Dear Coaches,
First of all, let me congratulate on you the outstanding undefeated season each of you had. It is a testament of the caliber of coaching staff, players, and fans that each of your teams has. Our team was fortunate enough to play well when necessary and captured a SEC Championship as well as an undefeated season. Additionally, we were pitted against the BCS #1 team in our championship game which allowed us to be seated for the National Championship contest.
That being said, allow me to get straight to the point; the reason that I am writing each of you. I believe my predecessor, the legend Bear Bryant once commented: “A tie is like kissing your sister”. Upon the outcome of your BCS Bowl game, if your team remains undefeated I would like to propose something to you and your team. My team and I would like to invite you to a scrimmage after each or our team’s BCS Bowl game at our UA Tuscaloosa stadium for a friendly contest. This contest, “Scrimmage” would allow the remaining undefeated teams to play each other to let the teams decide who is indeed - the best team in the nation. I have discussed with my players, coaches, athletic department, UA President Office and of course our lawyers – hence the game is being captured as a “Scrimmage”. I had to twist some arms and have waivers signed etc. Again, if this is possible – let’s try to kick this off in late January. This will allow for consistency of players, mindset, and physicality.
Please respond to myself, or have your athletic department contact ours. Thank you for your consideration with this matter. This is not a joke. The way I was raised and the way our team feels- this is how we roll – to speak in some of my player’s vernacular. Roll Tide Roll! We want to earn our National Championship and if we have to kick some extra ass after the bowl game, so be it!
On behalf of the University of Alabama Football Team, Coaching Staff and Crimson Tide Fans.
Sincerely,
Coach Nick Saban

Saban letter
I was told this about the letter. Coach Saban wrote first thing this morning when he arrived at his office – 5:30 am. I was told it was picked up by FedEx this morning at 1000 am. Three separate packages went out. He asked that his office to keep this under the cuff; but one of them must be an Auburn fan and did not abide by his intentions. Anyways, Coach Saban has gained my respect with this letter he has written. I truly doubt it will ever happen.
Most heads of state around the world have been informed that there is a presence in the inner solar system causing the current Earth changes such as increased quakes and weather anomalies. They have been told that the main worry is panic in the people, and that this presence will pass by without great catastrophe on Earth. Until they realize they have been lied to, they will remain silent, only laying plans for such matters as floods or food shortages or perhaps grid failure because of electro-magnetic flux. When this information is disseminated, it is done with great pomp, so that the seriousness of the situation is stressed. Within the astronomical community, it is treated as a national security issue, and the rumor that certain members who have met with an accident were killed because they could not keep their mouths shut is a factor in keeping this community silent. It is not much different among heads of state and their associates. One hears of land in safe areas being bought up, of bunkers laid in with supplies, of the wealthy having second homes in odd out of the way places. They are making personal preparations. They are in the know!

An object lesson
On “how to try to write like Saban, an fail miserably.”
Nice work.
I'm wrong all the time.
I'm also amused...
…by how people think he’d be getting a meaningless scrimmage together right now instead of…you know…scheming for Texas.
Not to mention the field at Bryant denny looks like shit after the Super 6 planted corn there.
Your temper brings dishonor to my happy mooshu palace.
has this letter actually been circulating our fanbase?
if so, i’m seriously questioning the intelligence of the Bama nation

maybe...
but we’ll never be that special degree of insane it takes to be a fan of the volunteers.

Guys I just received a letter from Nick Saban....
it was accidently put into my box as the numbers are similar. My address is North Hole and this one is labeled North Pole. Turns out it’s Sabans letter to Santa. He’s asking for some thick soled shoes, a Lane Kiffin dart board, some Reces Pieces and a Blu Ray of ET.
