rofl when asked about favorite song Miles: I love Lil Wayne, I've listened to him a bunch most recently. I like Akon. I've really kind of got away from hip-hop, and I listen to country. I listen to Kenny Chesney pretty routinely. I enjoy a variety of music, it's not just one guy. There for a while, I was all over Toby Keith. I kind of move with what's going on. oh my
Yeah he's been being more of a smart ass lately. And another gem from Miles in that article: "I fight for unique and accurate ways to be descriptive"
Saban on a memorable post-game handshake: The first year I was a head coach at Michigan State, the first game we played was against Nebraska when Tom Osborne was the coach. Here, I'd been in the NFL for the four, five, six years, I can't remember exactly how long. Here we play Nebraska, who goes on to win the national championship. I mean they've got a really good team. And we're playing at Michigan State. I'm looking at this like Nebraska's just like anybody else, because I don't know that they're that much better than everybody. I've been coaching in the NFL for a long time. And they beat us like 55-14. I mean, it was unbelievable. Physically, emotionally and everything else. Tom Osborne comes across the field and we shake at the end of the game, and he puts his arm around me and says, "You're not as bad as you think." And I didn't really know what he meant by that. Really what he meant was, "We've got a really, really good team here. So when you play somebody your own size, you'll be fine." And he was right. We went on to win six games, beat Michigan that year, went to a bowl game. For a first year starting a program, we didn't have a bad team. But it sure seemed like it that day
Absolutely fantastic story. Don’t know what I love more; the fact he is surprised a 19 year old turned down a beer at 10 am, or that The OBC kept a beer stocked fridge in his office. He is so fuckin Gainesville.
Judging by the quote he acknowledges he lost to Georgia, he’s saying he would have lost a lot more had talking mattered HTH
Pretty sure Spurrier beat UGA in the 00's and 10's, but I understand not remembering college football existed between 1980 and 2017.
Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried are the soundtrack of my childhood--there has never been a better booth pairing. "Has five, has ten..." Such good stuff.
