This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
We've got some sound to play that was pretty amusing between Cristobal and Saban. Saban questioned Cristobal at the end of that first half against Ole Miss. Cristobal had a good response. Had a good response while Saban's saying, two-minute spot like that, you've got to make sure that you get points, but don't put yourself in a position where you're giving up points. And Cristobal came right back out and went, no, coach, actually, after a minute in the game, you do try to go aggressive there with a minute left in the half. Let's play that sound for the people. Two scores by the half, no question about it. The two-minute before the half where they stole three points, where if you don't have field position, it's not like two-minute at the end of the game.
What the hell are you doing?
Come on!
We should have never let him get the ball back. All right, so. Coach, I hate to stop you, but let me correct you. As by your standards, and I'll show you your notebook if you want to, if you are under 45 seconds and at your 35, you try to pop a run or a screen, and if you do, you go. But with over a minute, especially over a minute 10, your philosophy was be aggressive and try to get points. And that's what we did. So there you go.
I need to see that.
I may have changed my philosophy.
Hey, TV's changed him, coach.
TV's changed him, coach. It used to be about physicality. Now you like trick-dick reverses and, you know, don't do that.
I saw a flea flicker last night. I saw a guard down in two, some kind of bullshit.
I've never seen it before. He also told Nick Saban to go trim his eyebrows because Mario Cristobal wants to win at football, punching you in the face.
That was a good punch-counterpunch session there. Got his ass with a flea flicker, though. I got to tell you, I think I've gotten past it, but certainly at first, I was not comfortable with how much I enjoy Saban on television. He is excellent. He is excellent.
What do you mean you're not comfortable with it?
Because I haven't liked him. You know, everything that happened with the Dolphins, and certainly you're not going to root for Big Bad Alabama. And I have not liked Saban. But he's tremendous on television, and I find he comes off very likable. I like him now.
ESPN has done an amazing job with everything that that show is. It's hard to be a vibrant Saturday thing that's better than all the other things because you figure it out with chemistry among big egos. It's one of with a lot of different personalities. It's one. It might be. I mean, in the history of sports television, our lifetimes, it's inside the NBA in this, is it not? At the top of the food chain. If I give you everything in sports content, never mind even just studio shows, I could just give you the best things that sports television does of all kinds. Make it HBO Real Sports and anything else you want to throw in there. The college game day Saturday experience, to be that relevant, reinvent itself over 20 years, be a lovable Saturday Americana thing, is the second greatest thing in the history of sports television not named the Inside the NBA show for chemistry and reinvention.
I had Reece Davis on my college football campus tour show this weekend for ESPN Radio. We were in Atlanta for Peach Bowl. And I love hearing about the travel because they did the game Thursday, that crew, at Fiesta Bowl. And then Friday, I know they were already in Atlanta. So I was talking to Reece Friday morning. And so I said to him, wait. My first question was, I got to hear about the travel. I love the travel and how you get from one place to the next. So I was like, you know, listen, I probably shouldn't be saying this, but it was a handful of us. We took Saban's Jet. We took Nick Saban's Jet Thursday right after the broadcast.
How does Nick Saban's TV presence compare to his coaching career?
So they're not staying for the game. Right as the game is starting, Saban's Jet, they're taking off. But Rhys Davis tells me, They couldn't watch the game. They couldn't watch the Fiesta Bowl. They had to keep getting updates from the tower because Saban doesn't spring for the Wi-Fi on his private jet.
