So we lost Robinson, Collins, Fluker, etc. to 'The Handlers', we've

gotten Russell, Williford, Alexander, Neighbors, etc. from them.
It must be pretty embarrassing to them that this is the first place they look for recruits. They have to come to Louisiana, the most talent-rich state per capita in America, to try to lie and cheat and steal and "handle" kids from here like the Mafia, because their own state is so shitty for everything, including high school blue-chippers.
They call Miles "lucky". But Saban had a giant rabbit's foot up his arse against us in '08 and '12. Miles could easily be 5-2 vs him.

I still to this day say we are equal or better than them. We are 2 missed FGs away from being in their position the last 2 years: OSU miss vs ISU in '11 and Alleman miss vs them in '12.

Plus Saban is only ONE game better than Miles the last 3 years.
Also, Bama under Saban always loses after a tough game.
