Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

He’s just aping Cowherd. Apparently the new party line at the WWL is that Malzahn/AU have passed Saban/Bama, and next year “AU WILL be better than Alabama.” That ought to keep the pot stirred all through the winter and summer months. Cowherd was fellating Bob Stoops on the radio this am, congratulating him for “giving the SEC a comeuppance by dominating a team that has dominated the SEC.” Sheesh.

If Bama fans were UGA fans, they’d be demanding Saban be fired now, because the game has passed him by, the Bama offensive game plan was too conservative, the Bama defense was helpless, blah blah blah blah blah. At the very minimum, Nick would be “on the hot seat.” It’s enough to make a guy take uptai chi.

So Finebaum is admitting he’s not only a poor evaluator of coaches, but an astonishingly poor evaluator of coaches.
Unless Malzahn and Saban are #1 and #2 best cfb coach in history…then it aaaaallllllll hangs together.

I just don’t get why people gravitate to him. He is neither a very good interviewer nor a polarizing personality (although he certainly tries).
Every time I have to drive through Alabama and catch 2-3 minutes of his “show”, I feel stupider for the experience.
LikeLike
I’ve actually found that he’s a pretty good interviewer when the person he’s interviewing has nothing to do with college football, or it’s Bart Starr, whose awesomeness overcomes the general awfulness of Finebaum. Essentially, about four interviews per year. Otherwise, his show is just performance art for rednecks with phones.

He’s not entirely off; Saban had a VERY easy SEC slate, nothing but tuneups and garbage for OOC, and couldn’t seal the deal. Of the four entire teams worth anything on Bama’s schedule, he had a solid victory over LSU, a shootout win over Aggy (so they’re a little better than Duke, I guess), the choke against Auburn and a butt-whooping by Bob Stoops of all people.
For comparison’s sake, take our four toughest games. A win over LSU, like Bama, a win over South Carolina- better than any other Bama win- a hail mary loss to Auburn, and the loss to Mizzou when we were operating with a skeleton crew.
Alabama had TEH BEST QUARTERBACK EVAH, TEH BEST COACH EVAH, a joke schedule, the SEC front office and the refs in their back pocket, and ended up with diddily poo to show for it. They looked like freaking us out there last night. Where’s the master motivator who does not tolerate less than 100%? Where was The Process(TM)?

Finebaum is Performance Dadist-Trolling Theater. Once you put in that context, it all makes sense.
Before he became a “national sensation,” I recall listening in the early 2000’s. He would troll Bama hard. Making fun of Price, Franchonie, Shula. Shula provided a non-stop source of material. And when Tubberville was at his apex, Finebaum gave him the same wet kisses reserved only (temporarily) now for Saban.
The sickness is not Finebaum, one could argue. Like a Hegelian force of History, he is merely a reflection of his audience. An audience he knows how to play. And play. And play. And play.
