It's sorta all of that. I throw out a few -

The media is still pizzed that they missed out on the whole Saban to Bama dealio.

The media is embarrassed that their characterization of Saban's salary as obscene 22 months ago now looks like a bargain.

Saban is not media-friendly.

We were supposed to be irrelevant for a generation, complements of the NCAA, and we're not.

We're not sexy, like a Florida or a USC.

We're not a northern school.

We're not a big-market school.

There's plenty more, I'm sure. Oh well, they'll get used to it.

[QUOTE="bamascott2, post: 463686, member: 11531"] It's sorta all of that. I throw out a few - The media is still pizzed that they missed out on the whole Saban to Bama dealio. The media is embarrassed that their characterization of Saban's salary as obscene 22 months ago now looks like a bargain. Saban is not media-friendly. We were supposed to be irrelevant for a generation, complements of the NCAA, and we're not. We're not sexy, like a Florida or a USC. We're not a northern school. We're not a big-market school. There's plenty more, I'm sure. Oh well, they'll get used to it. :D [/QUOTE]
