It stinks that other teams have the availability to go see players while our coaches still have a bowl game to coach. I wonder if the NCAA will extend the dead period til after the NCG so everyone has equal footing. Back when this timing was originally installed, the season was usually over by Jan. 3rd or 4th. Now the NCG is extended a week after New Years.

Not to mention that getting in that game is why we recruit in the first place.

"A long way," he said after being asked how far the Crimson Tide had come since Coach Nick Saban arrived three years ago. "I guess you could say it's the distance from Shreveport to Pasadena."
