Nick Saban: 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and Auburn

Featured Replies

81, the word "Moron" is being used too much. I seen your posts in the past where you had to be careful in your comments and I also asked you to quit bashing Bama and even asked you who you pull for, but I don't go that route.

 

I don't even wan to to go to the Miami thing with you because you wouldn't get it. But I'll ask you "have you ever made a change in your life where it made your wife and yourself happy? He was under contract with Miami and couldn't say anything about Bama until the season was over. Old News.

 

You are casting some stones here and I told you I'll defend my coach as you would. Did you answer my questions about dealing with "an Unfair media?"

Bug, the man didn't haven't a prepared speech. Some of the questions from the Saban haters are asked just for one thing. I've spoke in front of people before and I've said things that didn't make sense or I wish I could take back. We all have seen Coaches lose it before...remember the Cowboy coach who got on the female reporter a few weks ago.

 

Like I said before these people don't care for Nick and its a daily thing he goes through. In Bama we all know his pressers are gonna go different ways, but the name calling on here isn't fun to see. When I watched the presser on Monday I was yelling at the reporter.

Again, I believe everyone understands what he was saying. Just not a smart way to put it.

 

No, apparently they don't understand it, or they wouldn't be acting like they're outraged. It's stupid. A non-issue, IMO, until some idiot sportswriter decided he wanted to stir the pot and create a little uproar. This kind of stuff happens over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...it's not getting old. It's been old for a while.

Really? Thru the TV? Did the reporter hear you?

No matter what the question was or who posed the question, it was moronic to make the comparisons he made. The real catastrophies of 9/11 and Pearl Harbor have NO comparison to sports in any way and trying to make that connection is insensitive and just plain stupid.

 

And I'm not outraged or insensed about it. It isn't a big issue to me. Just a stupid comment made by a coach in front of the cameras.

I disagree. What's stupid is comparing a game to events that were horrendous and caused the death of thousands of lives. It's a freaking football game for goodness sakes.

We know what he meant. There is a reason he doesn't like to talk to the media! I'm not offended so it isn't an issue to me.

Just a very, very poor choice of words. He really has no good excuse and no one should be making excuses for him. This was not said in the heat of the moment after the loss. He had 2 days to prepare for this conference and this isn't his first rodeo so he can't use inexperience as an excuse. He had to know the type of questions that he would be facing. Just a very poor performance from Saban.

If you don't like Bama or their Coach his comments will make you want to name call him like a 5th grader. "Moron and Stupid". If you understand what his analogy was you would see how people pull for each other and come together when your world is crashing. To these kids their world is crashing, he is not comparing a football loss to 9-11 or Pearle Harbor. I've seen the tape which lasted 45 minutes, and I'm a fair person and I thought what he said made sense.

 

Oh by the way, the Bamanation is emailing Kevin Scarbinski and trying to explain how Stupid he is and how he writes like a Moron. I don't use those terms because I have class, even when I don't agree with a coach.

 

Throughbred, Siran Stacy lost 4 children and his wife in a car accident last night and he is in bad shape. A man was going 80 on the wrong side of the road. I don't want to post this because I'm too sad and not feeling well and need to pray. DothanFirst.com 5Wide thanks to you.

I'm not going to call Saban a Moron, he just made a very poor choice of an analogy. Sorry to hear about Siran Stacy's family--he was a great player for the Tide.

the comparison is obviously that this is a catastrophic event for 'Bama, just like the other events were catastrophic for the United States....

 

No it wasn't. Losing a game or games in football is not catastrophic. there is nothing catastrophic about losing a football game ever unless someone is permently injured or worse during the game. I don't care one way or another about Alabma or Nick Saban, but it's complete nonsense for anyone to suggest that losing football games is "catastrophic."

I just read about this on KSR. Very sad and example of something truly catastrophic, much more so than a football game. Prayers go out to the Stacy family and to you Alabama Larry.

Joe, I can take bashing Bama, boy I've heard it over the years, its the name calling I don't want to see. I lose all kinds of respect of people when they have to explain their thoughts by stooping to that level. Bash Saban and I'll understand I've Bash him a few times lately myself. If someone doesn't care for him thats OK too.

 

RED, thanks for that. This is too unreal and the loss of Children this way....

This is the bigger issue!

I stand by what I said. It doesn't take a very intelligent person to know you don't compare a football game to tragic events like those of 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.

Just a thought...he really did know what he was talking about. Alabama fans take their football pretty serious.
