Nick Saban Remembers Kent State Shootings

Sunday was the 38th anniversary of the Kent State shootings, where National Guardsmen opened fire on protesters & killed four students. And Nick Saban was on campus the day of the shootings, as the current Alabama coach was a defensive end for the Golden Flashes' team. Seems strange that someone who experienced such a tragic event would later compare a football loss to 9/11 & World War II.

Four months ago, on the eve of the BCS championship game, I gave you my Ridiculously Early Top 25 for 2008. A lot has changed since then. Now that spring practice is over, I’m going take the next three days to give you The TB Top 30 for the summer of 2008. We’ll start today with 21-30 plus 10 more that didn’t quite make the cut. On Tuesday we’ll have 11-20 with the Top 10 on Wednesday.

Nick Saban uses video conferencing -- perfectly legal, says the NCAA -- to keep in touch with recruits during dead periods. Sneaky.
