damn, i think this is a great idea, but I'm shocked the bible belt would let some people get away with it.
I liked Saban when he was here because our program needed his discipline and organizational skills. He led efforts to upgrade our facilities, which are paying dividends now. However, he's so much fun to "hate" (in a sports sense) because of his miserable personality. He reminds me a little of Tom Cruise. Both obviously have cases of little man syndrome. Both are about as successful as they can possibly be but have (apparent) emotional issues that prevent them from being happy or even normal human beings. Sometimes I wonder what caused them to be eternally unhappy? *I realize Tom Cruise appears to be happy at times but (IMO) that's part of his skill at being a great actor. There have been enough glimpses of his dark side that are more telling.
Plus you all kmow that we would be defending Lil Nickie to the hilt if he were still in BR... and winning. I agree with previous post that he is what we needed after Dinardo. He helped start the rebuilding process aand has established himself as a consistant winner. That would be enough for all Tiger fans to defend him.. even though he's an ass.
I liked the fact that we were winning, I always thought Saban was an asshole though. He makes it extremely hard to like him.
