Did anyone hear Sabans press conference after the game? Go to youtube 45 sec mark.

[shodog]

Wow, a real team to play after the bye. I am not sure if it has been posted. I mostly just read yalls messages. Yall are awesome. Anywho, proud of the team, proud of the coaches. As alwzys. SEMPER FI, and GBO.

We’re better than LSU tho

 

[bamawriter]

Given what he said throughout, I don't think he's implying that UT is not a "real team." I think he's saying that the players can't look at LSU's results and think it's going to be an easy game.

 

[feathersax]

What did he mean by "We're gonna play a REAL team in a couple of weeks.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Based off his behavior during the game last night, I would say he knew they were up against a real team.

 

[Voltopia]

Until Tennessee beats Alabama there's never going to be any respect. Saban knows what he's saying. Gotta give the home crowd some red meat.

I love it when the veins pop out of his head on the sidelines. I counted at least 3 times. I guess a real team gets over 5 of those , huh?

Wee Little Nicky was play acting for the home crowd.
At no point did he have doubts about the outcome.
A 28 point beatdown does not happen to real good teams.

Don't think he meant disrespect. He punished his team this week for overlooking us and mentioned we very well could have been a 6-1 team when headed to Bryant-Denny

That 28 point margin don't tell the whole story

You’re correct. It’s not Nick Saban’s nature to put down ANY team. He just doesn’t do it.

 

[midnight orange]

If I had to guess I would think that by “real team” he meant a conference team and not a directional school.

The only story that counts is the scoreboard at the final whistle.

A loss is a loss. We went down swinging

This is true.. They'll only remember the score.. Not the fact Tennessee pushed the game into the 4th quarter before wilting..

Agreed. He's just saying don't get cocky and look past LSU because of their record. He even goes on to say he has great respect for the QB, coach and out team
Nothing really to see here

 

[wmcovol]

Save the little guys comments for next year.

Never expect him to give respect to Tennessee after the game. Move on.

Thank you sir.

Absolutely correct.

Don't think they overlooked us, we just competed

I wouldn't want to be his DC after this game.

Glass half full or glass half empty. To each to decide how they view it.

Well, this is embarrassing. That’s my nickname for…well you know.

Saban doesn't throw shots like Spurrier. Pretty easy to tell he was talking about not overlooking LSU.
