Of all the top schools out there, why would any top LA state recruit would want to sign with Bama? Seems like if you're from LA, you should be born with hatred against Bama, but maybe I'm just in the minority here

Alabama is my second favorite SEC school, and I'm an LSU fan for life. Auburn, on the other hand, I wish would burn to the ground.

Apparently you're having a hard time not starting threads about it too.

I agree. It blows me away that they all have Bama as an interest. Makes for good TV.

We have to come to grips with the fact that Saban is a good, maybe great, coach.
If a kid thinks he's going to get playing time early, that's a big factor in many situations.

Hardly any LSU fans had "hatred" for 'Bama until Saban came here. If it weren't for that, the only reason there'd be for hatred is if we beat you every year, which hasn't happened in a long time.

I just don't like em at all no matter who the coach is. They are just one of those schools you just don't like. I'm sure all of you have at least one school you feel like that about.

No, you are correct. You should hate ALL schools from states other than where your from.

Auburn has always lacked a certain amount of class IMHO.

Particularly when Tubbs was around. Looks like Tennessee may be taking over that mantle now though.

BAMA is OK if you can get through all the delusion theri fans spew aboout their football birthright.

My sister, pushing 50 now is an Alabama fan - well was, until Saban. The south has many cross-state fans imo.
