Nick Saban Hates the Media: You darned media members in Alabama have to speculate on the depth chart, don't you? "Alabama coach Nick Saban continued an annual tradition Tuesday, scolding reporters for 'speculating' on the Crimson Tide's eventual starting lineup based on rotations in practice. 'We let you come to practice. If you're going to speculate on the depth chart and who's starting at what positions ... then I'm going to close practice -- for everybody. So nobody's going to get to come at all.'" Boy are we praying Virgina Tech hammers the Tide on Sept. 5. The problem is, we felt this way about Clemson last year in its season opener, and Alabama rolled. [Press Register] (31)

How dare someone from the press speculate on the depth chart.  Don't they know what kind of irreparable damage can be done by that kind of wild, out of control...um...specualtion?

They probably had to cancel 2-3 practices until all that wild speculation...over the depth chart...died down. Thank gawd Coach Nick has everything under control and his players best interests at heart.  Protecting them from all that...speculating...is one hell of a tough job.

With only 71 scholarship players, Auburn fans couldn't possibly fathom how important of a job it is to control wild speculations on subjects such as depth charts, or the level of irreparable damage such speculations could cause.

Decent jab, but terrible point.

Coach midget also said that one of the players came to him and asked him why the paper was stating that another player was starting in his position....Yeah right, I'm really sure a player went to him complaining about what the paper was saying.  I'm going to go ahead and call Shenanigans on that statement from the midget.
