How Good do you Want to Be?
I just ran across this gem from the guys at TheAuburner.com . Hella good site BTW, and it gave me this inspiration
REAL excerpt from Lord Nick Saban’s How Good Do You Want to Be? :
No one else on the team knows that he [star player] skipped practice to go to the mall, and only you and your wife know the truth. What do you do?
At first, it seems clear that the right thing to do is to bench the player for the game, at least. No-brainer right? But then you think about how important he is to the team. How the other players count on him for so much, as do you. You picture the lopsided loss next week against the hated rivals. No one would know, you tell yourself.
Maybe this would be more appropriate if written this way.
No one outside the team knows that DJ Hall was supposed to be suspended for the whole game, and if we put him in now maybe we can save some face. What do you do?
At first, it seems clear that the right thing to do is to keep DJ Hall suspended for the whole game. You’re playing a fucking Sun Belt school, no need to break the glass on the fire alarm just yet, right? But then you think about how important he is to the Wide Receiver corps. How John Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson counts on him for so much, as do you. You picture the embarrassing loss against a Sun Belt school that would completely de-justify your $4 Million per season salary, the only thing you truly care about. No one would know, you tell yourself, unless the over-paid coach with the paid athletes can’t pull off the win against mighty Louisiana-Monroe.
Saban clearly is as good as he wants to be. RTR. UAT class at its finest.
Notice the foreward by known cheater Bill Beilchick… Bama will be back on NCAA sanctions in no time.

Fuck off
As good as the next team that’s foolish enough to hire you!
At least he didn’t write a response to defend his actions and have it published in the local paper.
SSoA,
you’re right. he just decided to compare the loss to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, RTR
Oh thats good. I thought that the Belichick name was photo shopped in because everyone knows he cheats. That is fucking rich, beotch.
Dinky fits right in at the Crapstain.
They got a mess down there in T-Town….
4- You know what I like to do? Lap up what ESPN tells me, even if a not-news story that was taken out of context in the 1st place is shoved in my face and blown out of proportion.
7 – What’s the mess? #1 recruiting class? National championship winning coach? Dedicated fans and alumni? Seems like the ship has been righted and is headed in the right direction.
SSoA, don’t even try to justify what Saban said after the ULM loss
#10 – Spot on. How can anyone be as foolish to make a statement drawing such a comparison? If the Tide loses to Ole Miss next year – and they will – Saban more than likely will claim it is the single worst defeat since the Alamo.
If $aban loses to Ole Miss, he will be dead by nightfall.
tell ya what. Let’s let Ucheat fix their wagon before they start worrying about ours. what have you done for me lately? well, we handed you a 41-17 spanking. It’s one i think you shirleys enjoyed…
Pick your window of history. I know it helps you sleep.

Hey Bammer, I’m not a UT fan. I wrote the Pulitzer Prize winning piece you just stared at. I say stared because I know you can’t read.
