified now is the reason the Bear is loved by all. The fact that other SEC schools latch onto him is fricking pathetic.

I see. And you know everything there is to know about Bryant's shady history at Alabama, I'm sure.

30 years, and people still mad.

All right anchorman... I went to Vanderbilt, but I grew up with friends and family who knew him, warts and all. He isn't some far off figure. He's a man. I have sat at dinners and heard first hand stories about him, what he did, what he didn't do that people think he did, and what he did that no one will ever know that he did.
People who reduce him to being a cheater have as much of an agenda as those who make him a faultless God. There is really no difference between those two mindsets, so we all know you are no better than the people you are criticizing. No one can argue that he had charisma, and he brought a lot of good to a sport. No one can argue that most of his peers respected him.
Meanwhile, we have you, mister seemingly lower middle class dipshit reading stories about him on the Internet and saying stuff about him. Again, I went to Vanderbilt, so my favorite team never wins at anything, but I sure as hell can spot a guy who has little going for him except his interest in a football team, and chooses to diminish someone's accomplishments because he has none of his own past the standard mediocrity. LSU is a great team, and I would never offend the good people who love their team and find pride in its accomplishments. In you, one can only imagine a guy who has nothing worthy to speak of personally, and his favorite team has been vexed to usually finish second or third, or worse. It's just as sad as the mediocre people who brag about Alabama because they are personal failures.
