I know this is not what his sole purpose is to the department, but he was working the ticket window for student football pick ups with a smile on his face. I took a pic and i am trying to upload it. He is an awesome guy who really does love Alabama football.

Just re-read my post and saw that I didn't include a "J/K" or any other tattle-tale. Sorry 'bout that.:redface:
Alex--just horsing around, little brother...:wink:

I know its all in good fun, it'd love to ask Coach Kines a few questions...and love to hear his response. When my dad called and ordered 10 or so tickets for the WC game Coach Kines was the person who took his order. Just as my dad was getting ready to give him the credit card number over the phone, Coach Kines asked him what kind of credit card he had, my dad replied Master card, Coach kines respond oh well we don't take Master Cards, and my dads like well we have a problem, and Coach Kines was like, I'm only joking with you. Great story.

what's he doing in the ticket booth? That seems like a pretty menial task for someone of his stature(and rate of pay). Aside from being a regular on the elephant club lecture circuit now, I thought he was in Tide Pride overseeing the sale of ticket packages to companies and corporations?

I think Coach Kines loves The University of Alabama!


He could have been reading through the Crimson White the day before yesterday and come across the HUGE article that talked about the girl that received a citation from UAPD for trying to get her football tickets,

The UA ticket office, from my take on the CW article, appeared to be over-worked and under performing.

Coach Kines could have simply read the article and decided to lend a hand to the ticket office.

I believe he cares enough about The University of Alabama and the well-being of her students, to do something like "working in the ticket office" for just that reason, and that reason alone!

That's just my $.02 :)

Apparently it's not menial enough to be done right by just anyone.

Bout fell out of my chair laughing. Then read on down the thread. Alex way to take a joke man. Wish a few more could stand the heat.
Yeah a joke here and there isn't anything to get bent out of shape about...and if anyone gets too out of hand i'm sure the mods will do something about. Remember they are always watching!
