It's almost like college kids would rather go to a party than stay to watch a game that has been decided in the 1st quarter. Weird.

Saban is a prat. Play relevant games / worthy adversaries and people MAY stay. Rivalries are fun, nail bitters are fun, blowouts and random opponents are not (sorry Arkies, maybe next year).
'Please come support us'...'stay to the end'...'this pesky NC game stifles my recruiting' - I am sick of Saban.

Not so fast. Apparently A$M students haven't picked up 3,000 tickets for the Vandy game.

He also sold his Georgia lake house....although it was an investment property that was on the market for a year.

Saban is using Texas to get a fat raise from Alabama. Anyone who thinks anything differently is delusional

Well, Alabama throws the hammer down on the absentee students, and it's against arch rival Tennessee to boot. Ouch!
