Nick Saban Didn't Predict Alabama To Make The SEC Title Game So Tyler Booker Roasted His Retired, Golfing Ass

So Nick Saban went to SEC Media Days on Monday and made his prediction for who would make the conference champonship game this season. He said it'll be Georgia vs. Texas and the whole internet's jaw dropped because he picked against his players that he coached no less than 6 months ago. Now let me be very clear, I was onto Saban from the beginning. He may have taken off his whistle but he hasn't changed who he is. This was a Grade A, Prime Example of how to fire up the Alabama players and give them a chip on their shoulder as they head into the season with (gasp) the 5th best odds to win the National Title. Oh how the mighty have fallen!

Anyways, Saban tried to fire up Alabama and fire them up he did. His one time pre-season All-American offensive line and current returning All-SEC player Tyler Johnson took the bait and then some. 

And Nick Saban smiled wider than he has in years. A proud father moment. A "they actually listened to me" realization.

"Don't let some guy who plays golf all day determine how you feel" -- what a fucking clap back. The fact of the matter is that Nick Saban sent an extra large helping of Rat Poison antidote over to the facility and the players are already taking it. The "no one believes in us" card has been thrown down and it's not even August 1st yet. This team is locked the fuck in and I may need to go sprinkle some coin on the +800 for the Tide to win the SEC. 

**Please don't ruin this and tell me that Tyler Booker was joking. It's the middle of July and all there is to talk about is the WNBA new television deal. I need Alabama players to hate Nick Saban more than I need to breathe right now.
