We're not gonna pick up some recruit in Atlanta just because we played there instead of Columbus.

Actually, we do. It means a lot to the kids from Georgia to be able to have a bunch of friends and family to be able to come see them play less than 2 hours from home.

Before 2008 our recruiting in Georgia was abysmal. There's a reason Saban lobbied for those games in Atlanta and it sure as shite wasn't due to making sure fans had a good trip.
