You rightly point out that he’s not the only bad-guy coach.

Its baseball season so I won’t address UA football beyond this comment, however….

I wasn’t referring to the cocaine dealing, as being blown out of proportion, I meant that the media will use it as an avenue to make Coach Saban look bad, despite this stuff happens in almost all programs around the country, not that I’m condoning it.

I agree that Francoeur probably will get better and break out of this.

However, everytime he comes to bat he practically gets a standing ovation. I have heard very little booing of him durring the game.

True, some people on this board get carried away, but I am sure Jeffy Boy doesn’t read this and it has nothing to do with his performance

The media won’t have to try very hard.

I heard from a friends dad in B’ham (that knows stuff) they even “advised” Saban this past fall, without any details, that it would be in the best interest of program if he didn’t play much this past season (not that he would have anyway, because he’s merely an internet legend).

This doesn’t come as a shock to me at least, and I would never post this on Tider Insider. haha

I think a small contingent of the students knew about Johns, but yes, the media will blow it out of proportion to try to make Coach Saban look bad.

Anyway, Corky Miller sucks. Also, Braves and Alabama Baseball related—-have the Braves signed 3rd Round Pick Craig Kimbrel yet?

There are still significant differences in what corner outfielders hit and what center fielders and middle infielders hit. Not to mention pitchers, who make up about five percent of plate appearances in the NL and drag down the average. “Average” hitting is significantly below average for a corner outfielder, and Francoeur was not a strength of the team last year.
