re: My sources in Seattle are hearing a LOT of Saban buzz...

Tubberville and Dinky have the same agent. Tubby is really just making a dig to get under the skin of Bama folk. That being said, shorty's comments about "retiring" are interesting. He could pull a Brett Favre and "retire" but then be talked into coming back. That would restore some of his credibility and allow him to leave that hell hole gracefully. Washington would be a MUCH better fit for him than Bama. For that matter, so would Penn State.
