re: Bama Football - Bear - Saban > LSU Football

What folks don't understand, or don't want to, is teams like Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Texas, etc cared more about college football from the get go. If they didn't, they wouldn't have devoted more time, money, resources, etc to having great programs since the start. Nowadays with all the big money in college football every johnny come lately program in America wants a piece of the big dollar pie. I have much more respect for the programs who have always put an emphasis on college football even when the big dollars weren't there to motivate success.
