I reckon I misinterpreted your post then.

I've been to and have friends in both, there is racism there too.


I think you get my point,though. If some do-gooder on ESPN wants to go off on Auburn,they will. But if another SEC fan living in the South does,they need to look at their own school good and hard.

Barkley is usually well liked by me but he can suck a big fat white one on this one. Charles, it's not always about race. Get over it.

Barkley can cry about race all he wants, fact of the matter is, that if he couldn't play basketball, his fat arse would still be sitting in Leeds doing absolutely nothing.

There is no other way to rationalize this hire.

The deep south is still recovering from the civil war.

Funny how a pro athlete with a whire wife is so adamant on this issue of race. Nothing wrong with his choice in wife, nothing wrong with AU choice in coach.

Chizik is a great hire from a defensive standpoint, and there are a lot of players singing his praises that played for him.

I think AU needed a higher profile person for the job, but can the dude at least try to do well before he is killed from all sides?

well then you missed out on the good points regarding auburn athletic hiring practices


maybe, but consider the source. Charles is the same guy who said golf courses were modified to keep Tiger from winning and actually it was vice-versa. He's still an idiot. He may be right in this case, but I just can't take him seriously.
