Seriously, Not Trying To Kiss You Know What, But for the First Time I have spent some significant time listening to Saban and I like him.

The year after we lost on the last play to Clemson and DeShaun Watson I happened to be in New Orleans due to the death of my Uncle. There were a ton of Clemson folks staying there for what I don’t know. Anyway I tried talking with them and congratulated them on their season and championship. They proceeded to say rather profane words with Bama being the second word (which I heard periodically throughout my stay because I always had my Bama hat on). To a man they either Stated how they were robbed of the first title too, or they ran out of time and both sentiments said Clemson would be owning Bama for the rest of eternity. Never once did they act with class. And this was like 30 folks that ran the gamut in age. Perhaps I just interacted with the 30 worst Clemson fans but I’ve seen that general attitude since then and it is general the viewpoint I hear from other schools fans that have interacted with them. Maybe it’s an Orange thing. maybe it’s a Tiger thing. Perhaps it’s a Dabo thing. Just count me in the category of “Not a fan of the whole Clemson fambly.”

I imagine their Classy fans had jobs to go back to. And lives. And..some schools are just....passing that stuff along to each other. I always thought CPB was mindful of this. He would say..prior to a bowl game..and to ALL Bama fans whether a grad or not...to be sure to show Class wherever we went. He was concerned when he saw Bama fans displaying a lack of class. How many coaches do that today?

I think you are making a humorous post that is going above my head. If not humorous, I am not a shriner and not related to Stevens.

Response with balance Most excellent.

In the spirit of good competition and respect for competition, I thought I would say what is stated in the thread title.

There is a very small connection between my family and Saban. A long time ago, my father got a football scholarship to Kent State but only lasted one year. (He told me he flunked math, but he told my brother that he had to go home to help his [Italian immigrant] family with money)

Hoping for a good game, but I know for a different outcome from those posting here.

Good post Buck and welcome. I have enjoyed all the OSU posters that discovered Tidefans and encourage you guys to come back anytime to discuss college football. Hoping for a great game by two bigtime programs.

As we approach T minus zero hour, and at the risk of kissing you know what, this is one of the better college football boards I've seen. Good conversation and not a lot of bull you know what. Well done.
