re: Congrats to Alabama - Elisha Shaw

The rest of my post is relevant as of course it is a UGA fan who storms in here crying foul when a kid gets a free education. I never have a problem with taking things with a grain of salt, but the level of brainwashing going on in GA regarding Saban and recruiting is outrageous. Every little possible slight of a recruit by Saban is poured over ad nauseam by fans and media alike. But not a peep out of the AJC on this story which has become a (albeit small) national story? I can see the sports staff huddled in the AJC situation room now, trying to decide if this story has grown sufficiently to require a response.

Y'know, that is some top notch ranting.

However:

A. I never cried foul. I think it was a brilliant move and would have been psyched if UGA had pulled it off.

B. I am very happy for any kid that gets a free education.

I mean, sorry you got so rustled over this, but Saban only did it because it helps Alabama with no down side.

Again, I understand you Bama homers getting all rustled if I'm not towing the line on your firm belief that Saban is a Saint of God, if not God himself. So you're forgiven for that.

It just amused me about everyone else buying into it. Like I said, brilliant move on Saban's part. And, the thing is, you're only pissed because I'm right.

As to your feverish rant about the AJC, well ...
