He sort of does the same thing Finebaum does, except minus all of the bullshit. One day he plays to one fanbase, the next he will play to the other. I do agree with Chizad in the sense that he is about middle-of-the-road as you will get in this state, though.
Okay if we take this as a story, Finebaum has to be the reining hero of his own radio program. In order to achieve this he has to have a villian, that being Auburn. Over the years he has a working model for what works and what doesn't. On rare occaisions (extremely rare) F-bomb will tilt toward AU but only to get the Bamers hostile while reeling some unsuspecting Auburn fringe into his web but it is short-lived...about one afternoon. Finebaum was shutout by Tubs plain and simple, and he will not pay homage to Auburn in any way because they will not roll out the red carpet for him. It's actually better this way in my mind because he is basically a mouthpiece for Bamer football and when all is said and done he is only knowledgeable of sports in a gossip sense unlike Scarb who actually KNOWS the sports, particularly roundball. So why would Auburn open its doors for a propagandist gathering anything to use at a later date. He has access, it's just limited due to his past actions IMO. And Woodberry can sit in with players and coaches so how can this guy be so clueless as to his place as a beatwriter?
