thought it was a classic Northeast elitist smear on two fine schools with great athletic programs. It made ALL Alabama fans look stupid and Auburn as well and they are not.

Yes, the same people who support the rapist arse slamers at Pedo State. You wouldn't see either fanbase support a coach who covered up such horrible acts.

As usual, ESPN just reinforced the ingrained northeastern stereotypes of Southerners

I thought he nailed the fan bases quite nicely.

Harvey Updyke just reinforced the ingrained northeastern stereotypes of Southerners.

It was watchable...but I felt like they left a lot out that would help people get a better feel of this rivalry...

Kinda what I thought as well. I thought they just scratched the surface of the rivalry and why it is what it is.

Bo had the best and really most profound statement about the tip of the iceberg (all the show really touched) and the fact it is a big arse iceberg.

ESPN is a devout liberal organization....I hate it when they editorialize. I thought the piece was horrible and way overdone....made Harvey look like he represented Alabama....where is the hit piece on little Nick....his language and the way he treats players and coaches and the way he uses Athletic directors????

Glad I didn't watch it, because I would have seen it too and it pisses me off that people out there think anyone that lives outside of the south's shite doesn't stink.

Yeah, I said last night I was not happy with it. I really thought it was pretty shallow without enough effort put into it. The portrait it painted of the fans was pretty bad, but some of that is the ugly truth, like it or not.

I think one of the ways it could have been better would have been interviewing more fans of the well spoken intelligent variety that graduated from the Universities as opposed to the Fbaum trash. Also, I take offense to the line about the Fbaum show - either you are a listener or liar. I listen to about 2 hours of the show per year on average (like I listened to Pat Dye for 30 minutes the other day).

Honestly, I feel like interviewing someone like me that is a 3rd generation grad and really understands the rivalry (and there are plenty of us on both sides) it would have added some depth to the show. Whoever said that the rivalry often means more to the fans than the athletes was right and that was a part that was missing. And I am not talking the idiot Fbaum moron fans or Updyke either.

But it did show that auburn was so chapped by bama's 09 season that they would pay errrr do anything to match it.

Thanks for completing the stereotype moron.

I knew what it would be like, so I did not watch.

Thanks for confirming though.

This.

I am an LSU fan/grad and so is my wife. We were married in Fairhope. We love the state. Just not the teams.


This espn crap was a sham. I hope Bama/Auburn sees this group of germans for who they really are now. It made the whole state look pathetic when I know for a fact it not to be. Even the football teams are pretty good!

Did not like it that much. It was the Finebaum/Updyke hour. I thought I was going to learn something about the rivalry.
