Ridiculous

This appeared in the Birmingham News this morning. It is absolutely ridiculous this happened. For a school like us that has had little athletic success the past couple of years, we should be bending over backwards to be nice to fans. I am sure this was Langston's doings. Always shuffling people in and out of places like they are the freaking president, not having time to interact with the fans. The article goes on to discuss how the Florida players and coaches stayed to sign every fan that wanted a Florida autograph. Glad I decided not to go to Media Days.


Phil Kurzyna, a 19-year-old from North Carolina, said this year was his third trip to Hoover for SEC Media Days. Kurzyna and his father collect and sell autographs.
By the end of the three-day event, Kurzyna said he had collected signatures from every coach and player attending, with the exception of the Ole Miss players.

"The people that were with the Ole Miss guys wouldn't let them sign," Kurzyna said. "They just kept telling us they would sign later. Usually it's not the coaches and players you have to worry about. It's the people with them."
