Nick Saban Called Out Alabama Students After Saturday’s Game
© Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports
Following Alabama’s 62-10 win over New Mexico State, head coach Nick Saban went in on students for not showing up for weak non-conference games. Per 247Sports...
quote:

“Everybody wants to be a part of the team. Everybody wants to be No. 1, but everybody don’t want to do what the beast does. Everybody wants to be the beast, but they don’t want to do what the beast do.

So, everybody’s got to make a sacrifice. You want to be the lion? Everybody got to do something. Everybody wants to be No. 1. If I asked that whole student section, do you want to be No. 1? Nobody would hold their hand up and say I want to be No. 4. They would all say No. 1. But are they willing to do everything to be No. 1? That’s another question. You can ask them that.”

The students view Saban as a highly paid monkey, paid to provide them entertainment. They want him to STFU and win.

Get used to it. It’s going to get worse. The trend in college football is for less people (not just students) go to games. Why should they? Heat, traffic, high priced tickets. I’m not sure I will ever go to another game again.

Who wants to sit in that sauna to watch probably the worst D1 program out there? Play a real frigging team and they might stick around.

Try scheduling UT , OU or Ohio St. instead of junior high teams. Fans might show up. BD Stadium looked pathetic. Calling out the fans is a waste of time. This is on you, Nick.

What is the students showing up for NMSU going to do for this team? They won by a million points anyway.

"they don’t want to do what the beast do." I see that Saban has taken on the accent of his players.

Unless Nick is handing out championship rings to students who sit in 100 degree heat to watch Bama beat up on high school teams, he needs to just stahp with this.

I didn't know that a coach could suggest when I stay or leave a game after I pay for my own ticket. Gumps

Nick is aware that more often than not college athletes are far and away the most arrogant human beings on campus and as a result aren’t overly popular among their peers. You sometimes have to get away from the school and the close quarters with them before you can bye into fandom again. Not all but a healthy percentage.
