The quote from Saban about players showing their arses specifically referred to angry behavior in the locker room immediately after the Rose Bowl loss.

I found it to be a bizarre comment and was seemingly disconnected from the rest of his quotes (which focused on NIL and the state of college football today). I find it hard to believe that there weren’t plenty of players across his career that threw their helmets or were fighting mad after a terrible loss like the one in January.

This was a very weird game for a number of reasons. It was Sept. 21 but still the home opener, the latest home opener I can remember. And it was definitely a slow game after the barn burner @ TAMU the week prior.

But the thing I remember the most about this game was the truly incredible sunset that happened during the game. Easily the best I’ve ever seen in Tuscaloosa (a town with great sunsets), I caught myself staring it and not watching the slow game on the field. Anyone else remember that? I’m sure there are some pics out there somewhere of it

ETA: one other funny memory is that late that night after the game I remember walking down the Strip around closing time and it was a little rowdier than usual and two CSU fans were just sitting on the curb looking terrified as if to say “is it always like this?”

Hearing the presser will be Friday. Assuming it’s the full deal but would be interesting to see if he doesn’t immediately sign with an agent, would be more waiting.

I actually heard this today from someone who would have reason to know about it. Was surprised to see it posted about on here, so it must be getting around. Supposedly, it is already a done deal that he's headed there with Chip Kelly.
