WAR-MATT 2 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Wow!!!!! Link Futurepedia: The tragic nature of Nick SabanDec. 5, 2007 By Gregory Hardy SPiN Columnist Editor's note: The following excerpts are from a sports almanac published in 2057 that chronicles topics from the past 60 years. Look for it in five decades on the shelves of Wal-TargetMart for $199.99. NICK SABAN (B. OCT. 31, 1951), AMERICAN FOOTBALL COACH November 2007: After a three-game losing streak against LSU, Mississippi State and Louisiana-Monroe, Alabama's $4 million-per-year coach Nick Saban challenged his players to unify and reverse their fortunes. "Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event. It may be 9-11, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, and that was a catastrophic event." A school spokesman later clarified that Saban was not directly comparing the outcomes of football games to those invasions of the homeland. The thousands of innocent people killed in those events could not be reached for comment. December 2007: Following an Iron Bowl loss to Auburn and an Independence Bowl loss to Colorado that ended the Crimson Tide's year with a five-game losing streak, Saban summed up the disappointment of his first year at the helm of the storied program by saying it felt like "riding off the top of the Empire State Building on a bicycle that had no seat, and I landed on the pole that held the seat when I hit the ground." A school spokesman later clarified that Saban was not directly comparing the inept first season to fantasy dares that third-graders make in their elementary school cafeterias. November 2008: Following a 52-50 quadruple-overtime to loss to No. 1 LSU, Saban summed up his despair by saying it felt as low as he did following his rejection at an American Idol audition when he sang Ain't No Mountain High Enough. A school spokesman later clarified that Paula and Simon were on the fence with the performance, while Randy said, "I just didn't feel it, dog." March 2020: During an invasion of Earth by extraterrestrials, USF Bulls coach Saban compared humanity's need to unify and repel the alien enemies to the feeling of loss Miami Dolphins fans underwent when he jilted them for Alabama. A school spokesman was too busy leading a last-ditch, rag-tag rebellion to defend the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
