Naming your football field after a coach that stepped down after placing his school on NCAA probation.
Talk about Idol worship.

Ok, I honestly had no idea that your football field was named after a basketball coach. That is truly bizarre.


Their baseball field is named after a basketball player (but I guess later, AD).

Maybe the Walk of Champions is just a placeholder for future championships... like way in the future.

It was really to honor him for being AD here, but regardless, the guy is known for his stints as a coach. Yet another in a long line of jackass decisions regarding Kentucky football.

Yes, Cliff Hagan stadium is named after yet another former Rupp basketball player, and yet again, it is because of his stint as athletics director and not basketball. Regardless there can be no doubt the new stadium should be named after Keith Madison.

Walk of champions also looks cheap and something a small, poor school would do.

As a guy with the name Jordan. It is just a way old southern people pronounce it. I have pretty much only heard it from people that are 70+ these days.

We will put it on the list with "Larn Mower", "Idear", and "Raymen Noodles"

This is familiar. I heard that many times living in Florida around 05/06. How Bama was a dead blue blood. Yet since Saban third year, it's just been one gator face fricking after another.

Saban statue is very sad.
why, cause he's so short? or bc he can't escape Tuscaloosa?




No. It's because it bears no resemblance to him. Whatever y'all paid the artist to do that thing, it was too much. If I was Nick, I'd tell UA to take that shite down and call the guy who did the Shaq statue in front of the PMAC.

The problem with Saban's statue is that it isn't like the other four. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

So and so field at whatever stadium. A couple even named their press-box for someone, I believe.

Stadium name is plenty.

Yeah. Bama never had any success prior to Saban being there. It's not like we've won at least one SEC Championship in every single decade since the conference was created or anything.

Saban's statue looks like a miniature replica of an Andy Griffith statue.

We've had 5 different coaches win national titles in football, and 4 of them won multiple titles.

Also, the only SEC team to win an SEC title in every decade.
