Weiszer reports that Mark Richt sat down on radio row with Chuck Oliver at SEC Media Days. Per Weiszer, “(t)he interview was cordial.”
Give Richt credit for being far more generous with his time and spirit than a guy who’s had no problem questioning Richt’s character deserves.
That buffoon still has his radio job? I honestly haven’t missed him one bit.

I haven’t dialed in that station since the Goff days. I thought they went way over the top with Dooley and Barb during his coaching tenure. Most of that crew got canned for being over the top again.

Which crew got canned? I know the morning crew at 790 got canned for a tasteless skit, but I don’t know about anyone over at 680.
Haven’t listened to Buck & Kincade in 8 years (horrible talk radio) and stopped listening to that Auburn tool Chuck Oliver since the incident described here. My guilty pleasure is NPR in the Morning and Mike Bell and Dave Archer for the drive home (I can leave John Michaels). I actually like Cowheard too, but only when he is not talking NBA or baseball.

Yet the “King” recently defended his beloved Auburn to the death on Twitter. Check out late June after Oregon’s “Penalty” (forgive the long C & P)

@kingcfb Lost in all this was the fact #Auburn ceased recruitment of Seastrunk due to recruiting “issues”. Was a HEAVY AU lean. #irony

And then everyone of those players and coaches and teams went on probation . . . and never Auburn. That’s the truth, no escaping it.

Just another example of how classy Coach Richt is. It’s a great example of humility also for an offended party to reach out to the offender and try to patch things up. It certainly makes Oliver look like even more of a jerk for not reaching out first. All this does make me wonder though, is it really possible for someone to be as nice and classy as Mark Richt. I mean, is he real?
