Around the SEC: Alabama’s Nick Saban sounds off on fans, rivalry upsets brewing
ATHENS — Alabama rolls into Auburn looking for its first win in Jordan-Hare Stadium since 2015, having dropped its most recent two road trips on The Plains.

I suppose it would be the acme of foolishness to wonder who Pat Nix is?
It is always a plus when every team you play brings their best, iron sharpens iron never gets old. Bring the tenacity Go Dawgs.😎
It's probably from his middle name...
The article's not wrong. The Plainsmen/Eagle/Tigers are missing their starting QB Pat Nix.
Go, Dawgs!
I totally agree with Nick's "rant" and have been guilty myself of expecting most of our games against inferior SEC opponents to all be blowouts. He's just calling out the fan base, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Everyone is on Mikes case, he probably was dozing off from post thanksgiving meals and simply just didn’t catch his mistake, he always proof reads his work. Am I right? Lol
Sorry, but Saban owes an apology to the students and supporters of Alabama. Painting the entire fan base as he did shows a lack of awareness. Those supporters, boosters, and students are the reason you are being paid as you are and are the ones providing the facilities you use. And to confuse the “sacrifices” his players make with the challenges many students go through just to attend college is completely tone deaf. Show me the player on his roster working two jobs just to pay tuition.
Oh shut up, Nick. We’re tired of your little lectures.
@My_Dawg_Ryan I think this means I'm officially a veteran beat writer --- I covered Auburn when Pat Nix was the QB, haha!
Thanks for the catch!
