Not as much conversation but my wife and I were in Boquete, Panama last week on vacation.  We were walking down a side street, I had my Alabama football t-shirt on and, from inside a tour guide office we hear ROLL TIDE.  Guy was a gringo from VA but had watched the NCG and wanted to talk American football with some BAMA fans.  My wife told him about a couple of her encounters with the Bear and he talked about what an idiot Les Miles is.  We were a long way from home but it is a small world!

I'm not quite sure who first characterized this as a "scandal" but it strikes me that they were looking for a perjorative term (they found one) to describe a legal practice that they don't like.  Watergate was a scandal.  Offering someone a free college education is not!

They are ALL special!

aight!!!!

So does a 4 year scholarship mean none of these players will redshirt?

My 2 cents, FWIW.  We won't know until Coach Saban's career is over and even then there will be room for debate.  Bryant had more players, true.  But Saban has to recruit better players than the rest of Div. 1 to compete for National Championships.  Plus, it is what you do with them that really matters.  Both are/were master motivators, strategists and tacticians.

Just really, really glad to have been around for both!

HSCOACH- Good question.  Helps pass the time til National Signing day.  Be working on another one for the time between NSD and Spring Practice!

ROLL TIDE!!!

ROLL TIDE!   

Thanks coach.  I'm optimistic, too.  Hope we are right! 

Thanks for the info.  Lokk forward to the rest of your analysis!
