Saban upset he's only getting 1 week between semi and title game

[RobToxin]

It would be nice between the NFC and AFC Championships and the Super Bowl

LOL

History has shown that when there isn't an extra week between conference championship games and the Super Bowl, the game is usually a whole lot more competitive.

What's happening on January 28th?

NCAA schools should never play back to back games.

They should be allowed time for everyone on the roster to get healthy before they have to play again too.

 

[BigAppleBadger]

You're right, why in the world would anyone want to see 2 teams with fresh players who have had time to practice a gameplan before playing in the biggest game of the year?

Because then the game is all about schemes.

When a team has played 2-3 tough games in consecutive weeks before a big matchup, that's when you see who they really are.

 

[Wishbone]

Actually Saban has more time to prepare than Georgia as they have to make a cross country journey back from California.

Do they have a week off this year?

I honestly don't know. Haven't paid attention.

But I do know this:

Not one NFL team will have had an entire month off between their last regular season game and their first post season game.

Alabama has played one game...one...since Thanksgiving!

They need more than 7 days rest after having an entire month off?

If that's true, then college football is in pitiful shape.

I'd say most any coach who's done the same turn around would agree. What would the coach that's done it 3 out of the past 4 years know about it?

At the end of the day it's the same for all teams, so it's not like he's looking for an advantage.

But I mean, when has the truth ever stopped people from bashing Saban?

A Saban coached team is hard enough to beat with a week to prepare let alone several. Saban knows this and if he can get it pushed back in the future it increases his chances of winning. It has nothing to do with the players they've played one game in a month.

 

[Inquisitor95]

Imagine what it will be like when it goes to an 8-team playoff.

 

[RobBase]

I thought Alabamaians were tough?

Then we ought to play the Championship game in September

 

[outofyourmind]

I guess St Nick prepared for the wrong team.
I mean, who knew.

Not that this has anything to do with comparing the 2 teams, but: Georgia played early and was on a plane before Alabama was even out of the stadium.

But they still didn't make it home until 4:30 am. Alabama had to stay the night and didn't make it back until yesterday afternoon, 6 days until the game.

That's just a dumb.

As I already pointed out, normally teams get around 10 days for these things, give or take a day. The only reason they have 7 this year is because they want the National Championship on a Monday night in place of the NFL.

All these other reasons you guys are making up are just bullshit.

Why do people act like they can make any changes this year, or that other years even needed changes? You guys act like Saban is trying to get extra time this year - when that is literally impossible.

 

[Chewbaccer]

If I were in Saban's shoes, knowing the beat down his team is about to receive, I'd be trying to delay the inevitable for as long as possible too.

 

[uncfan103]

This isn't about the players, this is Saban wanting more time to prepare. He's a great coach, and he's even better with time to prepare. He doesn't get as much as he would like for the coaching/preparation to maximize the advantage his team has from his coaching/preparation.

 

[TexasExes98]

Why is he crying that they make the NCG every year lol. He is only saying this bc Bama has injuries, if his team was completely healthy he wouldn’t have said anything

Your talking about the same guy who was adamant about how bad HUNH offenses were bad for football b/c of "player safety". Now he's using some HUNH in his offense. Anyway, why is Saban always bitching about something? And why does he look pissed all the time? Don't get me wrong, I would take Saban as our coach in a heartbeat, but fuck's sake that guy needs to enjoy life sometime......

FYI - Pac12 coaches bitch about this same thing often, except nobody cares.

 

[TexasExes98]

As usual the resident saban cock sucker deflects. You played a night game in Texas to start the season then again that next Saturday. Didn't hear saban say "think about the players" after that. It's comical. In fact it's obvious Nick don't like back to back road games unless he has a bye week before or between them. You'll have to go back to 2010 the last time bama had back to back road games during the season without a bye before or between. Figures. How much cock suckers like you greasing those SEC officials to make sure your schedule is sweet for daddy nick?

"As usual the resident saban cock sucker deflects." Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Not to mention, UGA had to play an extra game in the SECCG, while Bama and Saban had more time to prepare for Clemson. Tell that midget to calm his tits......
