A-Day game Today, 2 p.m. coverage via ESPN2

[2Stater]

I was there for A-Day. All of this football talk is fun and all, but nothing that happened has much to do with what will happen in September. It does, however, have everything to do with what happens in February. There were recruits lining the sidelines. They got to watch all the inspiring videos, hear Bear Bryant mumbling something unintelligible, and to see Julio, and Mark, and D.J etc. Then they got to see true freshman who enrolled in December actually get their shot. And they got to see all this unfold while surrounded by nearly 80k fans. This is a major recruiting event, and I've got to think it's pretty darned effective.

You are correct. It's a terrific event for the recruits. And I know, as well as everyone else, that this team will not resemble the finished product in September, but still is the only thing we can look at to make observations, at this point. I don't think anyone here is reading too much into it. Everyone is just simply posting what they observed.

Whenever I hear of Coach Bryant saying something unintelligible, it reminds of the Sports Illustrated reporter in Tuscaloosa to do a write up on him.  The SI reporter said much of what Coach Bryant said he couldn't understand, so he played his recorder to a Bryant assisistant in the hallway. The assistant laughed real big and said, "I hadn't heard him tell that one." Then walked off. LOL

   I enjoyed that anecdote.  Have one of those e-creds thinga-ma-bobs.
