OT Nick Saban on self absorbed fans

Don’t think it was the fans that started it. For years now the talking heads at espn and media in general have been going on with that margin of victory crap. They need to win and win big..blah blah blah. Give me a freakin break, a win is a win!!

 

[CockySC01]

Sounds like ol’ Nick wants to lower expectations?! A win is a win, but some wins aren’t exactly wins. like our 1 point Vandy win this year. I’ll take it, but nothing to celebrate.

We have a few of those "self-absorbed folks that can't appreciate what other people are doing" right here on this board. Constant whining and negativity. Downplaying anything positive.

I love a good Nick Saban rant!

His wife has always said that there's no joy in winning at Alabama, just relief.

Yep. Some of the things he said he could have taken straight from one of my post over the last couple of months. Those coaches and players want to win more than any fan possibly could. The constant suggestion that that isn't true, or that someone doesn't care, or that our university isn't committed to winning is utter nonsense.

Not only do those coaches and players want to win more than fans, and hate losing more than fans, but they know more about how to go about it than fans ever will.

Now go ahead and tell me I'm wrong, prove your ignorance.

I actually used to same exact wording 2 days ago in response to some of these constant whiners. "Self-absorbed"

Wrong.

You are just mad because I call you exactly what you are. A bunch of crying Nancy Kerrigan's that are so self-absorbed and narcissistic that you can't be fair to our current coach because you didn't get the one you want.

Suck it up, buttercup. Beamer has FAR exceeded expectations and isn't going anywhere, no matter what kind of nut job excuse you and others come up with to downplay what this team and staff have accomplished.

I'm sure Bear Bryant's wife felt the same way, and probably Urban Meyer's as well. Those people are in it because they are driven, not because they are having fun.

I'm not sure that scores the points you think it does. Those people arguing with you (to my recollection) held Bama up as the program to emulate. So holding up Bama as an example just gets everyone's agreement, imho.

The original "Rat Poison" thing will live on as a classic.

Oh lordy. Points? Damn. I don't think I'm trying to score any points but that didn't stop you from completely missing the point.

Points, when there's an argument or debate. You have a good point, I don't think you made a good point, you missed the point, etc. It's a pretty common expression.

As for missing the point? Maybe you meant something different by offering up Bama as an example to counter people who were also holding up Bama as an example. I may have missed the nuances of your debates with them, but I found that twist humorous.

I'm not trying to score. Saban made a "point" about Bama fans. That you completely missed that "point" to instead focus on your own "twist" is perfectly typical. At this "point" you're so deep into what you think this is about I can't even begin to try to dig you out of it.

But go on, tell me more about the English language I've been speaking for 57 years.

So now you're good with using the term points? Okay. Seemed a weird thing to be confused about to start with. Almost like just trying to manufacture conflict where there was none.
