Bama fans don't even go to Bama basketball games at home.I was just reading an article about Vonn Bell:
"I'm not really looking for any answers this weekend. I'm going to ask the players questions, how they treat the players. But, it's going to be a real good weekend to see how I feel," Bell said. "We're going to go to a basketball game and see how that goes. I'm going to be out with the players and I'll be with them most of the time so we'll see how the atmosphere is."
This basketball game vs Alabama, you know the other team Bell is looking at, needs to have HUGE support from our fans. We need to have a crazy atmosphere. Would be horrible if he got to our game and saw a bunch of bama fans in our stands. Let's show him what Vol Fan support is all about.
In short
Alabama seems to have made a pretty significant impression with Bell. Here's what Coach Mariakis had to report about the safety's recent official visit to Alabama, per Ostendorf:
"He said it went wonderful, Mariakis said. They rolled the red carpet out like they do for all those kids. They had a great time doing things on campus and also at Coach Sabans house. I think he said they went to Coach Sabans house twice -- one evening for dinner and then the next morning for breakfast -- and just had a great time.
They kind of saw Coach Saban in a different light, off campus, and just had a good talk. They had all the questions answered that they had. His quote was, It was just Alabama. It was good. No wonder they win national championships every year because everything is laid out and they have a plan for everything.'"
