Seems that every new coach has fans at the airport nowadays. Venables just landed in Norman and had the band and a ton of fans there.

Did our "we want a leader not a loser" guy start this trend?

Nope, hundreds of Bama fans met Saban at the airport when he was hired. One of them even sexually assaulted him:

Yeah you're right. Forgot about Saban. That might have been the first.

Seems like not so long ago, yet it’s coming up on 15 years. And we’ll likely never see a scene like that again.

BTW, ol gal died in 2013:

God this thread has reminded me just how awful it’s been seeing Bama fans get everything they claimed they deserved for 20 years.

I can only post-Saban Bama is as histrionic and frustrated as post-Bryant Bama.

That dude in the background wanted to. The lady looks like she might be a cover girl for meth weekly now

The twenty years after Saban retires is going to be glorious.

She got a DUI leaving the airport too.


And yeah, there are so many people at Bama just waiting in the wings for Saban to retire so they can try and exert influence like they did from roughly 92-07.
