Can you believe Nick Saban said this???

August of 2007…I’m living in the midst of the Alabama football culture, you’d think Nick Saban was a king. In place of the black square “W” that graced cars, they are now replaced with crimson squares with an “S”. In Church children are drawing Noah’s ark with an Alabama flag flying from it’s mast. The hype that has been around this man has been unbelievable. When Alabama won their first game this season, you might believe that Saban was god. The worship of this man is idolatry in its truest form. What would one expect from a god/king? Wisdom? Intelligence?

I am always amazed at what comes out of the mouth of coaches…I know that I shouldn’t expect much from Saban, but he has been so built up. Well, he’s opened his mouth and my, oh my…

"Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event," Saban said during the opening remarks of his weekly news conference. "It may be 9-11, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, or whatever, and that was a catastrophic event."

Now a lot of people are misconstruing his words to say he is comparing losing this football game to the losses on 9/11; I do not have issue with that, because that is not what he is saying. What I do have a problem with is his amazing intelligent statement, “sort of changed…kind of got us ready…or whatever…”

What an idiot! I really expect too much from football coaches. I guess that’s why when I hear one that is intelligent, I like them. Football coaches should be categorized with dumb blonds…many fit the stereo-type, but not all fit the mold.

Here is a sign that best illustrates the follies of Alabama.
