re: How does Saban view the Bama fanbase?

quote:
How does Saban view the Bama fanbase? He probalby does't think about the fan base much or care. He sees the fans as mostly a recruiting tool so that he probably likes, but he also probably dislikes all the potential outside distraction they cause. Every single fan base has lunatics and they scream loudest on the internet and talk radio. The extremist fringe, they represent like <1% of the fan base and seem to be the only people you ever hear from.


Surely you admit that bama has a >1% lunatic/fringe base....

Yes it may be more than 1% but don't act like it's not right in line with everybody's fans. Have you read this board after LSU loses? Every fanbase is hard to please and if you're taking Clay Travis as gospel then you should take Gay Telese as well when he says what he says about Auburn fans. Clay admits he absolutely LOATHES everything about Bama so he would not be too objective. If you consider him objective then we will consider the insults Gay throws at Auburn as credible as well. THat would be the undesireable, can't get in anywhere else, hick kids go Auburn whereas the states nobility goes to Alabama.
