re: Sad that many alabama fans don’t care about baseball

My son and I were watching the Bama/ Florida game last night, and I was telling him about Bohannon. (he's 8) My comment to him was, "I wonder what they could have been this season if they hadn't had a coach undermining them and betting on them to lose them during it." It truly is something to consider - is this just a result of the chip on their shoulder that whole thing caused? Or are they better than their record due to a weasel at the helm?
