Shorter version: Nick Saban doesn’t have time for that shit.
As far as Junior goes, he’s compiling one helluva resume.
I really hope to Gawd they cross paths on the recruiting trail. Soon.

Quote Of The Day
-
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

Huge distraction, but given how the O looked against UW, might as well.
I don’t like this matchup anyways, but what do I know?

Lack of production against Washington…..

Gotta be more than that. I’m guessing Freshwater was completely checked out.
Clemson is good enough that they’re going to have to run the ball from the jump. Saban needed someone that will do what he’s told for this game.

I don’t think so. I believe Lane was under prepared for Washington and Saban pulled him for someone that is focused on Bama.

This. Until proven otherwise.

I was at the game club level, and granted these are Bammers but they were predicting this after the game based on the poor performance from the offense.

And that is reason enough to get an extra week in. Good move Junior, talk publicly about not having any fun around Little Nicky, keep the score close on Saturday, then board a plane for paradise with pockets full of money. No pressure for him this week….and he can speak freely. Could be fun for us.

FAU probably won’t have a problem with that.

This is Saban being one step ahead of everybody again. With Kiffin gone Clemson has no way to prepare for Sarks play calling other than watching his time at US and UW.

I did think this move would complicate the job for Venables, no tendencies or situational info. Don’t think that was the reason, but it could help.

To be fair, Bama players have little time to prepare for Sarks play calling as well.

But he is going to tell them in the huddle. 🙂 Plus, Nick will have already ‘splained it to them all…and it will be simple. You can bet Sark is on a tight leash, no getting cute this week.

Lane Kiffin. World class narcissist. He thinks he answers to no one but his own inflated ego. Oops. I’m sorry – Saban put up with him until he got so cool he missed the bus – twice. Nick don’t play. There is only room for one ego at Bama. And its initials are NS. Did you notice the guy carrying the Gatorade cup for Saban during the Washington game? That is the outer limits of ego, going where no man has gone before.
