re: Yall, I really miss coach already….

Hope we can stay away from the divisiveness here, there's just no need.

Not gonna lie, it hit me hard. What are you gonna do. I blame myself because nobody should get that invested in sports, but here we are...and there are certainly far worse ways to live one's life.

Coach Saban was always a steadying force for me. Sometimes, when I was having a bad day, I'd just think there was that guy out there who was just tirelessly grinding through much greater obstacles every day, for years on end. And always doing the right thing, while remaining a decent human being.

I think the greater sin would have been to not appreciate it along the way, which I never did. Never took a second of the ride for granted.

All that said, glad he left when he did. As always, he called his own shot!
