Most SEC Schools are either college towns or have rough areas around them.

Either is just the university and the town around it to provide for that populations or it’s that plus a shitty southern city.

Gainesville is a dump. They have better retirement situation though for all those millions these coaches make.

There are really beautiful areas around BR and there are trashy run-down areas - just like most of the larger southern cities.

And there’s nothing special about Gainesville either - it too has nice areas and run down areas

And how often do millionaire coaches spend in the ghetto parts of their city on their personal time? How often do any of us?

People judge BR as if the entire city is Plank Road and Choctaw. It’s been 25 years since I’ve driven through those areas.

Yes BR can improve but so many people act like the entire BR metro area is Mogadishu.

The head coach of LSU will never have to deal with the undesirable parts of the City, that's just how it is

There are a FEW AREAS of BR that are nice. The rest are shitholes. The shitholes are present because the people living there are trash and don't give a frick.

Pretty sure hes not living in north BR. Plenty of nice parts of town. Every city has shithole areas, especially in the south.
