Didn't you bring up the idea that he could be a "DA Bammer"?...hell yes, and I let you know that the guy had more Auburn (and other) connections than you'd imagine....nothing wrong with my train of thought...you wearing that new shoe?
WTF does that have to do with anything ? The reference to a DA Bammer" is about the many posters that claim to be fans of other schools but are actually Bammers. I apologize for thinking that you are suffering from dementia, I should have realized your lack of a train of thought was because you were a dumbass. Again, what does his claiming Finebaum hates Bama have anything to do with his Auburn Connections ?

Well now you've got to be corrected.. I have never ran across an Alabama fan pretending to be a fan of a rival school. Hell fire man 25% of us identify with the school equally with being a parent as in I'm a Bama fan and the father of three. And some of the rest will work their school and or fandom into any conversation within minutes. LOL! Alabama fans advertise, not hide their allegiance.
As a matter of FACT a few Auburn folks resort to subterfuge in order to somehow gain cred when slandering UA. As if their wild stories of various chicanery cannot be believed coming from an AU zealot and is motivated by hate. Remember you guys own Thrower, Green and others. The space cadet here and I forget the handle he just created, is very typical. Resorting to a well worn diatribe from several AU sites on his newly created account to throw slander at UA and her football fans. coachcrisp and another poster busted him. No big deal, it's just part of the show. Like in politics, people get upset when their team loses or their rival wins and then show their asses. Particularly toward what they consider to be the establishment, better off folks. And in our fan world Bama has the cache and the victories which is viewed as currency in a sense. So the people who ID as the little folks yell and rebel. The whole damn fan thing is ridiculous but we do it. Carry on.

Bingo! Game over. People don't change their allegiance. I knew Paul when he was a local semi-celeb in Birmingham. He told me he was an alum of UT. And we briefly discussed the rivalry. With both of us ragging a bit on the other. Prior to that when he first began writing for the Post Herald he was vitriolically, yes to zealotry level, critical of the University of Alabama fans and coaches and program. And the AU fans loved him of course. It was ridiculous. Then he leaped with full fury on the Alabama-NCAA case with the two Memphis business guys going at it. One a UT booster who had gotten UT in some NCAA difficulties and was no less than a big mouth slime ball who it was rumored, preyed upon HS kids and college athletes for sexual gratification. And the other a Vandy grad who, it appears, paid Albert Means HS coach money to steer him to UA since they were his adopted team. This was a get back deal. Finebaum jumped on the slimeball and had him on his show repeatedly. To get at Alabama. He ripped Alabama to shreds over and over. I go back much further than most of you guys.
Then he met Slive who altered his approach to being generally supportive of all SEC schools and who helped Paul become who he became. Mike Slive and the SEC made a local UT fan/UA hater with a forum into a celeb and rich. To promote the SEC. Now Finebaum had something to do with his own success. He's a brassy son of a gun. Came into Birmingham and took on the biggest name in the business of college football and likely the biggest name of anything in the entire state, and all her followers. Has Paul now suddenly changed his mind and loves the team he once hated. Giving up his allegiance to his alma mater so he could switch to their bitter rival? I'm sure he like the money he has made by following Mike Slive's direction. But you answer the question at hand. I've never seen an Auburn fan as an adult suddenly switch to Alabama and in Tennessee the hatred of UA is just as strong. Give me a break! BTW, no later than about three years ago he enthusiastically pushed UT under Butch Davis as an emerging power and that year's possible SEC champ.

I find your post amusing at a minimum and delusional at its extreme. The thought that an Auburn Fan would disguise their allegiance to gain credibility in a campaign to slander the fine fans of the UA, makes me laugh and shake my head at the same time. Your own fans are the biggest smear to the schools good name over the years. They do not need any help from other fan bases. The currency you discussed that is used by Bama fans is an attempt to buy themselves some status in life. The majority of the fans have always been the downtrodden of Southern society, looked down upon by the people from other states . They use Football victories as a form of revenge on those people who look down on them, it gives them someone to look down upon themselves. The educated Bama fans have always had an arrogant and exaggerated view of "the University", but that is understandable. This is how it has been in the State of Alabama for 80 years. That is why winning in Football is so important to the University of Alabama.

Your memory is questionable or you are in denial. Paul never denied he was a UT graduate, but he never held back on critizing them or any other school. When Finebaum first started, Bama fans were use to the works of Alf Van Hoose and Bill Lumpkin, who were the 60/70s version of a fansite editor. They would kiss Bear's arse to the point where it seemed he was writing the articles. Paul came in at the end of the Bryant era and the start of the Perkins era. That was easy pickings for his style of writing. Follow that up with Curry and you had the makings of a career. Dubose, Fran, Price and Shula should get all the credit for his being hired by the SECN.
When he started his radio career, it was in the middle of the Curry tenure. It was easy to be popular by both AU and UA fans at that time.
If you really listen to him in the Albert Means period, you knew that Paul had talked about the connections between Logan Young and Bryant, years before this was exposed. He was also critical of the Roy Adams .
Again, it is easy to write about dysfunction.
Bottom line, Paul has a lot of connections with the Alabama, thru the AD and the SEC Offices. He loves Saban and they use Finebaum to get a lot of messaging out. He doesn't hate UA and anyone who says so is delusional.

You lose train of though in one post and now you are trying to insult someone who served his country for over 30 years. Go over to the Naval Museum and talk to those veterans who volunteer there. I would love to read about some fatass in a Bama t-shirt getting his arse whipped by a WWII veteran.
Your friend is full of shite and I do not care if he has convinced you that he is connected. Reading his ramblings proves otherwise.

Dito to you. I'm sure one of your fellow posters will follow up with how connected you are and how you have been in the loop for over 40 years. Maybe it will be jimdog, that is how it works.

I'll give you one thing. You trolled me into a response. It's obvious you know little about coach. He's almost old as me but I can tell you he wasn't born old. You couldn't melt and pour a sane person on that guy when he was younger. He used to drag me into a lounge with free beer for football players on Thursday night for one purpose: to fight Alabama football players. Some of the guys in the lounge were the Hannahs, Baumhower later of the Dolphins. Just a bunch of punks. And they eyed coach warily. He was as big as they and bigger, far bigger than most. And I ain't talking on his shot but he ain't broke either. Corp I worked for sent me to try and buy his Fl corp and we wound up laughing and talking about other matters since he already had a bunch of new, big Texas money boys on the chopping block. He sold and had sense enough to go to the house.
Me, I served too. Where and what I did ain't none of your concern since it doesn't define me. 3 years, 7 months and 11 days. I respect what you did. We are likely more alike than different. I finished school on the GI bill so I was rewarded. Myself and two brothers were all in @ the same time. One skippered Coast Guard vessels in the brown water and the other kept you fly boys turning and burning in the northern most fighter base in country. One carries a tube to breath with and he other lives in the swamp on the Alabama/Florida state line on 100 acres with a 8 ft fence around his place and two 160 lb Iranian military dogs. I'm proud of both and they treat me with respect.
Just so you know I've spent a little time with Pat out at his lake house. Slept in Pat's barn/apt with his friends. And we bird hunted on his place several times. So that's my main connection with what's what and who's who @ AU. Pat never told me crap and I never asked. If it means anything to you, THE GAME IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE! Or was the same everywhere. This has been awhile. One of his friends worked @ UA, UGA and AU. And btw, it is far different @ UA under Saban. He cut all the fringe folks off @ the knees. Don't know or care what's what any place else but Saban doesn't have any outsiders meddling and trying to help. All that was just BS anyway.

Roy Adams was his name son. The SEC was kind of different 20 years ago. Oh and the LB called Bill King's sports talk show from Roy Adams house and committed to UT. Or so the story goes.

I never started it with crisp, he just took offense to some things I posted about Bama and did what many posters do and start attacking the character of the person posting. When I pushed back, it escalated.

My years of service do not define me also, but I do take offense to anyone who suggest that the longevity of that service was due to a lack of ability to do other things. Most of those who I served with were capable of doing any career path they had a desire to follow. Some left to pursue other careers, others chose to stay. No dishonor by either choice.

I appreciate what Pat Dye did for AU, but I also know that his service has been paid back many times over. I do sometimes think he has a sense of entitlement due to his 12 years of service. He protected Auburn from Auburn for many years, but his relevancy is past due. I do not think he has the clout he had 15 years ago. I too know people who have worked for both schools and who run with the big dollar people. The only difference between AU and UA is Saban, and I think that will change when he leaves ( I am talking about the politics within the AD).
I also know people who are close to Finebaum. The first thing they will tell you is he is a really good guy, nothing like the a-hole he portrays on the radio. Some of his best friends are the highrollers at UA and both side use the other to their benefit. That is why I laughed when you claimed he hated Bama.
