I think that was just a fast moving funeral procession--for Alabama's football program...
And just think: Bear Bryant had to drive himself home after boozing it up each night in his Tuscaloosa watering holes...
Don't think he was out-motorcading the Pope, Kev. Not until they put a glass cage on the back of that GMC so Saban can stand up and wave to the faithful...
Yea, Tuberville better go ahead and get out of the state of Alabama. Tuesday night after he spoke to us Auburn folk here in Atlanta, I saw him get into his sports ute--into the driver's seat! We don't have a chance against Saban this year...

I heard UGA football players get their own golf carts to drive around campus. That is even more ridiculous.

A lot of our players drove golf carts around campus. I guess I just assumed that was common place.

I come from a smaller school so maybe it so more common place than I imagine.
To all: Anyone other schools/teams that do this?
Clemson_Joe

My school has a "walking campus", so driving cars was strongly discouraged and very difficult. So, golf carts, mopeds, bicycles, etc. were fairly common. Although, I'm not sure that UGA would classify as a walking campus.

That's absolutely absurd. Is he afraid of an enemy ambush or something? What is the point?

Hey, he is Nick Saban, he needs his attention. When they stop treating him like God, he'll be up and gone before you know it

Seriously, though. Look at the trees. It's in the fall. This video was taken on a Saturday when Saban was heading towards the stadium. Probably for the Louisiana-Monroe game...

Dude, even EDSBS did a retraction on this YESTERDAY. This is the motorcade to the athletic department the day that he arrived in January 2007. He now has his own Mercedes that he drives to campus (with his own parking space, of course).
Also, the motorcade is headed away from the stadium, doesn't contain Saban's own car, and isn't coming from Saban's neighborhood, which isn't in that direction. Nice try, guys.

By having a motorcade pick him up at the airport? Idiot....

That was from the day he landed in Tuscaloosa coming to the Football Complex from the Airport in January 2007. Saban doesn't have a police escort around town except on gamedays.

As we suspected, this is not the daily occurance motorcade, nor is it the "Hey, honey, I'm headed out to the store to pick up some spotted dick & pickled pigs feet" motorcade.
Alas, it is the "Hey, everybody! We just hired Nick Saban" motorcade from Slick Nick's arrival in T-town.

I was about to say......If them cops in Alabama wasted that much manpower on a freaking motorcade, and it isn't the president or governor theres something seriously wrong there.

Trust me, if he pulls off some big wins and equally big seasons over the next 3-5 years, plus another NC, Bama fans will be pushing him to run for President. OOPS!!! That won't work. Then, they'd have to find another coach. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Well, what did yawl expect for hiring the 2nd coming, not to mention the $4 M salary, golf carts??? I'm just amazed they didn't paint crimson, the route from where he stepped off the plane to where he finally stepped out of the car. I mean, if $4 M/yr don't rate ya the red-carpet treatment, what on earth does it take to get it? God bless him, is all I got to say. God bless him and all Bama fans.

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, NUTTIN BUT JEALOUSY. WHY EVEN COMMENT ON THIS? JUST BE SATISFIED KNOWING BAMA'S BEEN IN A SLUMP, AND MIDDLE OF THE PACK SEC RIGHT NOW(even though last years biggest deficit was 7 points). AND DID I SEE A LONGHORN, WTF!!!!LSU, YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, YOU'LL SOON BE BACK TO MEDIOCRITY, THERE'S NO WAY THAT LUCK GARBAGE CAN GO ON.

SEC fans know that I ruled University Blvd and now Nick wants to Roll on my turf. First let me get you up to speed. That video was taken on a stretch on U Blvc between Denny Chimes and the President's Mansion along an area known as the Quad. Most of you can't hold our jockstraps when it comes to the campus so Eat Your Heart Out. When I was playing for the Tide I roomed just north of where that video was shot and it is all sacred ground. When The HC of Alabama makes a move it is big because we are the number one football program in the country. NUMBER ONE. I still do a little checking and I haven't found a coach yet that call his program a DYNASTY. Suck it up losers..........

The fact he says "where's he's going" makes me think this ain't an everyday occurence...my guess is this first day...look at the sky....its winter....when he was hired...

The reason that they needed the police escort is that he was being chased by Collette Connelle from the airport...
