I always love it when a legitimate question draws the ire of a coach. Sometimes reporters can ask stupid questions but in this case....it was actually a good question. 32>25.

What I don't understand is the part where he's like "fans don't care to know blah blah blah" personally if I am a CrimsonTide fan I am furious. If Tressel signed 32 committs you bet your ass i'd be interested to see which ones WOULDN'T be showing up come fall. Thats my team and I follow them everyday no matter the time of year. Hell right now I am so bored i'll read an entire column on someone adding 5lbs to their bench its getting so bad.

You guys are forgetting about SEC speed here. You see, SEC recruits are so fast that they actually experience relativistic time dilation just going about their everyday lives. His fastest signees won't even show up on campus until some time next year.
Problem solved, as always, with SEC speed.

Actually, he lined up the names and asked 50 random Alabama mall-goers if they total was greater than 25, during a mall-interecept study. The bottom line is that none of them could count that high and it looked like a cinch to hide it. Guess he didn't count on folks outside the county bein' able to cipher.
Heck, with all them newfangled mobile home garages goin' in...
...and Bo and Cooter tied up in Europe with their Hillbilly Babylon show...
...who'd a guessed Slick Nick was a gonna be caught out?
So, y'all come on down and enjoy us and let's watch the fun.
I hope everyone he is recruiting sees exactly what he does to get out of this mess and how many kids lives he hurts as a result.

Anyone else catch Tom Luginbill claiming that it's OK for Saban to oversign then cut guys because "everyone does it"? I'm no college football guru, but I can't recall someone intentionally promising more scholarships than they have and then just telling guys to transfer or be cut. I'm not sure it's illegal, but it's damn sure unethical.
If someone can think of another example of this, please post it here. I'll happily change my opinion of Saban's tactics.

Luginbill just left out "in the SEC" after "everyone". Once thats put in the sentence his point is valid.
Now as to the bigger question of why the SEC isn't taken to task by the national media for oversigning, off the field issues, NCAA violations or graduation rates is a topic that needs its own thread.
