    Absolutely bullshit move by Saban.

    But for AQB, a fucking fanboilooser who posts 50 times during every fucking Cubs game, to complain about NY threads that don't exist, is total stupidity.

    I'm just happy to live and work in a place where U.S. college football deservedly gets very little coverage or exposure, a place where, no matter the sport, coaches who think and act like they're bigger than their teams are thankfully in the vast minority.

    In other words, I would not have a clue who people like Nick Saban are if not for this site......and apparently I'm not missing anything.

    In college athletics, where the roster turns over every four years, the coach is always bigger than the team. And they're paid like it.

    I hate Saban with a passion, but let's not pretend he doesn't matter in the sports landscape... He's the HC of one of the biggest programs in the country and is almost inarguably one of the top five coaches in the college game.

    Exactly.

    I don't even know if I could name a Canadian university football coach.

    Oh yeah, fuck Saban. [bitterDolphinsfanboilooser]

    The rosters in Canadian junior hockey turn over every three years or thereabouts. Coaches are still generally not bigger than the team. And even in cases where they are, they still don't have licences to be douchebags.

    He doesn't matter in my sports landscape. Not one iota. Neither does college football, though. That's not pretending on my part, that's a fact.

    Yes, because compaing Canadian junior hockey with University of Alabama football is always a 1-to-1 comparison.

    Let me know when the East Bumfuck Puckhandlers expand their home ice to accomodate 100,000, eh?

    We have some junior hockey types who would fall into a fairly similar position around here though, I'd think.

    Saban does not matter in the Northeastern US sports landscape...FACT!

    And before you jump on my regionalism/provincialism (really, that's funny coming from you SEC droolers) this is in direct response to Mizzou's post.
