Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

Can anyone confirm this???

A friend of mine told me (I think it was per Eli Gold on the radio) that T. Cody and somebody else were about to give Saban a gatorade bath until Ro came up, knocked it down, and said "we can't do that yet, we've still got one more game."  Has anyone heard of this news, or is it just the rumor mill churning?   I want to believe this happened.  Oh yes, I want to believe.

They showed guys with the cooler on TV....

…and as far as I know he didn’t get the Gatordade bath, so perhaps.

In Birmingham, local coverage of the game continued for hours after it was over. One reporter said that Alabama’s players were having fun of course, but that there was a lot of chatter about staying focused and finishing the season the right way.

I noticed that also

I expected to see Saban get doused, but he was completely dry after the game. I believe it.

MATRIX: Bennett, I thought you were--

BENNETT: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of the unit, I've been waiting to pay you back. Do you know what today is, Matrix? Payday.

Probably

I saw the Gatorade get hoisted, but Saban never got bathed.

If anyone out in Texas thinks we’re going to be overconfident for this game, they’ve lost their damn minds.

I'm wrong all the time.

They very much think we're overconfident

Can banking on the other team’s overconfidence lead to its own overconfidence?

I'm wrong all the time.

what if our team gets overconfident about Texas’ overconfidence in our overconfidence.

Wait, how’d I end up in this Escher painting?

yes...

Per ol’ Vern from the CBS broadcast booth they were getting ready to get saban and he went and dumped out two gatorade containers and the sideline reporter was saying he told them that " It wasnt finished" they had to finish it all before they could get him.

Good point...and..

..Texas fans are basing this overconfidence thing on their own team’s performance against Nebraska. Saturday morning they were going to demolish Nebraska and a lot of them were hoping for a Bama win because they were afraid of Florida and felt they ‘matched up better’ with Alabama.

Now, instead of looking at the matchups, they are trying to relish in this underdog role and are banking on Bama being overconfident (like they were) as their key to victory.

Sorry Texas, our coaches are not your coaches. We will be focused. You’re going to have to beat us on the field, not between the ears.

Yep.

I’m sure Applewhite will want a crack at us too.

We were listening on the radio

Don’t know what station, to Eli and that was broadcast. My family wins the prize for worst place to be stuck during the game (fist 3 quarters). In the Auburn natatorium, especially now that we are in TV’s digital age. That’s OK, if you have a child, you have to place first emphasis on the sports they involved in.

No Gatorade

until you win it all. Then Gatorade and a ride off the field.

This is why Alabama has never torn the goal post down at our own stadium. You don’t win the NC in T-Town, nor at the GA Dome.

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

to be completely honest, i don't want to see it at all.

the tradition at alabama is that the players carry the coach off the field. if we do win in pasadena, i’d prefer we eschew this gatoraide nonsense and stick to what was good enough for coach bryant and coach stallings.

Amen,

The gatorade should be used to mop the floors. Oh wait, we have already done that! Now to find the BEVO beef for grilling next game.

no kidding

i was getting sick of turkey, panther, horse, wild hog, cat, rooster, chicken, dog, and gator meat. now, finally, some cow.

for the next five days there is nothing in my heart but hate. pure, untempered, ice-cold hate. fond memories are for saturday. - Kleph
