Well-known Nick Saban hater Daniel Tosh took his latest, subtlest stab at the man who left Tosh’s beloved Miami Dolphin’s in the lurch four years ago (by “not going to be the Alabama coach“), and whom Tosh regularly refers to as “an awful person,” by offering a “War Eagle” to this manic multi-sneezer on Tuesday night’s episode of Tosh.0.
In a February episode, Tosh was shown hurling a two-handed broad sword through the head of a Saban Fathead wall decal.
When asked his motives by a fan via Twitter, Tosh replied: “Saban deserved it.”
Well, the 2010 season is in the books. And, thankfully, it’s in some nice books, and magazines that will adorn our coffee tables for some time to come.
In the coming weeks, I will try to give some insight in to what is returning to the gridiron for the Auburn Tigers in 2011. I’m going to break it down unit by unit, and start with what I think was the true catalyst for the 2010 season. No, not quarterback, but offensive line. Cam, by any standards, was great. Players like that elevate mediocre teams to good, and good teams to greatness. To all the detractors that say this was a one man team in Cam Newton: You don’t have a friggin’ clue what you’re talking about, and such statements evidence a great lack of football savvy, or it may be evidence that you’re simply a jealous Alabama, LSU, or Georgia fan grasping at anything to try to make you feel better.
The last 2 games we’ve spotted opponents 3 TD leads. The logical thing to do with such a lead, is to go a little more conservative in play calling, run the ball, and run the clock. Granted, if it’s still in the first half, you got to run your offense, but no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you’re going to err on the side of conservative play calling. That’s the rub…you can’t run the ball on Auburn, and before you know it…you’re in 3rd and long, and predictable situations. So fucking what we give up yards and points through the air? No coach in this league has the guts to keep slinging the ball up by 21 or more, and it’s not really the recommended way to go. But, our offense is 3 possessions, and just a few minutes of clock from catching your ass if you don’t move the chains.
