Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2180445, member: 1772"] Well, Bags, like huskeynut I am a big fan of your posts, but on this issue, much as I am also an appreciative fan of Geno's genius, all we can say is that it's a great testament to his stunning record that, income-wise, he's even within remote hailing distance of Saban. Yes, the revenue disparities involved are so gargantuan as to render any comparison laughable, but even your argument that WCBB is in the "public eye" for a longer period of each year doesn't really hold water. I grew up in SEC territory. Although not limited to that part of the country, college football down there is not a sport...it's a religion. For 365 days per year, the sports section of every single daily periodical down there contains at least one article that pertains to the local religion...in season or out. With good reason, you and I love WCBB, and UConn WCBB in particular. But our out-sized passion for that game is, as you know, quite literally dwarfed by the broad-based missionary zeal that exists for football. So, as you've undoubtedly had to explain to your children from time to time, "Get used to it...life ain't always fair!" Good for Geno that he does as well as he does on the income comparison level!
