I was not planning on waking up and writing about Nick Saban this morning. Something Mike Tyson once said about the best of plans come to mind…
Why?
Because Saban hit Ole Miss in the mouth on Wednesday before the United State Congress.
This is some of what he said: “We have nothing to control tampering. You know, Clemson had a player that was on campus for a whole week, and they (Ole Miss) come and got him off the campus and took him someplace else.”
This wreaks of hypocrisy after Saban did all that winning in Tuscaloosa prior to the NIL era and almost always against the rumored backdrop of things far worse than what he just accused Ole Miss of doing.
It was Saban and best pal Kirk Herbstreit who implored Ole Miss to keep Lane Kiffin through its playoff run on College Game Day.
How did that work out for them?
Think they were giving an honest opinion? Look up who represents them all. I dare you.
Saban does not hold the Rebels close to his heart.
THE SHOWERS ARE COMING
Not the beer showers, mind you. We are done playing baseball at Swayze this season.
These will be pee showers, if you will.
As in the system…mass media and the best of the good ol’ boys…is about to try to leak on our anticipated parade.
I could hold my own in any argument for one of the top five rosters in all of college football resides in Oxford, Mississippi.
I could win an argument that the best quarterback in the game is Trinidad Chambliss, especially against a media giant that just listed him as like the No. 48 best player in college football.
What the hell was that writer’s criteria? How in the heck was that allowed to be published?
Now Saban has carried “negative” Ole Miss to the political spectrum where sound bytes are big business.
Get prepared to hear…feel…more showers.
Ole Miss is the renegade candidate that the system allowed to happen.
Now, they cannot control us, as we play hard ball within the rules they created.
Sounds a little like President Donald Trump, doesn’t it?
“We’re going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please, it’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore. Mr. President, it’s too much.’ And I’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more.’”
I digress.
Make Ole Miss great again!
