I loved how Saban handled this

Are we in? no problem
Who do we play? no care
Pizza party? nah
Open stadium stadium to students for announcement? nope
Players gather to watch show? they were sleeping
ESPN had to turn the lights on in the complex-



Bama don't care about getting in. It's expected. Now the season starts.

Bama football-

We act like we've been there before because, well, we have.

I love the "act like you've been there" approach.

I think the lights out, stay home approach was to hide the looks on the players's faces if it was announced they would be playing Oklahoma again.

The ESPN crew actually had to turn on the lights themselves...

Banquet in Birmingham last night, game Saturday night, let everyone have a break. These shows are over-hype anyway and their expiration date has passed.

Saban said publicly that he handled and approached the playoff the wrong way. I like the new approach. Process it. No parties. No celebration. Business. DWI.

Don't strain your shoulder patting yourself on the back.

I knew it would be that way. I just had a feeling. Remembering how lax and smug they were last year had me uneasy. Even through weeks of prep until the game all there were talks about how older players were dismissing Ohio State, talking about how they would kill them and referencing the 2011 Capitol One Bowl. I'm glad there is no one left from that time. Hope these guys are focused, they will need it in both games.

Makes sense. We keep making it, no reason to celebrate doing the exact same thing you did last year.

We won the SEC - that gets a celebration.

We win the playoffs? Then we'll celebrate.

It was funny to see two completely opposite reactions.

Clemson has a pizza party at the stadium for 20,000 people as if they had already won the trophy.

Michigan State watches collectively as a team, and we get shots of all of them with an "oh frick" look on their face.

One team thinks they have already won the championship, the other thinks they are already out.

Meh. I think it is just playing into the mystique that the media gives Alabama as a whole. Similar to Lebron James and his fake BS.

Hopefully it's not as short and disappointing as last season.
