    Look, the bottom line, as LSUMyrtleBeach mentioned, is that the coaches know they are going to be interviewed. It's just a part of the game. Two things that can be gleaned from these interviews is character and common courtesy. Bob Stoops showed neither with his classless kindergarden fit during the interview. Just answer the question and go into the locker room. No reason to be a total jackhole.

    Lloyd Carr = Jackhole (see his comment from previous interview above)

    Thank God we have a coach that exemplifies character and class. It spills over into the lives of the players he coaches, and I think everyone would agree that the outcome is pretty SWEET!

    "Ok....perhaps I was wrong....They DO have the best defense in the nation..."

    I'm guessing that's what he was saying/thinking this morning. :D

    I was screaming at him through my television: "What a jerk! You big, whining a-hole!" What he said/did was totally classless. I thought he showed he was totally full of himself, and I lost a LOT of respect for him right there. I so admire the respect, class, and character that Nick Saban shows at ALL times, and I agree that it rubs off on his players. The LSU Tigers are champions and winners on and off the field.

    I agree with LSUMyrtleBeach. I thought Stoops came off damn arrogant with his half time remark about LSU not having the #1 rushing defense. Of course he was having it handed to his team by the Tigers and that probably had something to do with his comments. Still uncalled for however. He also complained about the penalties like he thought they were only being called against OU and not LSU.

    It's great to have a class act like Saban for a coach. It's apparent that his attitude is reflected in his team and how they act both on and off the field.

    And what about Brent Musburger (sp). What a jackass. All he wanted to talk about was how great OU was and it was obvious he wanted them to win. He just couldn't stand the fact that the Tigers defense was stopping everything Stoops and OU was attempting to do. I also got really tired of the Sooner fight song.
