I saw this video at Assorted Babble of Susie and still can hardly believe it. My daughter is an Alabama alumni and so I have to have a certain amount of loyalty to the Crimson Tide - or pachyderms as my husband calls them.
But this is really over the top …..
Out of all the outrageous statements made by Nick Saban, now Alabama football coach, in the past, this latest tirade is definitely over the top and he should have been suspended on the spot. After a couple of days of planning a speech for a presser, it was not off the cuff or a slip of the tongue type of screw-up, he deliberating made the comparison of losing (a football game) with the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Pearl Harbor. Still no apology, only a statement sent out by a spokesman, Jeff Purinton trying to explain what was meant by it.
I am sure our veterans and soldiers would disagree with Saban’s analogies. Not only did he tick off Alabama fans, the players, but he managed to create a firestorm throughout the country angering everyone that heard it. The media went negative on him and rightfully so. This is not the first time either, that this self-absorbed, egotistical nut sounded off with something stupid.

Wasn’t that something? This guy is always angry and says outlandish things. ESPN really nailed him on this, then thereafter sports writers throughout the country let him have it. Under Google News…there were at least 55+ articles written. Saban should be ashame of himself.
Being from Alabama myself, my family said there…..that was all they were talking about prior to the game that is. Now us….. Auburn fans have bragging rights for another year.
Thanks for linking my post. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
