I'm impressed by your math wizardry, but that has nothing to do with my point.

Why doesn't Saban just cut the untalented slobs instead of the frickups? I mean, those 35 players who, by your numeric magic, will rarely see the field, could be forced into action if there were an injury. A bastard like Saban should be able to forsee this and keep only the best players, right?

Well, that is what he is trying to do IMO. Trent fricked up with TTMW, and information leaking about various benefits he has gotten. If Trent had been a 4th stringer that was creating problems, he would be gone. Or DJ Hall who was fricking up left and right and never got run off. Or Upshaw slapping bitches up down and all around whenever he felt like it. The list goes on, but you get the point.

Saban has forced out 30-40 players (about 10 a year since he arrived). List the starters he forced out.

I mean, look:

Alonzo Lawerence 4* Dumb as a rock. Made all-american at whichever shite school he transferred to.
Glenn Harbin 4*
Chris Jackson 3*
Robby Green 4*(Failed drug tests)
Chris Jordan 4* (Wasn't processed. Was a SR this year)
Star Jackson 4* Transferred to get playing time.
Destin Hood 4* (went MLB)
BJ Scott 5*
John Boswell 4* (Wasn't processed. Was a SR this year)
Brandon Lewis 4*
Jermain Preyear 3*

2009
Kendall Kelly 4* medical issues
Petey Smith 3*
Mike Marrow 3* Transferred for playing time.
Corey Grant 4* Scared of the depth chart.


That is a lot of talent to be giving up when we could dump some of the other guys that have no shot of playing.
