re: Just Back From Tuscaloosa--Impressions:

1.) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most SEC campuses are beautiful. Georgia is beautiful, Arkansas is beautiful, Auburn is pretty nice...Alabama is not blowing away recruits because they have pretty buildings on campus

2.) Strip is awesome

3.)It's a good stadium. Amazing though? I disagree. Give me tradition over modernization any day of the week. This isn't the NFL, college is fueled by passion and tradition. The venue is a driving force of that. LSU fans take great pride in "death valley" and "Tiger Stadium". It's almost as if the stadium is it's own entity.

4.) Their fans suck. I've been the last 5 times and it's always the same. It's all piped in and artificial. I'm scared Alleva is trying to get LSU to go that direction.
