A few gems from the Mad Hatter today...

"We had a nice open week, but it created great anxiety. As a coach when you sit there and watch a football Saturday, and you don't have a game to play, you wonder where you are at."

"Defensively we are coming off an unusual week. After we prepared for a guy like Cam Newton I think we are looking forward to I-back runs..."

On the team mentality coming off a loss...
"I don't know if we do anything well. I think our football team has character. I think those teams that lose games back-to-back routinely don't necessarily have the pain in the pit of their stomach that this team will have... I don't know that we do anything as a coaching staff very special in any way."

On if he is disappointed in the blocking of the wide receivers...

"I guess what I'm saying is I'm in the key piece of my season where the big plays have yet to have been made. As I go into the next game, I look for those plays to be more important than anything that we've done in the past, and to say that I have any opinion to this point that would be finite would not."
I look forward to Bama being in the I-formation a lot too, Les. On the rare occasions that we run it, it usually means goal line situations.

the only thing missing from this is the inflection he uses in really weird places, that make the whole thing even more confusing.

Funny you said that because I was trying to visualize where those inflections would be had I been listening to what he was saying rather than reading it. I agree his tone and inflections really add to the wackiness of the content. :)

Here is what happens after les talks to his players...

His assistants gather all the players around and tell em "Listen your coach is plum mad and if you dont get out there and bust your butt he will eat you"

I think he means big plays assisted by receivers blocking downfield will be very important, but he won't say anything more definite about that.

Naw, naw, naw, bro -- this is art that was never meant to be defined. (takes a drag from a doobie)
