The Saban Rule [Anniston Star]- “The idea is to prevent “bump-ins” between coaches and recruits when the coaches are out talking to the high school coaches.” It’s sort of a reverse work ethic, where it rewards laziness as opposed to determination. Basically, the NCAA instituted it to cut down the effect that coaches like Saban and Herban would have in other coaches’ backyards. I got the following example off of an email. I don’t know if it is true, but it is Bama and Saban, gimme a

How many chance meetings with players do you think Saban had the last two years?
My favorite up till now is when Saban arrived in an RV flying an Alabama flag showed up for the Foley spring practice. He then walked across the field with an entourage that included former Alabama stars Lee Roy Jordan and Kenny Stabler walking with him as he “indirectly had contact” with Julio Jones.

This leads into the SEC’s top seven infractions [Al.com]. One guess of which school is #1. [HT YMSWWC]. No one will replace Saban in a couple of years when he leaves because that “barrel of a gun” the NCAA warned them about will shut them down for a few years.

The Red Elephant Club is brazenly passing around pre-paid credit cards to high school kids in Alabama, it is said. Win at all costs is the biggest part of “The Process”. It’s going to bite them in the ass, and the whole country is going to laugh even harder at these rednecks.

It’s just a matter of time.
