During signing day ESPN interviewed Coach Saban, to which he responded that "we also tell them (regarding recruits)that when you do commit, that we expect this to be your decision". Perhaps Coach needs to practice what he preaches.
If you watched ESPN’s coverage of National Signing Day on Wednesday, it was hard to miss Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
Saban’s Crimson Tide, after all, racked up what many consider the nation’s number one recruiting class. Featuring the head coach of the reigning national champion and the clubhouse leader for the top-ranked signing class made perfect sense for the World Wide Leader in Sports (nevermind that the network has a lucrative deal in place with the SEC).

Auburn is looking to improve its Defense for 2012, the new DC Van Gorder should help with that.
It begins with defense 2010 was an anomaly. But not in the way Bama fans want you think. There are those who claim Auburn was a one-year wonder, but if that’s the case there are a lot of those over the past 20 years. Perennial “powerhouses” Ohio State, Michigan, Texas and Oklahoma have exactly the same number of national titles as the Tigers in the past two decades. Where Auburn’s 2010 title differed was in defense. The Tigers are the only team in the past 20 years to win a title while surrendering an average of more than 20 points per game. Auburn allowed an average of 24 in 2010. Fourteen of the last twenty title holders allowed double digits, but only LSU’s 2007 squad (19.9 per game) came close to bumping 20.

Lee Corso cursing on live TV somehow exemplify's Auburn's Season this year.
Lee Corso set the tone.
Auburn…
- Auburn hasn’t played this season. I didn’t go to any games, so I can’t be sure that what I’ve seen on TV wasn’t some fancy PIXAR presentation.
- I saw Auburn play four games last year. I know Cam Newton exists. Whether or not he’s a cyborg is a different topic.
- Because Auburn isn’t playing this season, the Iron Bowl must not be happening next week.
College Football…
- Robert Griffin III is the best player in college football. Baylor? BAYLOR? I mean, come on. We talkin’ bout Baylor. Baylor.
- Trent Richardson is going to win the Heisman.
- Alabama is going to have the easiest path to the BCSCG.
- LSU may or may not beat Arkansas and Georgia.
