You know how it is these days. We must be inclusive of everyone; commies, trannies, islamic radicals, and even Tennessee fans.

I read recently that the stadium renovation project got put on hold to re-evaluate options and plans, including consideration of a new stadium, due in part to concerns about Neyland stadium's steel support structure.




I've heard that too. The biggest issue with the renovations is that it doesn't address seating or the exterior, the 2 biggest problems.

Fulmer is trying to slow down the renovations so that these can be addressed before they dump another $340 Million into a project that Haslam is pushing.

What is the world coming to? I've got a Tennessee fan calling me a dickface on the Alabama recruiting board for giving Tennessee shite, which is my obligation and right as an Alabama fan. Sad. Who gives a shite if Tennessee's facilities are actually good or not? Is it still ok to make fun of Auburn, or is there nothing sacred?



Plenty, PLENTY, of valid material for you to give Tennessee shite about without resorting to incorrect statements about the facilities.

Definitely 2 areas of concern for that place! I made my first trip to Neyland in 2016 and I must say that I was disappointed. I expected A LOT more with it resting beside the river. The could improve the seating immediately by using an adults arse to measure out the seats instead of a 7-8 year olds arse!!!
Concourses, restrooms, concessions need some IMMEDIATE attention as well.
Too nice of a setting to not have the stadium to match it.

I guess I'll just run all my Tennessee barbs by you first. What in the actual fvck is going on here? Did they make you a mod on this board or something?

You can always leave if you are that sensitive.

Where did you sit? The endzones are like 20 years behind the rest of concourses, restrooms and concessions, and that's supposed to be Phase 1 of the renovations. Specifically the South (Riverfront) endzone.

The west side is updated and looks great, haven't ventured to the east (visitors)side in many years, so I don't know what it looks like.

I do find it odd that as an old school Bama guy where UT is my rival and AU is little more than an irritation, I prefer reading the thoughts of or conversing with VolShaft over the BS of many of the posters with a script A beside their name. Some people know their shite. Some people don't give a shite. And then some shits just thinks they know their shite.

Are we giving Vols and Shaft a hard time just cause he is a TN fan? Are we aren’t all sensitive (defensive ) when we are provoked?

I personally think he’s pretty knowledgeable and quite comedic actually. That’s just me.

Yes. Lets ban all Tennessee and Auburn fans from the Bama board.

With the exception of TigerPaw, he has good info.

I agree. I like V&S. If I had a sister, I wouldn't want him anywhere near her, but I like him

I've been a poster on VolNation for years. Yeah, I know it's a zoo and you've given me shite about it.

I mainly just go there once or twice a week to look for recruiting info. The Batman avatar dude somehow gets away with posting a lot of premium content.

There are a few good posters there and I sometimes get into discussions on recruits or something like the coaching search. I post some info I've run across that would be of interest to them. And I say congrats on new commits.

I see tons of false bullshite posted by Bama haters and get lots of unprovoked insults. About 98% of the time I ignore all of that. After all, it is their Vols forum.

Plus, ignoring it actually works better. It rustles them that I couldn't care less about their shite talking insults and opinions about Bama. And fairly often some of their own will call them out on it, due to my good behavior history there.

Similarly, our guy was getting downvoted by his own, probably for his somewhat inaccurate post and lack of hospitality.

Just offering some food for thought regarding being a guest on a rival's board. Personal insults, childish name calling, pissing contests, etc. on our board probably isn't going to work out well for you.

I know that's just part of your posting style and intended for laughs to some extent, but the SEC Rant board is really the better place for that sort of stuff, rather than our board and especially our recruiting thread.

this is literally the only reason an Alabama fan should need to give someone a hard time. Maybe I'm just old school. I don't mind people from other fanbases posting recruiting stuff in here. I do kinda mind them acting like they own the fricking place, name-calling etc. I don't mind him expressing his opinion that Tennessee has super impressive facilities, despite their main football facility being a complete dump and their training facility being essentially identical in features to training facilities at literally dozens of major football schools that also have nice stadiums. Bottom line, if you're a Tennessee or Auburn or Georgia fan posting on an Alabama sports board you should act a little circumspect.
