Nick Saban Crying....and being hypocritical at the same time

Nick is sad that the loser of this weekends SEC championship game likely will drop and Florida will get the Sugar Bowl bid.  He thinks that's not really fair - that Florida didn't fight their way into the SEC championship game, and are essentially undeserving of the Sugar Bowl bid.

Umm....hey remember last year when you didn't fight your way into the SEC championship game, yet slipped into the National Championship game anyway?!?!?!?

What is up with "what goes around, comes around", coming around for these SEC coach's? Chizik goes down in flames just two years after being named the nations best coach. Money can buy you a winning QB, but it sure can't buy you that Auburn love, huh Gene? Arkansas' season is very reminiscent of a Bobby Petrino motorcycle wreck in extreme sllooowwww motion. The program, unlike Petrino, will have a harder time walking away from the carnage. Last but not least, little Nicky. Last year, he was a the star of the greatest spectacle in sports; an all SEC national championship. Nick, I've got a feeling Karma is coming for you too. Georgia guts out a tough one in the SEC championship game. The Sugar Bowl selects Florida to play in New Orleans. And you my friend, are heading to sunny Orlando. That's right Nicky, what's in your wallet? But it's not just any game, it's a repeat of the "Debacle in Dallas." Staring at you from the far sideline as if your a cut of prime beef is none other than Michiscums' Brady Choke. Football purgatory at it's finest. Camera pans near empty stadium....cue the Michiscum fight song....annddd CUT!!

An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches

Are you saying that karma will come to get him because of the all-sec championship game? I'm as tired of the SEC dominance as much as anyone, but I don't think its immoral that they win.

I agree with Saban, just like how Michigan should not have gotten that bcs bid over Michigan State.  The ncaa rewards teams for not winning the division.

I agree as well, but don't you think it's ironic that Saban enjoyed that very situation last year?  To the tune of a national championship?!  LSU had to win the SEC championship game to get to the BCS NC game, and Bama enjoyed a Bye that week, but still got to go.

Ironic is too mild a word.  I agree with the terminology in your original post: hypocritical.

Yes it is absolutely incredibly ironic, I would have been even more ticked off though if Lsu lost and didn't get to go.  The Michigan thing last year though really ticked me off.

Also, I noticed a different, but similar article about this topic was already embedded in today's Skully extra links...my apologies for any redundancy.

Let's give the guy some credit, at least he's completely unabashed in his shamelessness, rather than slinking away from it like Kiffin

Some of his greatest hits:

  • Telling reporters that they need to "stay out" of the program's business with regards to oversigning and medical redshirting
  • Actively campaigning for his 2011 squad to make the Championship, whilst bemoaning that a near-identical UF squad will get into a BCS game the exact same way
  • Voting a close #3 (in the BCS rankings) Ok. State squad 5th on his coaches ballot (which directly influences the calculus)
  • Denying a year-long committed kid's scholarship because he suffered a season-ending injury (as well as trying to get him a job while he grayshirted)

LOL - shoot, why didn't OSU just tell reporters, and maybe even the NCAA, to just "stay out" of our program's business during Tatgate?!

Good compilation, Hodge.

Why is he even commenting on this anyway.  Is he expecting a Sugar Bowl snub because his team isn't good enough to beat Georgia?  I wouldn't want to hear my coach bitching about what will happen to my team if I lose before I actually lose the game.
