So I want everybody to think here for a second, how much does this game mean to you? 'Cause if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you're playing against, and you make his ass quit! That's our trademark! That's our M.O. as a team! That's what people know us as!

If I heard that speech in person

I’d spear my own mother into the ground.

Good God. I love this game.

Terrence Cody didn't like what time the sun came up today. So he reached up, and smacked it down.

How did you get that as a ringtone?

Because I’m so going to copy you and put it on my phone, too.

I think it's fair to say . . .

Nick Saban makes us better at everything we do. Even as I type this note, I am dominating the keyboard with the speed and strength of my fingers, bending it to my will.

If he wins a national championship for Bama

JUST THINK

You could have a shot at raising one of Nick Saban’s kids…what a gift that would be :)

You're right about that

Any time she’s feeling tired I play that clip to seduce her. Just like Colt 45, it works every time.

Saban's Philosophy

Goes along with what he stated when he started here about how he wanted opposing teams to hate playing us.

Awesome, just awesome…

Awesome.

I pledge allegiance, to Nick Saban,
and the University of Alabama
and to all of the awesomeness,
that came before him:
Bear Bryant, Gene Stallings
Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas and others
One Nation, Crimson & White,
with Championships and trophies for us!

that should be

on the disclaimer when you sign up for RBR. New members should have to state that before they join. That way, whenever some troll decides to come over and talk shit, we can blast him for being a traitor..

What comes to mind

while watching that video (other than the sensation to punch something) is..Really McElroy? Really?

JPW was able to hit Julio time and time again without one other WR threat on the field last year..So what exactly is your problem? GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME SON! Jesus if he would start to play “this” much better…There would be no worries about this game on Sat…
