Congratulations. My wife is an Alabama alum. I was told I was an Alabama fan when I got married, part of the contract. That said I’m thankfully not forced to wear Alabama atire. I can honestly say that after Alabama lost the sun didn’t come out for 3 days. It rained, too, a sad drizzle of empty tears. It was eerily quite save for the quiet sobbing of grown men in trailer parks across the state.
I was glad to see Ohio State knock off Oregon. Urban Meyer is one of the best college football coaches ever.
Man, I just shot coffee out my nose ! Funny stuff. Yeah, I’m a Bama hater, too. Saban seems like the biggest horse’s a$$ on the planet. The NFL players definitely didn’t care for him much before he quit on the Dolphins midseason. I think Michigan/Ohio State will be a killer rivalry again with Harbaugh coaching Michigan.
Clarification. I am NOT a BAMA hater. Just a reluctant fan. I don’t watch every game but I catch them when I can. That said, Alabama fans can be really, really annoying.
I think Nick Saban is a great coach, certainly the best recruiter in college football. He says all the right things and leads by almost a perfect example. I agree the Dolphins flop is a tarnish, but other than that I’m not sure why to hate the man except for the fact that he is great. And haters gonna hate.
Coaches like Saban and Harbaugh and Meyer are what make college football so fascinating to watch.
Yeah, he’s definitely a great recruiter and coach. No arguments. Maybe I see the wrong press conferences - he seems pretty dickish in the ones I’ve seen lately. He wouldn’t be the only coach in that regard. I guess when my alma mater ( IU ) doesn’t play anything resembling what we think of as football, it gives me time to nitpick. With the yearly drought in bowl games and all.
All things considered, I wouldn’t want him to be my dad. Wouldn’t expect him to be a great guy to grab a beer with. But I would want him as my football coach!
I live in Gainesville Florida and work at the university. Talk about people hating Meyers.
I think that this year in particular shows how great of a coach he is. He used a third string quarterback and beat Wisconsin, Alabama, and Oregon. Even here at Florida, he took teams and beat better teams.
