I joked about Tim James the other day and suggested a tongue-in-cheek strategy to extricate his foot from his mouth.
Reality isn’t that far removed.
… James was asked about the Tide tempest during a news conference in Mobile.
“I have one thing to say about that,” James said in response to my question. He reached beneath the podium and pulled out a red-and-white “Saban Rules” cap, donning it with a flourish.
“Let the record show that I believe Nick Saban is one of the greatest — if not the greatest — coaches in America,” James said. “I support him 100 percent.”
I wasn’t kidding when I posted this header.
Too late. The damage has been done.
I heard that Nick Saban just offered a scholly to Jalen Fields.
It’s Alabama. Who gives a rat’s ass?
Officials at Auburn hard at work determining whether Tim has an Auburn diploma and, if so, what they need to do to revoke it for using a hat while trying to elevate the enemy, Nick, to Alabama’s fourth icon…
After the announcement, James was taught the official handshake of the Man-crush Fans of Nick Saban Club President, Paul Finebaum. Followed by an extended moment of sweet embrace.
Is this guy related to the former Governor Fob James? I vaguely recall Fob James is an Auburn man.
His son.
Tim James is an Auburn man in his own right. He played RB for the Tigers at the same time as Bo Jackson.
