This guy gets it.
uh, no not completely he doesn't.
I understand the importance of the extra practice, the importance of being a bowl team........
None of that over rides the importance of NOT going to Birmingham under ANY circumstances.
There is a lot of history behind this statement and a lot of CURRENT goings on also.
I have no desire to discuss it or "lay it out" on a message board.
Maybe times have changed (they haven't)........just suffice it to say that allowing the SEC Office to send this or any AU team to Birmingham will create a level of turmoil in the AU Ath. Dept/Admin/Family/Supporters that will make "jet-gate" and the Ramsey debacle look like a all expenses paid vacation to Disney World.
tifwiw...and just my humble opinion (based on knowing and having seen far more than I should have and would liked to have seen)
