Excise them demons!

In all seriousness he is a great coach, one of the best ever whose accomplishments will live on in the annals of college football history.  His name will never be forgotten and will surely be repeated in every football game henceforth until the end of time.

I wonder if all the Bama chicks are going to stop wearing Bear Bryant hats and start wearing powder blue blazers.

Go Vols!

Not a bama fan but I wish he would have went out after last national championship. The career he had would have been awesome to go out on top instead of riding it out. I more curious see how many transfers start happening.

A few of my memories from when my son was an undergraduate recruiting assistant for Billy Napier.  My son said Saban didn’t normally allow the bottom feeders to get a SEC Championship rings.  This must have been special to Saban. I blurred out the last name on the ring. Those who’ve interacted with me know it. Unfortunately the G.O.A.T. wasn’t as generous with National Championship rings. 
 

I was all over that place, even in Saban’s private office. The coolest thing I saw was the old anti-gravity treadmill they used to get Mark Ingram ready for the natty. It cost a fortune at the time. 
 

Those are Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry’s Heisman Trophies.

 

A little off topic, but my son is finishing up his PhD at Florida, and he says Napier is still a down to earth guy after all these years.

I have two friends that are brothers and diehard Bama fans. Their Mom is elderly and lives alone, they both check on her daily. The oldest called his brother when the news broke and said “are you sitting down?”, he said “no, is it Mom?” The oldest brother said”No! It’s worse, Saban retired!”.
