Jet-Gate Two: Bama on the Rise, Auburn Refueling the Jet

My, my, my...Wow, how the tables have turned.

For six years, the 'Bama Nation has had to listen to Aubie after Aubie preach to them about how their Cow College has taught them to count to six. That is wonderful; I hope that they have enjoyed their reign, beating a subpar, probation-laden Alabama team.

It is evident that those days are coming to a close at an extremely rapid rate. Whether or not the experts predicted this is irrelevant; it is obvious that Nick Saban has the 'Bama program ahead of schedule.

It is also obvious that this is the direct cause of Auburn's woes.

Tommy Tuberville saw this coming early in Saban's tenure at 'Bama. Saban is a tenacious coach and a relentless recruiter. While Tuberville was off in Arkansas duck hunting and trying to get himself a raise by flirting with the Razorbacks, Saban was heating up the roads on the recruiting trail. 

It is no secret Auburn has owned 'Bama in recent years, plucking players left and right from the state. But now Auburn has retaken its rightful seat: second fiddle behind its big brother from Tuscaloosa.
