Published 11/20/2007 by Jai Eugene at Loser with Socks
(They don’t give a shit what you think!! Bama’s Back, RTR!!!) Amazing, just when you thought that Bammeroids had hit rock bottom, Saban decides to take it to another level. I can’t wait to see how the Red Elephants spin machine turns this gaffe into a positive. Nick Saban is one screwed-up dude. And Bammers wonder why the rest of College Football thinks that they are f’n delusional idiots [ SI , HT YMSWWC].

... That didn't stop folks from making a mountain out of a molehill, though. The AP story started it: "Citing the 9-11 terrorist attacks and Pearl Harbor, Alabama coach Nick Saban said Monday his team must rebound like America did from a 'catastrophic event.'"

How many things can be called catastrophic ? Pearl Harbor or 9/11 come to mind right away, but there could be others that might not have been as big, but have affected us like the two mentioned. Well, thanks to the Head Coach of Alabama Nick Saban, you can add the Crimson Tide losing to Louisiana-Monroe to these events ! I have just one comment from reading that: Are we kidding ?
