I think the one thing Bama fans have learned to not freak out about is recruiting.

That's the thing about programs like Bama and LSU. They recruit so well that the smarter fans -- which, granted, isn't all of them, by any means -- tend to view these things with relative equanimity. The exceptions are: LSU losing a high-ranked in-state kid to Bama, and Bama losing one to Auburn (and vice-versa in the latter case.) Then they freak the frick out, not so much because they lost a talented recruit (see above, re recruiting well) but because they just hate the idea of losing that kid to that specific program.
