Kind of like the whispered word, spread around to a few ears, and by the time it gets back to your ears, it isn't what you said at all!<br /><br />Excellent article by the way. It's what I've liked about you all along. You're honest, candid....and just a damn good writer Eric!<br /><br />Roll Tide!!loupihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341403747966362642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634952786236974171.post-6894922871189178872011-07-23T08:18:25.588-07:002011-07-23T08:18:25.588-07:00I wouldn't take it too personally, what Saban ...I wouldn't take it too personally, what Saban said. First, you know he was going to give a politically correct answer, especially considering his historically tenuous relationship with the media and the circumstances around the rivalry now, what with all the vitriol being spewed back and forth, Harvey Updike, and seemingly incessant accusations of cheating.<br /><br />At the same time, there's no way he was prepared to answer that question. He had to try to come up with a politically correct answer in half a second.<br /><br />I do know what Coach Bryant would have said. Of course, he didn't have to worry about the media like coaches, especially Coach Saban, have to today. If Coach Saban were to be completely frank, I'd bet his answer would be quite similar to Coach Bryant's.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083922612513063547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634952786236974171.post-54990308888868056372011-07-23T04:48:39.990-07:002011-07-23T04:48:39.990-07:00Great blog today and Roll Tide.
