TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - Nick Saban's weekly radio show had a big-game feel this week with people in line since Wednesday morning to watch Alabama's head coach speak in person.

Fans often wait in line before dawn, but a day early is unique.

Well, a little game between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

* Saban said coaching at Alabama is a great place to coach because of tradition, and support.

* Saban repeated a caller's point to have the fans in Bryant-Denny Stadium loud enough to keep LSU's fans in the stands from hearing one another speak.

* On how a game such as LSU-Alabama helps recruiting: Several guys are making official visits, and a "slew of guys" making unofficial visits. It's an opportunity for Alabama to showcase it's entire program.

* On LSU quarterbacks: Jarrett Lee is a good, accurate passers. He has a ton of experience. He knows the offense well, and they have good skill players. When Jordan Jefferson's in there he's a capable passer, and he's accurate, but they become "a little more Cam Newton like."

* On breaking the huddle before returning from a commercial: Saban said the "red-hat guy" pats his arms with 30 seconds to go, and wants the players to be on the field when TV returns from a break.

In pro stadiums or pro broadcasts they had a red glove guy on the sideline that signaled TV timeouts. Is this some version of that?

  I wear a red hat with an "A" on it. Does that count?

Yeah...a guy in all white with a red hat (possibly wearing a CBS vest for this one) comes about 10 yards out onto the field around the 25 yard line during TV timeouts.  I've never noticed the patting of the arms for a 30 second warning, but I believe he normally puts 5 fingers in the air and begins walking off the field when the TV will resume airing (in 5 seconds).
