Let the Games Begin...

This picture is Saban two years after coaching at Alabama.

*** I will only make this one trash-talking post till Saturday. So here is a joke as well:


After Bear Bryant dies and enters the Pearly Gates, God takes him on a
tour. He shows Bear a little two-bedroom house with a faded Alabama
banner hanging from the front porch.

"This is your house, coach," God says happily. "Most people don't get
their own houses up here."

Bear looks at the house, then turns around and looks at the one
sitting on top of the hill. It's a huge, beautiful two-story mansion
with white marble columns and little patios under all the windows.
Auburn flags line both sides of the sidewalk and a huge Auburn banner
hangs between the marble columns.

"Thanks for the house, God," Bear says. "But let me ask you a
question. I get this little two-bedroom house with a faded banner and
Shug gets a mansion with Auburn banners and AU flags flying all over
the place. Why is that?"

God looks at him seriously for a moment, then says, "Bear, that's not
Shug's house. That's mine."
