You're right, there usually is some preference. Sometimes they still go other places, but its hard to be neutral in AL. The thing about alabama recruiting is that usually Auburn is not gonna steal a kid from Bama. If a kid really wants to go there, he'll go. I don't think Saban will be able to overcome LSU's pull on instate kids, although I'm sure it'll be better than what they've had lately. It'll be interesting to see if Saban is satisfied with just getting a lot of the in state talent, or if he'll get more into FL and GA recruiting like Tuberville has. I'm sure UA will improve over the next couple of years, but I think Bama is gonna pay for it on the back end. I don't see this as a move which brings Bama back to its stature of previous decades.

One of the play-by-play guys we use in our Mountain West Network is James Bates, who was a line backer on the last Florida team to win a national championship (I think he was one of the captains).

Great guy.

He was on top of the world today and happy to show all of us his championship ring.

Quoting myself instead of explaining again...

In another development, James' dad Jim was just named Defensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach of The Denver Broncos.

Guess football runs in the family.

I still hate Boise State...even more so because even north Idaho people are on the bandwagon, and that's sad.

They are put 40 million dollars into Bronco Stadium for skyboxes, ridiculous.

I agree. I'm afraid a lot of Bama fans are seeing Saban as a savior. They are paying their coaches so much $$$, I wonder if their players are having to take a pay cut.

I found the Ohio State team appeared kinda big and clumsy. Too corn-fed, perhaps.
