In a stunning display of coachy concern, Nick Saban—whose résumé includes enough championships to paper a football stadium—stepped up to remind the college football world that Georgia isn’t a participation trophy you can toss in the bargain bin. At his recent press conference (where he normally corrects referees telepathically), Saban channeled his inner hall monitor to scold opposing teams for writing off the Bulldogs faster than you can say “underdog upset.”
“Just because they haven’t lost yet doesn’t mean they’re on life support,” he warned, wagging a finger more sharply than a GPS recalculating your entire road trip. He lamented that rivals keep penciling in easy victories, as if Georgia’s offense is made of bubble wrap and marshmallows.
Of course, this is the same coach who once turned a talent pipeline into a trophy pipeline, so when he says “don’t count them out,” the entire SEC better take note—preferably in pen and boldface. After all, overlooking a team with a pair of back-to-back championships might be the most embarrassing penalty flag in sports history.
