re: Remember the days of the huge recruiting bashes?

Fun story since I helped plan most of them. I had met with Saban and convinced him to come. As I was leading him in to the Bash he asked how many people are here and how long do you want me to talk. I told him there are about 3,000 people here and you talk as long as you want. He stopped and looked at me in amazement. 3000 people he said? I said yep. He said well let’s give them their money’s worth. And he always did. So did Les. With his bleep Alabama and no chest speeches. The Bash was a great event. Alas, it is gone forever.
