He's been ridiculed for doing 12-1 while getting his shit kicked in.
What, pray tell, has he won? Extolling his winning record against a watered down schedule is like saying I can do a 360 dunk when I lower the rim to 8 feet.
A crappy and commercialized product built to win games against bad teams and then talk about how great we are at knowing how to win. And we are supposed to believe this. It is all manufactured smoke and mirrors.
Ole Miss wasn’t a sellout last week, and Saban has been complaining about lackluster student section attendance since before the pandemic. And that’s with a top tier team.
Attendance to CFB is down in general, as the home viewing experience provides better bang for the buck.
Saban mentioned the student section when his juggernaut of a team played the bottom-feeders of Louisiana-Lafayette and New Mexico State.
Teams also played in recent years includ Arkansas State, Western Kentucky, Mercer, and the Citadel. I think those are all FBS schools, with the exception of LL, though I could be wrong.
If it’s hot and humid those aren’t exactly thrilling to stand and watch a non-contest.
UT-Ole Miss was a very crazy crowd and was louder and more raucous than most sold-out stadia, including during TV timeouts.
Our place was pretty rocking for Clemson last year.
