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.

How you developed your skills of deduction based on my opinion of Bear Bryant is mark of true genius. Did you go to Vanderbilt? I'm not sure you mentioned it in your post. Telling people on the internet that your family knew Bear (and that you went to Vanderbilt) is impressive and clearly makes you an expert on the subject.
Now it's incredibly impressive that you have reduced me as a lower middle class "dipshit" because I have opinion on a man who ran a dirty football program and who was an alcoholic. However, since you went to Vanderbilt you should be smart enough to see what I really take issue with are SEC fans, like yourself latching onto him like he was so fantastic.He wasn't. He was just a football coach. It's pathetic. I have no problem with Bama fans loving the man.

Now onto this, "one" can see you as just an arrogant, passive aggressive,sexually-frustrated person, who maybe just maybe beginning to realize that he is not as impressive as he pretends to be . You are most likely surrounded with a social circle that doesn't respect you and a partner that questions your sexuality. Vandy is fantastic school, so you must be one who only gets to vent your frustrations to fans of lower tier schools, in the sense that although your school may inconsistent in athletics, you're vastly superior in every other way.
In short, you're a douche.
