How Nick Saban Turned the Tide

With all due respect to the 123 other schools that play major-college football, the sport's foreseeable future boils down to one question: Can anyone stop Alabama?
The Alabama Crimson Tide, college football's defending national champion, has become the game's "it" team, an all-powerful and impervious Death Star of a program. Alabama has won two of the last three national titles. Its coach, Nick Saban, won another one while he was at Louisiana State—meaning he has won the title in three of the past seven college seasons he has coached.
The Tide is a 14-point favorite Saturday over No. 8 Michigan—repeat: a two-touchdown favorite against a top-10 team—in its season opener. The last time Alabama was an underdog was 28 games ago, against Tim Tebow and Florida in the 2009 Southeastern Conference championship game. Result: Bama 32, Florida 13.

amazing what you can do when your school admission standards are so low, PE or basket weave for credits, and you can pay your players/families.
 
Ignore list. Post this irrelevant white trash spank material on Ramnation to boost their confidence.

PS - Careful of your use of analogies... Death Stars always blow up. When probabtion hits, Saban will be long gone, but you will be there holding the bag.

I have no problem with BC, but really, and this is meant in the nicest way possible, nobody likes a braggart.....
 
I realize that the football forum is for all college football, but should these obvious self aggrandizing threads be put in the pub or on the island?
 
I never cared one way or another about Alabama but I hate Saban.

A chronology of comments about Nick Saban taking the head coaching job at Alabama:

Nov. 27:
Saban: "When I was in college it was always about coming to the pros. This is the challenge I wanted. I had a good college job. Why would I have left that if I was going to be interested in other college jobs?

"I took this as a challenge. We certainly haven't seen this through and gotten where we want to go and finished the job here, so why would I be interested in something else?"

Dec. 5:
Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga (after giving Saban a vote of confidence): "I am completely sold on Nick Saban. I would admit we made a mistake if we did make a mistake, but I firmly believe in Nick Saban."

Dec. 7:
Saban: "I'm flattered that they may have been interested in me, but it never really progressed, because we just never let it progress."

Dec. 21:
Saban: "I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach. ... I don't control what people say. I don't control what people put on dot-com or anything else. So I'm just telling you there's no significance, in my opinion, about this, about me, about any interest that I have in anything other than being the coach here."

Dec. 27:
Saban: "I'm just making a rule to never comment on something like that again because every time you comment on it, it just makes for another story. So I'm not going to comment on it five years from now, and I'm not going to comment on it next week."

Jan. 4:
Saban: "What I realized in the last two years is that we love college coaching because of the ability that it gives you to affect people, young people. ... If I knew that my heart was someplace else in what I wanted to do, I don't think it would be fair to the [Dolphins] organization if I stayed."
 
Now that Jimmy boy is at CSU, Bama will be lucky to get 3 wins.

Not this year. EVAR. It's going to take at least 10 years before they win another game, unless they kidnap McElwhine and force him to move back to Bammer. Which will never happen because he would rather die than leave the dynasty he's building in Fort Fun.

In all seriousness though, I'm gonna laugh my ass off when CSU can't score twice against us while Bama puts 30+ on Michigan
