You just have to understand the mentality of the Alabama nation, which is where Finebaum makes his living. The evil devil Fulmer is gone and the crying has begun on Lance Thompson leaving for UT and he said he would not talk to recruits he had worked on for Alabama. He was then seen at a school in LA. with Kiffin's staff and it is assumed he was recruiting the same kids. He said he was just introducing the staff to the other coaches. Baum went on and on about how Thompson was ruining his credibility and commiting career suicide and Kiffin was acting like a spoiled 5th grader going around raping everyone's recruiting staff. What a bunch of whiners!
They are real skeered boys! And, in the interest of rating's, Finebaum has managed to move some Fulmer hatred over to Kiffin, seems pretty smart to me if it works! So just suffice it to say, it is still a good thing to hate Alabama!
I have heard him speak on both sides when it comes to TN, so I have to remember that he makes his living talking Alabama/Auburn football in Alabama. My most favorable comment of Finebaums was after a fan called in calling for Fulmers execution over the lawsuit, Finebaum said, well, lets remember this....we did plead guilty to all the charges!
