"Negative things have not really been good. I'd like to see our fans show class."
When asked what he would tell the bammer in the lobby wearing a "I Hate Auburn" T-shirt:
"I would tell him 'it's not personal.' It's really not personall. That's not the way we should respect the opponents we have. We can all be a little more respectful."
:haha:
Who thinks the guy committed Hari Kari immediately after that quote?

Jon Solomon reports:
"I hate Auburn" T-shirt guy on Saban saying don't make it personal: "It's like I went to church and God told me He didn't approve."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

"Don't you know how much I hate these fucking guys?" - Nick Saban, 2008
-
Full quote:
Q. Nick, when you walked in the lobby today, there was an Alabama fan wearing an 'I hate Auburn T-shirt.' What would you tell that person?
Saban: I would tell him it's not personal, that it really isn't personal. That is not really the way that we should respect the opponents that we have. That's what I was talking about before in terms of all of our fans sort of having a level and a standard of class in terms of how we represent our institution and our state. I think we all have a responsibility and obligation toward that. I think we can all be a little more respectful to each other and still have just as fierce competition on the field as we've ever had, and everybody can be very proudful in whatever their accomplishments are. I guess that's kind of how I would say it.
But, you know, this kind of behavior sort of develops more of that kind of behavior. I don't think that's a good thing, so...

Of course, he is a fat fucking Bama fan with an even fatter wife. I would bet you a large some of money he never attended class at the University of Alabama.

This is what is so STOOPIED about their inbred-cousin fucking nation. Instead of supporting a school he most likely never went too, (may have worked there mopping floors and picking up trash)
He chooses to show how much he hates us. Whether they like it or not this represents them. Too a tee.
I do not nor will I ever wear anything that has them on it. No house divided bull shit-No, my friend went to turdville and is now getting ass fucked in prison.
If a wal-mart blows up in Tuscaloosa, Does anyone care?

To be fair I did buy a shirt from the LaMonroe online store that just said in plain white letters:
ULM: 21
Bama: 14
I ended up literally selling it off my back to a guy at a bar that wouldn't leave me alone until he could buy it off me.

How much?

How much?
$40. I think I paid $20 or less for it. And I was wearing it right after we had beaten LaMonroe the following year. The joke was stale by then, so I had gotten my full use out of it.

The "I Hate Auburn" guy is about to be an Alabama beat writer according to himself.
Blackerby blogs on something called Saban Sidewalk. He says he's about to line up a gig as an Alabama feature writer for a new website.
"I guess I'm about to go to games and write like you guys," Blackerby said.

They forgot "unemployed". Or midnight shift at the DQ
Auburn fans can't show up in fucking droves like that because they have somewhere to be from 8-5 on a weekday. Shocker.

I'm not so sure. I think our fanbase just has alot of people like you in it, and in your fanbase, you're more of the exception instead of the rule.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - I'll take authors of famous phrases in Alabama football history for $500, Alex.
OK. The answer is, "Don't you know how much I hate these, um, guys?"
Contestant No. 1: "Who is Harvey Updyke at Toomer's Corner?" No.
Contestant No. 2: "Who is Eric Blackerby at the Wynfrey Hotel?" Sorry.
Contestant No. 3: "Who is Nick Saban on the Bryant-Denny Stadium sideline during the 2008 Iron Bowl?"
Correct. Not that there's anything wrong with that. No, seriously. It's as elementary as Sesame Street.
One of those three is not like the other. One of those three doesn't belong as we either rebuild what should be the greatest rivalry in college football or let it continue to become the worst.
Sorry, but they're not all links in a chain.
One of those three individuals mentioned above, allegedly, committed an actual crime. When Updyke poisoned the trees at Toomer's Corner, allegedly, he didn't take part in the rivalry. He tried to take it apart by trying to destroy one of the schools' most important symbols.
The other two people, who got most of the ink Friday at SEC Media Days, were guilty of something that was less than a crime, less than a sin and a more than necessary part of any epic rivalry. In different ways, Blackerby and Saban committed nothing more than clean, old-fashioned hate.
I know. Hate's a terrible thing. We're supposed to hate hate, if that's even possible. We're supposed to keep it on the field, to knock each other down and pick each other up, in a sporting way, and not confuse life and death with winning and losing.
You know, the way a lot of Alabama fans actually did after Updyke poisoned the two Toomer's trees, allegedly, and the way a lot of Auburn fans actually did after the April tornadoes ripped through the heart of Tuscaloosa.
When it really mattered, the color of people's shakers didn't matter.
The real trouble starts when people who aren't willing or able to put aside their differences won't or don't, when fans of one school wage an endless, blistering multimedia campaign to get their rival busted and fans of the other school start to respond in kind.
Blackerby, the now-infamous Alabama fan who wore the "I Hate Auburn" T-shirt Friday to the Wynfrey, doesn't seem like one of those fringe lunatics in person. I spoke to him before and after Saban was asked about his T-shirt, before and after he met Saban in the lobby.
I asked Blackerby what's become a defining question for Alabama fans in the wake of Auburn's 2010 BCS championship and the Cam Newton recruiting questions that, fairly or not, continue to shadow it. Would he rather see Alabama win this season's title or watch Auburn lose last year's?
Blackerby didn't blink, hesitate or stare at the floor. He didn't act one way and answer another. He said he doesn't care what happens to Auburn's 2010 championship. He's too busy looking forward to Alabama's 2011 title.
Was he being honest? He may have been the most honest person in the building Friday, perhaps more than Saban when the coach was asked in the big print media room upstairs about the T-shirt heard 'round the world.
"That is not really the way that we should respect the opponents that we have," Saban said.
True, in a perfect world, but having respect for an opponent and disliking that opponent intensely are not mutually exclusive. Saban demonstrated that, as picked up by CBS microphones, when he tried to keep his players whipped into a frenzy during the 36-0 beatdown of Auburn in the 2008 Iron Bowl.
Can't have it both ways, coach.
As the most divisive off-season in the rivalry's history winds down, it's almost football season again. It'll be a shame if the harmful kind of bitterness that's out there now continues.
And if the harmless kind doesn't.
Can we have it both ways? Can this rivalry be saved?

Keep trying updyke, you'll eventually get...maybe.
