That was inspiring and gave me a whole new perspective on the man.

Excellent piece, and an inspiring story. I’m sure he has used his wealth and standing to muscle up on some issues at Auburn…who is to say we would not do the same? Gave me a different perspective as well…WDE.

Great video. 

Nothing is better than stories about self made men. 

Jimmy gets a lot of ignorant innuendo from people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Jimmy has a huge heart.   Our beloved Auburn has benefitted in so many ways because of him.

Wow, that's so freaking good, thanks so much for posting.

Headed back to the beach in June, finally going to stop at Huggin' Molly's this year.

Some of Jimmy Ranes favorite places in Alabama. I totally agree with him on Nikkis West, Felix’s, and Davenports. Never eaten at 1856, but I assume it is great as well.

You're kite about that roach!

Nice video.  I’ve never thought he was the big boogey man some people think he is.  Seems like a regular guy who has had the good fortune of becoming wealthy through hard work.  

[kevon67 2,368]

The man has done much for Auburn University.

Thanks for posting @AU80cruiser. Enjoyed watching that. When you put others before yourself when the opportunities arise you it usually ends up coming back to you in one way or another. Admirable and inspirational story. Glad to have him on our side.

His Yella Fella commercials always reminded me of this cartoon I remember watching as a kid.

Those commercials are so ridiculous that they are funny.  

[NoALtiger 3,873]

Man that was awesome. 

[AU-24 3,119]

Don’t forget, he’s the main guy constantly paying for the Auburn administration’s mistakes. Hopefully with our current Prez, AD and Head Football coach, those mistakes will be fewer and further apart.

That was well done.

Great story on Jimmy!  

[cole256 17,084]

[cole256 17,084]

Nah. I'm no hypocrite, but I have no doubt that he has them just like anybody else. And there's no denying the picking and choosing of having no problem crapping on some people and trying to make heroes of others and I don't give a damn who gets mad about me pointing it out

I respect anyone who come from poor and made something of himself. I'm sure Yella Fellow isn't perfect.  None of us are. He employes alot of people in this state. He wanted Danny Hugh and he got Danny Hugh.

Maybe it is best not to speak at all sometime. “Well done” and “inspiring story” were the responses until yours.

I personally found the clearly slanted story of a billionaire to be very moving. Tears in my eyes. 

Do we like the PTB now? I'm just asking because I've heard them blamed for everything on this site for years. Trying to keep up.

Yeah you're right. It was best for you not to have quoted me and said that
