re: Saban is making us quit

Welcome to our world.

Nick Saban has taken a page from the book of bear bryant.

These days, not many people remember what the SEC was like with bryant around. He used every means possible to tilt the field in Alabama's favor, both legal and illegal.

Do you really believe that bear bryant was such a dominating coach because he just knew X's and O's that much better than all other coaches in the country? Hell, no. He won that much because he stacked the deck so high. The old saying that he could beat you his players and then turn around and beat you with yours couldn't be further from the truth. He didn't want any of your crappy players, and he made damn sure you didn't get any that he wanted. In most cases, the game was lost before you ever stepped foot on the field.

Saban has done the same. Do you really believe that Alabama's coaching staff is just heads and shoulder's so much better than LSU's that LSU doesn't even look to be in the same league? Of course not.

Saban will continue to ignore recruiting rules. He'll continue to oversign and process out the kids when he lands someone better. He'll continue to pretend he doesn't know anything about the T-town menswear network operating at full steam.

He came to Alabama with a very clear directive: win at all costs.

Until someone calls him on it, playing Alabama today will be like playing Alabama under bryant: you're facing a massive uphill battle before you ever step on the field.

The NCAA isn't going to do anything about it unless the other members of the SEC demand it.

People better wake up.
