Bama is a Navy Seal team a well oiled machine . Nick Sabin knows everything runs everything . Josh Reed once said Sabin knows where his players are at all times like he has spies .
Simply saying everyone picks up on his work habits, his organization, his will to win .

It's also official and undebatable, Nick Saban is the GOAT college football coach... It's been frustrating, yet intriguing to watch these last 12 years.


He’s been the goat for a while now. But I agree. It’s been extremely frustrating yet interesting to watch. We’re lucky to sneak a title in while he’s having this run.

I don’t understand the logic in rooting for Bama


There's no logic in rooting for LSU either. It has nothing to do with logic. Our lives are not materially changed by any of this.

A lot of us older guys root for Bama in these situations (or Georgia, Florida, etc.) because when we grew up the south was very disrespected in the AP polls. It infuriated us to see the northeastern and western teams overrated, so whenever a southern team played them it was a chance to stick a thumb in their eye. That old habit has stayed with us.

Also, there is an old Arab saying, "Me against my brothers; my brothers and I against the tribe; our tribe against the world. This saying describes the concentric circles of allegiance that are embedded in the human psyche.

Never do I pull for the Gumps. I pull for every other SEC team during bowl season.... but not the Gumps.

Big 10 should be renamed the big 1. That's why. Like Notre Dame. Bama's first three drives against ND were 75 yards, 96 yards and 80+ yards,ALL 2 minutes and change, then Bama thought it needed to slow down to let the D rest. Could have been 56 nothing. ND is a joke. O State plays an easy schedule every year. Yeah I'm not a Bama fan but an SEC fan as long as voting teams in matters.

Because Saban laid a rock-solid Championship foundation that let's even mediocre coaches claim responsibility for??

LSU fans don’t. SEC fans do. Don’t confuse the two.

You can go ahead and just remove my name from that list! I will never ever ever EVER pull for Alabama! Saban, the players and more so the fans can go suck a HUGE Tiger dick!

I no longer pull for Alabama. I love the SEC but can’t stand the rhetoric that comes out of their mouths. They hv become the equivalent of a communist government. Lol ( maybe not that bad but you get my meaning)
This hurts LSU recruiting, look at their top players from the state of Louisiana!

I suppose you are too young to remember when Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida State, and Tennessee would raid Louisiana for the best talent.
All those Universities had Louisiana players when they won National Championships.
Orgeron seems to be closing the gate.

Bama could be playing North Korea and i still wouldn’t root for em. No force on heaven or earth could get me to root for that program.

I would pull for coach Satan and the university of hell diablos before pulling for Bama. you'd have to be completely braindead to want Bama to win more championships. Saban will continue to cherry pick the best from Louisiana and all over until he leaves and their run ends. The worse our opponents do, the more successful we will be.

I don't. But considering half the fricking team is from La, chances are you will run across friends and family that do.
