if Chimp was in the studio Steve probably would have fellated him.
Would anyone who has ever heard Steve Russell talk be surprised? I mean this comment does not seem like hyperbole.
I remember the one time I called Steve (last year I tortured him with a few tweets that sent him into fits of rage that ended up as commercials...lol), after Alabama '11 and Driskel was like 4 of 11 on throws of 10+ yards including Robinson wide open behind Bama's secondary on multiple occasions. Emmitt Smith tweeted that he had seen enough of Driskel. I called and asked Steve who knew more about offense, Emmitt or Muschamp, dude danced and talked about "knowing the situation", I was not as brash as I should have been and didn't make him answer the Emmitt or Muschamp question.
From the past several seasons, the biggest problems areas for attendance have been the upper levels in the endzones and the student section. those upper levels can be fixed by offering more deals to locals, family packages, etc. the student section is flat out embarrassing. there's no reason to show up in the middle of the 1st qtr. they need to do something like basketball where they track who doesn't show up when they have a ticket and penalize them.
Another big issue, is other SEC teams used to fill their allotment. Now, we have thousands of extra seats to try and fill. Student section is ass. However, I like whoever said that they should let students sell tix to whoever.
