You didn't see the montage of "O" speak on ESPN last night?!

It is an old publicity truism that it doesn't matter what the media says about you as long as they spell your name right. It's kind of like young kids dying blue, green, or red highlights in their hair. You may find this interesting or stupid, but they got your attention and that is step one.

Think about the ceaseless Saban close ups. Even when chewing a player out, the notoriety helps him recruit. Miles eating grass and looking stupid in a hat became The Mad Hatter. This helps recruit.

So some kid in Florida becomes intrigued by a coach talking "Water Boy" talk. If he opens the door to hear O's pitch, we are ahead of 99% of the rest of the programs with that prospect!

This is a good thing!
