The editor for the Birmingham rag is an AU alum and us Bama fans have been dealing with the Bama bashing from them for a long time. We don't expect them to write anything good about us.


Funny. I know a lot of Auburn folks refer to it as the Bammerham News. Both fan bases rip on the paper. I guess that means they are doing it right....

Damn, I hope this scribe changes his address soon. The Bama fanbase doesn't want to think about the arguments he's posting.

That guy is asking to get lynched. Good thing for him Bama fans can't read.

LSU, the 2011 AP National Champs, regardless of what happens on January 9th? That's the way it was in the 50s. Good enough for me, then. We've already defeated everybody on our schedule.

The AP will vote the winner of the title game #1, because they won the title game on the field. No chance of a split title.


I agree with you. Winner take all.

I am chuckling on the inside a bit because a game was played on a field in Tuscaloosa that a large majority of your fanbase dismisses the outcome...

That's funny because the BCS trophy is in baton rouge

Unless they split the trophy in half

Very, very interesting. Thankfully, it wont matter. I believe that LSU will beat Bama.

You have to understand that Solomon and all the writers from Birmingham are idiots . . . hence the reason no one reads their crap anymore and they have lost 1/3 their readers in the last 5 years.

They are horrible. Al.com is even worse with the comments.

Solomon is trying to save his job by increasing readership numbers. That rag he works for is going under.

How was the article in any way wrong or idiotic?

Probably also has something to do with the fact that newspapers are a dying industry everywhere.

This rag use to be all Bama but several years ago they had new Aubie owners and editors and since have always taken the anti-Bama angle. Six months ago I cancelled my 40 year subscription. They have yet to figure out that B'ham is a Bama town and have seen their subscriptions cut in half the last 3 years.
