A week after Nick Satan bolted South Florida faster than Hurricane Wilma did to become the new Head Coach of The University of Alabama, he’s already making his presence felt in a financial way. Isn’t that so thoughtful of him and his wife, Terry…Giving back to the university so quickly! I’m just glad they could find some spare change in that new 32-million dollar contract of theirs! I sure hope they don’t miss that $100,000 too much…You never know, if this gets to be old hat, why they may have to apply for food stamps.
I’m sure people will look at this as a warm, kind gesture and not read between the lines here and brush it off as such…But this is me, the goofball in the LastRow…I’m not Jay-Z, never have sat courtside! Saban presented the cheddar during an introduction to Crimson Tide fans at halftime of the basketball team's game against LSU. Any coincidence that it just happened to be during the LSU game? About as much as Saint Nick had no interest in the job in the first place. Be that as it may, he got loud applause when he took a seat near the LSU bench with 3:52 left in the first half and a 30-second standing ovation when he walked onto the court with athletic director Mal Moore and university President Robert Witt. Of course he did…Why the hell wouldn’t he? He’s been around football quite a while…He knows what to say, how to say it, and when to say it! He’s no dummy! Saying shit like, "I can't tell you how pleased, proud and excited we are at being your coach at Alabama," he told the sellout crowd. Then, he urged the fans to take "ownership" of the program. "Let's all work together to make a difference and show them what we've got, baby," he said. "Let's go."
See, this is where the ability to read between the lines comes into play! Here’s a man who’s trying to deflect all the pressure that he’s signed up for, to put it back on the supporters of Alabama Football almost before the ink has dried on his contract by playing to the fans and trying to get in good with them. Why, because he knows in the back of his melon that the expectations of Alabama fans are extremely too high! Whether they want to realize this or not, deep down Nick knows more likely than not those expectations can be reached! Now will he say that, hell no….Instead he played to the fans again by saying his goals are even higher than the fans. While that may be, let’s cut the coach talk shit here…Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes! I know you’ve coached in the SEC before, but don’t kid yourself Nick…While at LSU, you were IT! There was nobody else…There was no Auburn to compete with! You know damn well this will be harder to will here than LSU…Almost darn right impossible to meet all those lofty expectations! It’s one day chicken and the next day feathers in Tuscaloosa…Just ask Mike Shula about that and he was even one of their own.
While you may have donated a $100,000 check Tuesday night to Alabama's scholarship fund for students who are the first in their family to attend college. All it really was just a small price to pay to suck up, brown nose and pull the wool over the eyes of the Crimson Tide faithful…Although it won’t take long for them to figure out what you really are. And that’s nothing more than a two-faced liar who has the great ability to talk out both sides of his mouth! Alabama, enjoy your new Satan, because he is want you guys wanted all along!
