to be fair he flat out lied about it in his presser. from what I understand the truth isnt that they were stuck in the elevator but were pissed because AU coaches didnt hold the elevators for them as is custom. what he didnt say was taking the elevator takes you WAY out of the way when heading to the visitors locker and visiting coaches always take the stairs. sounds to me like it was just another of his fat arse coaches making excuses for being derelict. typical flagship type shite

Whoever told you this sold you a complete deep arse pile of BS.

1. Yes they flat out got stuck in the North elevator. That elevator stopped working before the game started but was thought to be fixed before halftime. There are 2 elevators from the press box, North and South. AU staff always uses the South because it's 10 yards from them. Visitors are on the opposite end of the Press box and use the North because it is 10 yards from them. In hindsight the Arky staff should have probably been placed on the South elevator right after the AU staff went down since the North elevator had known problems.

There is no custom to holding elevators as each staff uses a different one and visitor staffs have never taken stars the many times I have worked in the press box.

Regardles...Auburn still would have whooped that arse whether the rest of the Arky staff made it to the locker room or not!!
