With Saban retiring, this past weekend my wife reminded me of something Saban-related I'd said to her years ago. She was giving me some grief and asked me how much I loved her. I told her that if Adriana Lima showed up in a Ferrari 488 GTB with a '59 Les Paul in the trunk and Nick Saban in the passenger seat holding lifetime 50 yard line Bama season tickets and she said to me, "Ooh la la Beeeshop, if you leef your wife and come with me, you can haf thees Ferrari, the Les Paul, the teekets, half my $80 million dollars, and you can haf ME!" I'd tell her no, but I'd be standing on the front deck as they drove away, crying and calling out, "I... sniff, sniff, I... I love you Nick! Call me!"

I think he's fantastic. The rest of Game Day absolutely sucks.

Pat MacAfee is proof that you don't have to be any kind of talented or intelligent to make it big in this world. There are larger forces in the universe at work making sure that guy is never going to have to worry ever again.

I feel bad for Corso, but shit, if I'm pushing 90 and I'm still in any way the dancing bear getting tips thrown at me I'll take that future in a second. Bless that man.

I think McAffee's thing is partly an act. He got a 37 on the Wonderlic. But he's got a shtick to be a dude bro to appeal to the 14-40 demo.

I'm sure you're right, but I still find him unbearably juvenile and annoying. He's the hyperactive kid all grown up now with a platform.

He is certainly over the top and juvenile but he's probably good for the atmosphere on location.

I would like him to dial it back a few notches, don't get me wrong.

I was a big McAafee fan as he began his ascent on the sports media scene, but I kind of agree he's become a bit too much at times. I think GameDay needed a jolt of energy on the panel, but now there's just too many guys up there. Saban was a dynamite addition. Watching him breakdown film is going to be a treat.

Agree. You don't need more than 3-4 max.

Quit watching a few years ago. Only thing I saw from this past Saturday was a clip of Saban’s phenomenal quote about NIL & Herbie telling him he just broke the internet.

Yeah, it was pretty awesome.

I also like "somebody has to beat Georgia" as the ultimate flex since he was the last guy to do it and the only one to do it in the last three years.

Saban breaking down film really is a sight. He's probably forgotten more about football than I'll ever come to know.

Buddy of mine said he was on Hard Knocks discussing Caleb Williams & the Bears.

I’m not a huge fan of McAfee’s shtick, but I don’t know if this fantastic moment from last season happens without him there. Maybe my favorite Gameday clip since Corso’s “ah f*** it” from years back.

Yes. He coached Eberflus at Toledo. Crazy stuff.

The HBO Documentary with Belichick and Saban is great. Seems like Belichick learned a lot from Saban over the years when you assume it was maybe the other way around.

Never saw this, absolutely no way it happens without PM. Turned a boring expose into some real entertainment, good stuff :laugh:

Greg McElroy, a former Alabama quarterback, mentioned a source close to Saban believes he'll coach again, though McElroy himself believes Saban is done.

USC or LSU seem like real possibilities if either or both miss the playoffs.

Not a chance he wants to deal with NIL again or, even more importantly, that Miss Terry lets him. He surely misses some of it, especially as it was a few years ago, but he's done.

Plus he’s already very involved with the program behind the scenes.
