Alabama coach Saban fired a pre-emptive strike Wednesday at Alabama fans who booed San Jose State players when they came onto the Bryant-Denny Stadium last week, encouraging them not to boo Penn State or any opposing teams. "Our football program and our stadium is probably the largest window that anyone looks at in the state of Alabama and maybe the University of Alabama," he said. "And I just don't think there's any place for booing anywhere in college football, and that includes booing the other team. ..." Penn State "is a class program with class people that have been there for 45 years and done wonderful things for college football, the game of football, and a lot of people over a 45-year period," Saban continued. "And I think it would be a (bleep) crying-(bleep) shame if we booed 'em when they come into the stadium like we did last week's team. I just don't understand that."
