[bamamc1]

We were so blessed to have him take over our program during a pivotal time and resurrect it and build it back to its rightful place. Thank you coach for all of your hard work. RTR

God I miss that man so much, I really loved that speech. What an incredible speaker.

Somehow, The Gravedigger did not win best play.

Straying from CNS's speech, but since you brought it up: It was not a great play but a lucky one. Even in AU played that stupid rush 3 defense, it's probably a 1 in a 100 type play.

The throw was great and the catch even better, but simply luck. If you can't tell, I'm still a little miffed at why we were in the position in the first place. But I'm so glad it worked out. It would have been really bad if that was CNS's last meaningful game.

Mal Moore ... chose wisely.

Mal knew something. And he had the tenacity to pull it off.

No luck at all required on the winning play. It was pure skill and execution.

A very powerful message in that speech. Unfortunately, only a very few in the media knew that side of Coach Saban and all he did for others. A truly great man and coach who will be missed on autumn afternoons.

In years to come people will see the national championships he won but his greatest victory was in the hearts of his coaches, players and fans. CNS instilled character for life.
