The article isn't up on SN's website yet, but this is from an al.com blog from the interview.

Quote

SN: What's bigger: Alabama-Auburn in November or Alabama-Florida in December?

SABAN: ... When it comes to bragging rights, the Auburn is a big game for our fans and supporters because it's an in-state rivalry. Florida has become a little bit of a target in terms of everybody would love to have the opportunity to beat them. So I don't know how I could (say) which one is more important than the other.

SN: It seems a more P.R.-minded Alabama coach might have to pretend sometimes that the Auburn game is bigger than all the others - no matter what.

SABAN: But I think it is bigger for the fans.

SN: But not for you?

SABAN: If it is for the fans, it is for me, all right? It's just hard for me to - and it's no disrespect to Auburn, but it's important that everyone in the program thinks that every game we play is important. ...

Aaight?

How could you expect a coach that lost to Louisiana Monroe to talk about one game being more important than the other. I get where the interviewer was going but he's not gonna get it from Saban.

That Georgia State game seems to be Extremely important...something that Coach little bitch has been, well, bitching about for the last couple months.

Honestly, and I'm being serious here, I'm not worried about the Georgia State game but I'm inclined to be a lot more concerned about it than I am the Auburn game. I could see Saban running up the score next year against Auburn in Bryant Denny, perhaps in the 36 point range. He has a habit of doing that against Auburn in T-town.

Bammer logic...

After their first Iron Bowl win in 7 years, it was a "streak" and a "trend"...

What is this 36 of which he speaks? It could be significant but through counseling and daily medication, I've been able to block certain things from my memory, such as the entire 2008 Auburn Football season.

The 3-2 AU/MSU game was a classic!..............sorry you can't remember it................

By the way, who is your counselor and what medication are you using.....I could use some assistance.

I can't remember the counselors name. The meds come from a guy named Guido.

You are a little off your game on this one. I expect better of you.
