Our crimson-hatted friends at Rivals have unveiled a wondrous set of photos of Alabama’s new Nick Saban statue, set to be introduced to the public at the Crimson Tide’s A-Day spring game on April 16. We have some thoughts. Specifically, we have some thoughts about this slide:
We Need To Talk About The Nick Saban Statue
• Does this seem a bit hippy for a grown man? It’s not. If you’ve never seen Coach Saban in person, he’s not thick, but in terms of silhouette he could easily fill out a swanky cocktail dress. We mean this. The man might have been Jennifer Connelly’s body double in The Rocketeer.
• What happens to this thing in the event of, like, a nine-win season? Are there provisions for its seclusion or destruction?
• Very gracious of them to make it larger than actual size, because who wants a Nick Saban garden gnome? (Besides everybody.)
