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

-- Defensive coordinator Vic Koenning raised some eyebrows when asked a general question about Alabama receiver Julio Jones. Koenning has a lot of ties in south Alabama, and that's where Jones is from.
Koenning's response:
"I actually ran into Julio in the spring recruiting. I said hello to him. I said, 'Well, I guess I'll be seeing you at the end of August.' And then he got out and got in his Escalade and drove off. That's serious. And then I went over and watched (Alabama freshman) Burton Scott at Vigor High School at the track over there, and Burton Scott was running around. He went and got in his Escalade out at track practice and drove off. So I'm familiar with those two guys."

I have not seen an on the record comment like this by a COACH in years.

It illustrates the attitude those in the coaching fraternity may have towards Bama.
It gives creedence to the comments in my original post that something ugly might be swirling around and The Screaming Liliputian might know there is something fishy in his program.

Who could blame him for having an exit stategy ?

The sad thing is it is unneccesary.
Coach Spud Saban is good enough to win the right way.
But all those Gumps with their glory days stories and their arms out telling you that in the 1970's their fish was "thiiiiisss biiiiig " and their fat checkbooks are sure to sabotage the process before the process ever begins.

The weather in Seattle is nice this time of year....

how cool is it going to be when Little Enos (I can play, too!) moves that far away and still has to open up against LSU next year?


for those of you lacking the 1970s white trash movie pedigree....
