Nick Saban could hardly contain him- self while going through the motions for yet another title celebration. |
"I mean we were so pissed, we started fightin' with ourselves!" Junior running back Eddie Lacy's obvious resentment was stemming from a lack of competition for the second straight year. "Our conference championship as a helluva lot more entertaining than this shit was!" Never mind that last year 'Bama shut out fellow SEC rival LSU 21-0 for the title.
Nevertheless, Nick Saban echoed his players sentiment about ending the season after the more compelling SEC Championship game every year. Went even further as to say that he felt deep remorse for any sponsors who had advertisements airing only in the second half of the broadcast, knowing that they "...were surely not seen by anyone outside of Tuscaloosa."
Coach was pretty dead-on.
Ratings show that most everybody outside of the state of Alabama stopped watching before the first quarter came to an end, and, evidence suggests that maybe even most of the in-stadium Tide fans became bored with the whole ordeal, as chants of "Roll Tide Roll!" ended well before halftime.
