Crimson Tide. Elephants. Roll Tide. Bryant. Denny. Now, Nick Saban Field. Alabama folks just like having a smorgasbord of names and options, don’t they? Between the Auburn and Alabama programs alone there’s enough names and mascots to fill a phone book.
They’ll deem the green grass that Mr. LANK Milroe will dominate this year as “Nick Saban Field”:
Alabama will dedicate the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Saban’s honor on Sept. 7, the day of the Crimson Tide’s matchup against USF, according to a report by Tide Illustrated. The stadium will keep the same name, while the playing surface itself will now be named “Nick Saban Field” after the head coach.
So who gets the honor of being the first visiting SEC team to play upon Nick Saban Field?
Somehow, I get the feeling they’ll move the dedication to September 28th and do something to make sure Saban in on the sideline, to boot.
Will they shorten it to 80 yards to reflect nick’s stature?
A day late, but …
Post of the day!
bammer delusions are like Forest’s box of choc-co-lets
Shit happens when momma don’t know the kids diddies names. Their legends and myths spring forth while sitting around the trailer listening to maw maw telling bedtime stories such as:
“Was his name Plainsman? Maybe…. Now he was a tiger now let me tell ya… He was so drunk he said he thought he could fly. So much so at one point I remember stopping him from doin sumpin and hollered “whoa eagle!!!”
With no actual memories of the paterfamilias available you make the effort to honor the man’s bravery.
Given the way the SEC and all of CFB are selling out I expect the field will become named for a corporate sponsor. UK has Kroger don’t they ?
Kroger Field=UGA football had stolen their lunch money and left town with a “W”!…GO DAWGS!!
I don’t know: Considering we can’t find a home for the Herschel statue, won’t move an inch to help Erk get into the Hall of Fame, panic every time there’s a black jersey spotted and roll over for every “suggestion” from the conference or television partner; maybe we should look at what other schools are doing (our coach certainly looked at some things they did in Tuskerloosa when building a back-to-back championship run and beyond). Taking the high road to the bottom of a porta-potty tank ain’t quite the flex some of our fanbase/administration thinks it is…
Anyone remember Vince Dooley Field?
Rings a bell.
Understand the bammers naming issues, satan did bring some trophies to their display case (kinda’ like the sound of satan’s place), having said that, UGA is going to have those similar issues when CKS decides to throw one huge fucking crootin’ going away party…GO DAWGS!!
I still like Mark Richt Field better. Here it is in its usual capacity when the Dawgs aren’t playing:
The Dooley-Richt-Smart field.
Maybe just The University of Kirby Smart.
I think it will be Sanford- Smart stadium in about 20 years.
Will be interesting to see when Saban grabs DeBoer’s headset to take over early 3rd quarter when we go up by 24. Resulting scrum ensues. Can’t wait.
It literally took decades in Athens to rename the field for Dooley.
Michael Adams, you’re still despicable.
