One of the down sides of watching a slew of college football bowl games is that one has to endure the same ads over and over and over…….. This holiday season, said repetitions have had a definite Alabama tilt.  Nick Saban is the B&B host from hell.  Another goofus, wearing an Alabama hat, keeps chanting “High Tide” numerous times before being corrected.

After Alabama’s desultory 19-13 loss to Michigan, Kalen DeBoer was being skewered.  Cannot be fun to be compared to the GOAT!  The Mouth of the South, Paul Finebaum, pointed out that Alabama was upset in 3 games where the Tide were double-digit favorites (23 points at Vandy, 14 points at Oklahoma and 16.5 points versus Michigan) whereas the immortal Saban only suffered one double-digit upset during his 17-year run.

DeBoer was a helluva coach at Washington but his Alabama tenure may again prove the following adage:  Do not follow a legend.
