Booty was not very likeable, he was a prick and not a team player. However, there was entirely too much pressure put on him the minute he stepped on campus. Davey was much more likeable. Don't think it had anything to do with race, Booty was just a prick who didn't play well until he realized his starting job was in jeopardy.

Saban was quoted in 2000 as saying Booty practiced so much better than Davey and that's why he got the starts.

But Ro always played better in the games. Guess he had an extra gear with adrenaline.

I'll never forget the 2000 Peach Bowl when we were dead to rights against Ga Tech. Down 14-3 at half IIRC and came back to win 28-14. Ro came in at half and played lights out, Josh Reed stepped up, defense was great, and Winey took the cast off his broken hand and was vital. Of course I drink too much and maybe some of that info is a little hazy. :)
