do people really care who manages the yankees any more?

As a Yankee hater and somebody who lives in NY (not the city but still NY)....yes they do! Baseball rules in this state. Its all about the Yankee - Red Sox here. I love the rivalry but I follow just about every team very closely and watch about 7-10 games per week.

fair enough. People here (in general, but not me) could care less about baseball. Marlins win 2 WS in 10 years and they get 2,000 people some nights. No wonder they can't get a stadium built.

It'll take a couple of seasons, IMO...

Saban's record at LSU:

2000: 8-4
2001: 10-3
2002: 8-5
2003: 13-1 (National Champs)
2004: 9-3

thats lsu.
saban should have NO problems getting whatever player he wants. there are still plenty of guys that want the Honor of pulling on that Crimson jersey and running on the field in front of 90,000 people.

Are you serious? LOL!!! There is more talent in the state of Louisiana than Alabama any day of the week.

He's not going to have an easy time of recruiting either... good old Tubby will keep him busy. Saban will be cherry picking Mississippi and most likely will attempt at stealing a few Louisiana recruits.

i'm very serious. Alabama is still one of the few places that you can win national titles with a big MAJORITY of players being from inside that state. Bama has to get back the guys from Mobile that are goin to lsu. Bama is already getting the best players out of mississippi.

tubby is not winning the recruiting in the state now. he is getting some better players from outside the state.

Well let me give a big congrats to the Bama faithful. They got a good coach. I haven't had a chance to read about it or watch the press conference. I did hear Haizenga say briefly about the very difficult situation the Saban's were in as a family and the Bama job would suit that situation best. What exactly is the situation?

Hey Bellamy....I know we went round and round on this thread, even cost you 48 hours in the penalty box but no harm no foul...it's all in jest and there is nothing wrong with a spirited debate.

Do you want to teach me how to knit? I couldn't sew a button back on my jeans if I tried! LMAO

Have you been to Louisiana, Coach? They breathe football there... I'm even willing to say that LA has more talent than Florida in regards to football. Wouldn't you agree that Auburn gets more of the good Alabama recruits, anyway? I can't stand Auburn, but it can't be easy as a Tide fan to have Auburn in the same state.
no, I wouldn't say that, even when they've been beating us it's been 50/50 in state, problem is TT has taken advatage of his proximity to GA, and we haven't really gone into GA and we need to, as for LA, I don't know, I'd say FL has much more talent, I'm not even sure who has come out of there besides Terry Bradshaw, but don't be scared, the SEC is ultra-competitive, and probably always will be~but I'm curious if he can take away Bo and Jimbo, hehe
