Saban Whining Again

Saban calls out Tide students for not showing up

Maybe instead of crying about attendance he should stop scheduling clown teams like Louisiana Lafayette and then fans might want to show up.

it may seem like whining but he is just scraping the bottom of the barrel to motivate....nothing to see here move along.

The problem is how they distribute student tix

Just give a seat to people who show for non-big games in a first come, first serve manner

Does Bama play any OOC P5 opponents at home?

meh, they got a few options.

1. Come up with a way to make it easy for people to trade/resell tickets to games they aren't going to attend.

2. Schedule better opponents.

3. Leave Tua in for 4 quarters.

I agree with some of his points. The players do work hard and are among the best at what they do. They do deserve support. The games are the only real way for the students to support the team as a whole.
Now he could easily throw his 1's on the field the entire game and score at will, running up the score for gaudy stats, but thats not helping younger players get playing time. That is what some of these games are for. The students get to see a great team play. I remember when that wasnt so. Spoiled is a good word to use.

Not in awhile apparently Saban likes neutral site games so he can recruit kids from other states.

It dates back to Rome. Romans loved to watch weak Christians thrown to their beloved lions. They cheered and reveled in it.

They were not willing to risk having to watch a real strong Christian come in and kill their beloved lions.

Hey Nick.
This happens at every single venue that has a shitty team playing.

The stands start to empty in the 3rd.
Nothing new.
It's been going on since the beginning of time.

Quit being a little man bitch.
People will decide on their own what is best.

Hell, last Saturday 1/2 the Texas Tech fans left in the 3rd quarter (down 35-10) and missed the only good football the Red Faders played all day long. Pendejos.

What else is he going to complain about? We haven’t scored 100 points in a game yet? God damn Tua hasn’t thrown an interception yet, so he has no idea if his offense can tackle?

The struggle is real in Alabama.

JohnShadows · Oct 4, 2018

This is a trend that's going to affect all sports. The Gen Z'ers have less patience, and a lot of other ways to spend their time. Younger millenials, too. I get why Saban worries about this for recruiting reasons. But at the end of the day, they're playing a lower-tier opponent, and he's upset because these students won't spend their Saturday doing something they don't want to do.

And this was in the article:

As AL.com noted, the Louisiana-Lafayette game had an early kickoff at 11 a.m. CT Saturday on parents weekend on the Tuscaloosa campus.

So a lot of them were spending time with their parents. #priorities

Right, when you ask the media to write stuff to get your team motivated there isn't much left
