Fair enough, I think I did a poor job of explaining myself and the gross use of hyperbole in regards to Lowder and McGregor. Jon is the type of man who I believe things he says at face value for what its worth.

Ha. Word. Jon is a good guy, I'm sure he meant Lowder isn't entrenched in the day to day stuff like he used to back during the BOT and Dye days.

Football: The apathetic fanbase. Oh, and that every coaching opening has Franklin's name in or near the top 5. Thanks for the compliment, but I shouldn't be having heart attacks yet.
Basketball: Fire Stallings. Also, some renovations to Memorial in the bathrooms, concessions, etc would be nice. I freaking love the atmosphere in there for big games though.
Everything else: No real complaints.
Auburn (Where I go to school)
One major complaint: I WANT TO WATCH GOOD BASKETBALL! QUIT SUCKING!
Other stuff: And again, the heart-attack method of winning is not good for me either. Also, a men's soccer team would be awesome. Yes, I'll play without added scholarship. Club soccer is great, but the added legitimacy would be beyond incredible.

No complaints. All arrows are pointing up from the new chancellor on down.

We don't win the "big" ones.

Our fans obsession with The University of Alabama

Never quite getting to where we should be based on our money, resources, size, and recruiting location. Frustrating 10 years since we last won our conference.

I still have the sports illustrated with Porter on the front.

Pinkel cant win the big game.
Stadium capacity is 74,000 as of next year... although the master plan is to expand the south endzone to make it about 83,000.
What it will look like next year:
What it could look like it 2016 or 2017:

The biggest complaint about your program?
Easy: the lack of commitment by our administration toward achieving championship/elite level football, baseball and basketball at UGA. We have the in-state talent to reach that level in all 3 sports. They just don't want to spend the money on elite coaches and facilities to make it happen. But objectively in their defense, their focus has been on improving the academic standing of UGA and toward that goal they have been successful.

Football related? Not much really. I'd like to see a long tenure for a head coach and get our AD replaced.

Biggest complaint of mine is instability at head coach. We've had 3 in the last 3 years and 4 in the last 7, and we've had a total of 6 (7 if you count Kines' interim stint) since entering the SEC twenty years ago.
Another complaint of mine is the provincialism of our fans, and the in-fighting it causes. If you're from or live in East, Central or Lower Arkansas, you're supposed to want games played in Little Rock and be against all things NWA, and vice versa.
A good deal of our fans only care about themselves and not the greater good of the program.

Home football attendance...

Can't think of one really. Everything is being upgraded or updated. There is some talk about leveling Hearnes Arena, but not sure what is going to happen with that area just yet.

Too much advertising, and mostly lame stories warmed over from the press guide.

The fact that we spent a shite ton of money to buy a huge screen in death valley, only to use about 1/3 of it for football. The other 2/3 is just for brighter advertisements.
The fact that when really critical games are going on we NEVER show live cut-ins. LSU basketball was playing against a ranked team during the Arkansas game, nothing. The 2:30 CBS games are always ending when people want to go into the stadium, but we refuse to show them. "Forget A&M vs Bama, id rather see a bunch of pictures of kids in LSU gear that there parents sent into crowd cameo."
Baseball - historically nothing but as of the last few years we always are playing our worst baseball around the time of Omaha.

LSU...
Why can't we recruit better offensive lineman?
I'm not usually one to pile on coaches, but I believe the O-Line coach has A LOT more to do with this than the talent of the O-Linemen we've recruited. We've recruited plenty of talented O-Linemen at LSU over the past several years. Yet, they aren't developing into great college linemen.
At some point, you have to point the finger at coaching when it has been that consistent.
