An overflow crowd of 92,138-plus fans attended the Crimson Tide's spring game Saturday, nearly doubling the school's A-Day attendance record and forcing university officials to start turning people away in the first half. That kind of turnout for essentially a scrimmage was yet another indication of how much Saban's hiring in January has stirred up a rabid fan base hungry for a championship. "It shows the passion that people have for the University of Alabama, and it certainly makes me feel great about being here as head coach," Saban said. The previous high attendance for an Alabama A-Day game was 51,117 at Birmingham's Legion Field in 1988.
