A radio show host that LSU fans are infatuated with. So much so that they feel the need to start a daily thread about him on the Rant and comment about the guests/callers.

Beats me.

He's a Bama guy on Bama radio and why some LSU fans are ate up with him is a mystery to me.

I could care less what the guy thinks or says.

He's an on-air tigerdroppings for Bama fans. Except the "posters" (i.e., callers) are dumber. Some idiot at SI gave him a column. His articles would get C+s in HS freshman english class.

He's a shock jock. The ultimate troll. Nothing more. He has some pretty good guests like Gary Danielson and Tim Brando on regularily. I have yet to figure out why, tho.

He always lets his a-hole callers call in and give any of his guests a hard time. Jim from Crestwood is by far the worst.

Watch the ESPN program called Roll tide/War Eagle to get an idea who he is. He is featured prominently on it.

No he is AWFUL - he is a detriment to SEC football

The sooner people quit patronizing his shows the sooner he will be gone

I like to listen to the ignorant callers that call his show each day.

Regarding the reid INT on female caller was mad and ranting cause it was obvious to her that the TE had control of the ball with both hands while he was in the air. She didn't realize you have to mantain control once you hit the ground.

One guy blamed the NCAA and finebaum for a conspiracy to get alabama to lose because he thought that there was not way in hell there was a block in the back on lee's second INT.

Ahh good times.

He's bad, but I'll take him over "Big Cheeks" Bellavia.

I seriously want to stab him in the face with a pitchfork.

He's basically Jerry Springer for Alabama sports. He gives no details or anything that resembles an informed insight into college football and basically says hello to the callers, lets them rant then goes to commercial break. It's basically the same show everyday with idiots from both sides of the Bama/AU rivalry reinforcing, that, due to a complete lack of personal accomplishments, they have chosen to live their lives vicariously through their teams successes and failures.
This should be PF's Wiki bio.

Spot on.

He is the Voice of Alabama football. Kind of like how Jim Hawthorne is for LSU.

I didn't know who he was until this year but from the little I have listened he has a lot of hatred for awburn. His fans also hate some sports handicapper dude from either south Alabama or Mississippi. Oh and a majority of his fans are very delusional and he wants to fight the lead singer from that 80's girl band twisted sister.

Dude,

You don't get out much, do you? Fine-scum is a sort of minor broadcast diety in Alabama; a defender of all things crimson. That said, don't start listening to his show. You'll get hooked based solely on the entertainment aspects; ie, you've never heard so many ignorant people in one place in your life.
