There’s no need to tell you that the Alabama Crimson Tide are playing great football — and one of the best ways to tell that coach Nick Saban knows it as well?
He uttered those two familiar words: “Rat poison.”
It was two years ago when these words went viral, as Saban attempted to squelch the rave reviews about his players that were coming from the media.
His message?
If his players kept hearing that they were great, they’d believe it — and those words could act as rat poison to his team.
A few days ago, Saban brought up the words again, this time after his team beat the Aggies 47-28.
What does this all mean? Allow me to explain as I’m coming in hot, giving you my take!
