You guys are a riot!

Delaney has really put Michigan on the spot. I am not just gloating because I am an Alabama fan. I am warning Delaney AND the rest of the coaches in Saban’s field of view: As OldArmy put it: Don’t poke the bear. Ask Les Miles what happens when you do. I can understand that many around the country feel slighted because of what happened last season. But when you reflect that, as Saban said, at one point, there was LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, 1-2-3. And Georgia was in the top 10 too, I believe. That was dominance. Not collaboration. To be the best, you must beat the best. If you lose to the best in an embarrasing fashion, then don’t whine about who’s the best. And it’s about the best TWO teams in the country playing for the championship. How we arrive at who that is, is sometimes subjective. But you don’t argue that grits ain’t groceries just because you don’t eat grits!!!

@AllTideUp Its just not a good practice to poke the bear…. Its one of the new laws of the Universe, if Saban wants you and does not get you this year, you’re just under a suspended sentence…..

@AllTideUp Either way, its just not a good practice. It I think has been proven as one of the new laws of the Universe that if Saban wants you and does not this year, you’re just on a one year suspended sentence…….

As for Delaney, perhaps he has a secret hatred for Michigan.

Not defending Delaney but someone may want to tell Coach Saban that basketball doesn’t playoff the top 68 teams. It is actually a mix of champions from conferences and at large teams. Basketball may have been the worst example he could’ve used to make his point.

@OldArmy I think he’ll focus on Michigan in a new probably. Conversation overheard at Jerry World next year- Brady Hoke: Good to see you Nick, Nick Saban: DESTROY!

Just how stupid do you have to be to get on Saban’s radar screen? …… aparently the picture next to that definition comes from Delany’s family album.

There’s stupid, and then there’s getting in a land war in Asia, heavily investing in sub-prime loans….. and giving Nick Saban cause to spend a little extra time on how to make your life miserable. Note to Delany, that you got a response in 24 hours does not put your comment in “the good things I have done this year” column in your daily planner.

Thank you Delany. Every minute Saban fixates on you is one less he fixates on the rest of us.
