I'll have it on because I know my son loves anything football, but I'll watch it in passing when we aren't playing. Our team plays on Saturday's, so no clue when we can come to games or if we'll be able to watch.
No. I do see bits and pieces of it every fall, usually near the end when picks are made, but not even Saban moves that needle. Maybe if they punted Desmond I'd get reeled in again.

The "Georgia Boodogs". Dude can't say bull-dogs to save his life.
Maybe if I have nothing else to do.

Nope. Glitter n lack of substance.
Plus Saturday mornings in fall. Great time to be ouutside.
I still have a difficult time thinking Nicks gonna march to espn drumbeat. The king moving to knight I could have seen Spurrier or Leach with their personalities.
But. Nick. Just another talking head!!!!!!!!
Something tells me. " dont buy in 100%"

Yes, but not because he’s on there, I usually watch it every Saturday
Yes
I gotta admit...I haven't watched it much the last few years unless it was on a day with a huge Bama game and I was curious of the opinions, and certainly when they were in Tuscaloosa.
That said, I'm watching right now. And Coach Saban is killing it. He's still Coach, and you can tell he does his homework on teams in order to be a great analyst, much like he did when coaching- preparing to be the best he can be at what he's doing.
But, he's also markedly more light-hearted. Being seated between McAfee and Herbstreit, two media figures that he's obviously liked over the years, I'm sure helps. I'm pretty sure the lighter-hearted demeanor is also a product of him being able to be a little more rested now that he's not grinding for 49 weeks a year.
Also observing that he's exponentially less "robotic" or uncomfortable like we've seen from him in commercials and media appearances before. That's obviously because of his "ID rather be studying film" than doing it before. But, again...now that he's not coaching anymore, he's able to kick back and actually enjoy this, since his focus isn't on something more important. He's smiling a lot more than we're used to seeing him.
He's clearly enjoying this new chapter in his career, and he's doing a great job.

He's still got that "side eye" look we've seen in pressers. I've seen it a few times this morning with different comments from one side of the desk.
Oh, definitely. Lol. Definitely toward the one side- that personality that, I'm not gonna name, but it rhymes with Tesmond Noward...
Me too!
