How would you feel if Nick Saban talked about the Iron Bowl every week of the year as if it were the only game that mattered?

What if he installed an Iron Bowl countdown clock in the locker room?

Just curious.

He prepares for the Iron Bowl 24/365. Not so far fetched of a question at all.

Does any coach do this about their own rivalry game?

I would think he's lost it because it would be wayyy out of character.

He doesn't care about Auburn. Auburn is a marginal 7 win team and maybe the 9th best program in the SEC currently. He'll say all of the right things about it being significant but I doubt he really cares.

He referenced dominating them 365 days a year when he was hired.I take that to mean competing against them in recruiting.I think he's done a pretty good job of this.

With all of Penn States problems you are worried about a clock?

There is no regular season game that Saban cares more about than the LSU game. That is the one he spends so much time preparing for.

I wouldn't want to give the boogs the satisfaction that we're thinking about them that much.

but i mean, i wouldn't lose sleep over it if he kept winning like he is. in fact, we may need him to start talking about them like that because if we keep destroying them like this, then no one will care and it will bring drama to the matchup and demoralize them that much more because i don't' care who you are... if someone is talking smack about you year-round you're going to want to beat them that much worse than you already do.

He did. Post 2010, "Never Again" was a motto that led the charge to the national title. Since that game, Auburn has been outscored 91-14 and they have failed to score an offensive touchdown in 8 quarters.

It's not that we don't think about them, we just drove them into an irrelevant low that few of their fans had ever seen. All while winning two national titles.

The only clock he should have is the one to the next game. We can fixate on the Auburn game if we want to, but he doesn't have that luxury. I just hope he never gets so lame as to start holding up fingers to brag about how many in a row he's won.

I would say he was possessed by Saban..... I mean Satan. Damn you Franklin.

Should we assume Malzhan has a bowl count down clock in his office?
