Knowing the effect it has on reputation, image, and most of all recruiting, Coach Saban continues to ask for the aegis of the fanbase on A-Day.

One of my all-time favorite words!

Athena’s aegis both saved and redeemed certain and particular heroic lives of myth. The power of all myth rules the crumbling edge of my sanity and helps me to make sense of the world in front of me. Whether that be a world leader, a far away amateur football team, or the most likely fabricated life of an ancient nobleman.

Aegis. Such a superlative word. So simple, it shows its own genius.

Comer4tide to Nico2.0: "How come I've never heard of any of your random songs?"
Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"
