quote:

LSU coach Nick Saban found an irritated Dennis Francione waiting midfield after the Tide defeated the Tigers 31-0. The Alabama coach was angry over an anonymous e-mail message about a post game speech attributed to Saban.

But Saban denied he made the snide remarks about Alabama and the schools NCAA sanctions. The e-mail however turned out to be a hoax and the prankster had published a retraction. The following Wednesday Francione said he now realized Saban didn't make the remarks. "There's been information passed along to us now that would indicate that was not true and very unfortunate," he said.

The author of the e-mail message "just made it all up," Saban said. "He wasn't in the locker room. He wasn't within 800 miles of the locker room." The prankster later published a retraction, Saban said. But Franchione and his team apparently did not see it before the game. "It was pretty obvious as I was walking across the field that some of the Alabama players were pretty upset about it Saban said."

Karsten was the sideline guy (RIP)

Mike Gottfried (Mark's uncle) was the color man

Talk about ELITE BOARDING

Some Bammer made up a quote and it literally influenced the game. That's HOF material.

every ESPN night game seemed so big, even though LSU sucked so bad we didn't get the ESPN night game too often..was fun to watch the other games with their call

Think he's leaning in but he's not a tall guy.

He may be as wide as Saban is tall, though.

Oh. You. Now you’re just trying to get me to drive where you are and buy all the drinks.

True story - muh granMAMA used to buy Merle Norman cosmetics from Keith Jackson’s mother back in the 1960’s. Prolly Bragg was her name. KJ initially ended his broadcasts with a score recap and the sign off “and from Pasadena, California (or Norman or Lincoln or Jacksonville or Tuscaloosa or wherever), good night Miss Polly.” She sat huddled in her home in Bremen, GA watching every broadcast KJ was on.

And stories like that, friends, is why the Atlanta United and communist kickball won’t never be nothing but an ankle biter in the south.
