Wonder what Jeff Long thought about Fowler and Herbstreit laughing at us?

Well, to be fair, it may have been more 'snickering.' Other times, you could hear the tone of their voices rise, smiling as they talked. You could also imagine the shaking of heads. Is Long, and everyone, okay with this? I was watching the game at a friend's party, so wasn't totally focused all 60 minutes. Even then, some of these things were noticeable.

Had we been a D-2 program playing No. 1 Alabama—with Chris and Herbie clearly drawing the short straw if they had to call it—they wouldn't have sounded the same. Then, there might be a subtle sympathy to their commentary, looking for anything positive to say when they could. But we, on the other hand, had been a historically respected program, a competitive program...and now no one can take us seriously. And they can't hide it.

It's not that they disrespect us, it is just that everyone recognizes our shortcomings and how ineffectively we have performed this season, to date.

AD Long could care less about the program or what anyone thinks.  Probably was at a fund raiser for the Clintons and smooching with other liberals.   

Whoa, there's a hot sports opinion.

I hear you T-jawg. I don't know, I'm wondering if i detected just a little "aww, bless your heard" attitude from them.  :'(

They may laugh at our on the field performance but they won't be laughing when they see that Jeff got us up academically to 10th in the SEC. Oh wait... Never mind. Anyway, there are more important things than being laughed at.

JL was busy counting the beans in the pot and noticed there didn't seem to be any missing, so therefor there is no problem, just a few disgruntled fans who can never be pleased.

IF I have to watch a game they do, the mute is on.  Then I don't have to hear their asinine pontificating.  There were plenty of good things they could have found to say about Arkansas had they wanted to.

You should have unmuted...they had some good things to say.  But, I will disagree, there were not plenty of good things to say.

Cal Berkeley just hired an interim athletic director. They are looking for somebody permanent to increase their graduation rates and help retire a tremendous amount of debt with their fund raising prowess. Any ideas?

Probably didn't bother him a hell of a lot. Seems to have good self esteem, that's what got hi where he is today.

It's a mess and Cole Kelley making a good run is about all that will save a,lot of Careers!

Perfect place for Long.  Please leave Long.

If they were snickering it probably had more to do with our coach running his mouth over the years and then having his ass handed to him still in year 5.

Wasn't JFB's either, was it?

JFBwon a National Title for this University.  Jeff Long hasn't done 5#1+, except some construction Projects.  That's the easy stuff. 

So, the new Pivot for Long is to smear the best coach we ever had?

Now, JFB WAS Nationally Respected.....for real!

IF any AD is not counting the beans for their employer then they shouldn't be an AD. That is true of anyone in a managerial type position.
