During his final season in 04, I think before the Vandy game. A friend got me into the hotel/conference center or wherever where the team eats lunch before the game. I was out in the little courtyard area talking to some other fans when Saban came darting out and pushed someone's, must have been 7 year old son, and said "Get out of my way!"

Seems legit.



Actually, it probably is.

A friend of mine's dad was on the Board of Supervisors when Blanco was governor. I got to go to a couple of pretty high level functions with him. My friend couldn't stand Saban (and this was at the time he was coaching) because he did pretty much the same thing to his kid.

I worked as a bartender for three years where they had the coaches show. He would show up 30 seconds before they were supposed to go on air, walk around the restaurant twice during commercial breaks shaking hands without looking any fans in the eye or conversing, and be out of there 15 seconds after the show. I served him his drinks for three years and maybe spoke 20 total minutes, the culmination of which was in the third year my gf asked me if I could get some posters signed that they were going to raffle off for Childrens Miracle Network. You would have thought I asked for his firstborn. The exasperated sigh he made after the request took longer than the three signatures.

By the way Hawthorne is the worst tipper ever. He would order a Mich light, $2.75, tip the quarter. Order a second beer and take the quarter cause he had tipped the first time.
