Coach Saban showing his many connections:

  • I wish I could have called Lucas and asked him not to make the Star Wars prequels. Nice article.

    From al.com---

    Saban told the audience that the Crimson Tide's preparation for its rematch with LSU was "almost a perfect storm," including an inspirational speech the week before the game from motivational speaker Kevin Elko and a private viewing of the movie "Red Tails" nearly two weeks before it was scheduled to be released.

    Saban said he called director George Lucas to request the viewing and Lucas relented on one condition: "You've got to say something about it after the game."

    What about 2011 Tide is Nick Saban most proud of? How they handled regular-season loss to LSU

    Saban spoke in Mobile on Monday at benefit for Team Focus, which provides positive male role models for fatherless boys

  • "In a meeting with media members before Monday's event, Saban said he believes this year's Alabama team has a better mindset toward defending its title than the 2010 squad, which finished 10-3 a year after the Tide won the national crown in 2009.
    "Maybe there's enough guys on this team who experienced that a few years ago," he said. "Because the most important thing about your team is that your team improves. We're not where we need to be. We have to work to improve."

    Let's do it like the GymTide did!

  • Is there any doubt whatsoever that Saban is the best coach in the country? No doubt on my part.

    I have it on pretty good authority that this is the year Chizik makes his move and leaps CNS in the eyes of cfb enthusiasts.

    That's bad news for future opponents!

  • I was at the dinner last night and that was a great story he told. He had some other funny stories too. All in all a great speech by saban. Pretty much what i expected. Eli gold was great to listen to as well. Never seen what he looked like before so it was weird actually seeing that voice come out of his mouth. Got an autograph afterwards to on my mini football which javier arenas has already signed. Super nice guy.

    Well it worked. I went and saw it as soon as it was out. Based solely on Nicks recommendation.
