While I don't disagree with you, Saban does play the game. He signed Corey Grant out of Auburn's back yard with no intention of letting him play offense, rather intending to put him at DB and if he didn't do well, he'd process him out. Hell, look what happened to Petey Smith. Both of those guys were recruited to Bama to send the message that Little Nicky could get whomever he damn well pleased.
The fact that Chizik, a coach who is given virtually no credit by anyone outside of Auburn, has done as well in recruiting despite Saban's best efforts has to chap his arse at least a little. Especially now that CGC has flipped the script and taken Bama's top rated prospect away less than a year after Bama took Auburn's top rated prospect away.

Spot on... Also, remember the Alabama coaches, fans, etc. were laughing when Chizik was hired... I am just thankful that Tommy "scared to compete with Saban" Tubs was replaced... (Full disclosure: I really like Tubs and hope he does well)

Opelika is only AU's backyard geographically. By the mindset there it might as well be Little Tuscaloosa. Hugh concentration of Gumps that resent the fact they exist because of Auburn University.
