the brilliance of Saban's intent, when he said that he wanted the Iron Bowl to become a national game again? I work w/ a few northern folks that have paid attention to sports their whole lives. One guy is my boss, and he tells me quite frequently that ALA vs. AUB means nothing nationally. He says OSU vs. UM appeals to a much larger audience. Unfortunately, he is correct. No one outside the state gives 2 Shi+s about our beloved game. Enter coach Saban. You have to hand it to the man for recognizing the importance of making the Iron Bowl relevant to build steam for the Bama program. I have come to understand his genius. Get the nation to notice the program again by hilighting the biggest game of the season. As the GUINESS guys would say, BRILLIANT!!!
