Even if you don’t see any direct financial gain the rewards in your social life, dating life, career networking, not to mention free school is incredible.

Fantastic Take

Was that Saban, or Mike Gundy? Every word was true.

Except the part about "they're not getting paid to play here" 🙂

I love how a man, paid millions, lectures others on the true meaning of the game

MarylandFan

Maybe his success is related in part to understanding that truth

Charles Darwin

He belittles fan expectations of entitlement to "be entertained"

MarylandFan

9/30/22 10:15am

They are still people not objects. He is pushing back on the idea that they

Charles Darwin

Burrowing down that line of thinking, why are coaches compensated so much?

MarylandFan

Winning somehow manages to entertain most enough to produce those millions

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 12:33pm

I can't make sense of that. Where does money come from at losing programs?

MarylandFan

9/30/22 1:43pm

The fans he is talking about are customers not shareholders and he doesn’t care

Charles Darwin

When is criticism of a coach valid?

When they lose?

Yeah, I go to games and watch games to be entertained. If you can’t entertain

What does his paycheck have to do with it? Your bitterness is showing.

That last minute was just what this board needed.

Amen!

What this board needs is more 4 & 5 star recruits like Sabin gets

A little fan introspection really cools the fire.

College football players are there for our entertainment

Who keeps paying to watch entertainment that doesn't entertain them?

StarMan

You find blowouts to be entertaining? If entertainment is the standard shouldn't

Charles Darwin

Most BYU fans would have enjoyed a blowout last night

Most BYU fans did enjoy the game last night but the entertainment level was

Certain folks like being upset

Pounding the Aggies would have been extremely entertaining

I like watching my team score a lot of points.

If I see a blowout I never keep watching

Over the top

Cougarbart demands more mutual respect and less condescension

Charles Darwin

9/30/22 10:06am

What exactly did I “demand” in my post

cougarbart

9/30/22 10:10am

That was over the top? Any fan who gets offended by that gentle of a rebuke needs help.

So Saban is allowed to defend coaches and players but fans can’t defend

cougarbart

9/30/22 10:12am

What do fans need to defend themselves over? Saban is saying that just because a fan paid money to go to a game or

That’s fine as long as coaches and players

You don't think he knows that? He is talking about a very specific soul sucking

"these guys aren't getting paid to play here"

They are paid and it's now professional, and Saban makes millions.

I think Ron McBride said it best in a call-in show 25 years ago

This is good in theory. Truth is different. Players get paid now, and college

Are you one of those guys who feels entitled to say vile things to professional

Charles Darwin

No but what are these vile things Saban is referring to?

Can we sticky this. BYU fans are as bad as any fans out there. I guarantee Kalani wishes he could give the same message.

It's amazing to see so much hubris from grumpy CBs who think they know better
