No thanks

you seem like a nice guy, but I have no idea how you won any poster of the week awards, and I'm embarrassed for you materialistic Bama liberals over Coleman


look at these Bama artist renditions of the new Coleman. Only two black guys in the first pic (ZERO black women and black children) and in the second pic, no black people at all. Maybe one Hispanic in the first pic, unless he's just Italian.

Shameful

just like liberals to forget about the black people when the camera isn't rolling

I mean it is butt arse ugly though

She's had a hell of a run.

it is a dilapidated dinosaur

Nah. Maybe you've seen places I haven't but I do have a pass where I can go most anywhere.

They've remodeled. Yeah there are some areas you can tell are 50 years old but I wouldn't call it dilapidated.

It's just too big. Some sight lines are bad, it's dark (and I think it looks dark on TV too), seats are too far from the floor, the students aren't on the front row, etc....lots ot improve on but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.
