News Article: Saban's Daughter (ill-advised tweet)

[Power Eye]

Have you watched "The Last Dance"? Some players use anything - even literally manufactured outrage - to push themselves.

Acting like this can have no influence is ignoring reality. It was stupid.

Many years ago, I read where Bryan Cox would convince himself that the opposing offensive line had raped and murdered his family. He would have tears and yell “why did you do it.” I guess it worked for him since he had a pretty good career, but it would freak out the offensive linemen who weren’t familiar with his antics.

This wouldn’t give them anymore motivation than the video of Day that made its way out. So at worst it’s a wash and frankly a complete non-factor either way. It is surprising she put that out there though. She gets a lot of perks out of this deal...I assume her only real job is to not make her dad’s job anymore difficult than it already is. Hell, won’t be the last time a parent gets mad at a kid over something stupid like this...

Honestly, this scene from The Dark Knight Rises popped into my mind.

The trusting victim is wounded and incredulous.
No, Coach Saban's daughter did not intend to backstab Coach Saban, but I bet Coach Saban feels like Batman in this scene.

IMO, this is almost nothing. If you are going to use this, you've already found something else or would have. Same with CNS' #5 ranking.

This is not like Dabo's more dramatic #11 ranking and further elaboration of the reasons, and frequent references to it as though it were a cause.

I think her sentiment was shared by many people (I've read several similar comments on different platforms). the unfortunate part for her is she doesn't get to be a random fan because of who her father is. To me, its a mistake but for some reason our current culture likes to turn these things into her disrespecting everyone that has suffered from COVID. Poor judgment...yes, Fanatic making comments that cross the line...happens all the time. Her comments somehow affecting the outcome of the game....not buying it

 

[im4uainva]

Much ado about nothing more than an attempt at being a little sarcastic, or snarky. Kick her off the team!

 

[4Q Basket Case]

It is a tempest in a teapot, but she still shouldn’t have done it.

Without digging up sins of youth, she doesn’t have the strongest record of impulse control.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Big question. Was she right ?

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

If OSU has a reasonable amount of players, this bodes well for OSU. Dabo mouthing off didn't work out that well for Clemson. Meyer commented that OSU had 3 great days of practice after Dabo's shots came out. OSU players will continue their laser focus after this.

Just as Bama is laser focused on the game.......a former OSU player just added a little fuel to the fire for Bama

As an adoptive parent, I agree. In my view, nurture trumps nature.

As a 2x adoptive parent, my experience is that which is stronger depends upon both the nature and the nurturer...

Yes and Dabo continuously made donkey remark after donkey remark in a very bitter situation that had been brewing for well over a year.

Yeah she really doesn’t. It’s why I try not to retweet her even if it’s something i totally agree with.

 

[Rolltidegirl205]

I can't blame OSU if they come out with a chip on their shoulder.

People doubted them all season. I don't even see them as an underdog.

The Tide just needs to focus and be ready.

I agree, but every little thing helps.

Had Saban voted OSU 4 instead of 5 he would be saying, "Yes, this team is one of the best in the country and deserves a chance to prove it in the CFP.

By voting OSU 5 he said, "This team is not one of the best in the country and does not deserve to be in the CFP."

The spin - Day could even twist that even further into, "Saban doesn't think that we even belong in this game. Let's beat their asses and show them that we belong!"

Dabo has failed to learn that if you can’t say anything nice, just don’t say anything....... Saban is pretty complimentary of opponents, win or lose. Dabo usually isnt........ I’m sure somewhere he is running his mouth because Sunshine didn’t win the Heisman

As someone who works with young kids I appreciate those who choose to adopt. Some of the kids we see just need a loving family and it can truly change a life forever!

My oldest granddaughter is adopted. We are thankful every day for her birth Mom's decision because that little girl changed our lives. She is the sweetest and most tenderhearted soul (of course I am extremely biased).

 

[bamafan1966]

If a team has to rely on finding comments to "motivate" them to play hard and do their job for the national championship game something is missing.........

 

[B1GTide]

I feel terrible for her that she allowed this to happen to herself. If Alabama loses, a lot of Alabama fans will remember this forever.

Here's my opinion:

Firstly, I think posting on twitter about anything even remotely controversial (aka "having an opinion") is pretty stupid by everybody who has a twitter account. I don't need to know everybody's every waking thought or clueless snarky "insight" into every topic every microsecond of every day. ... and them thinking that I care about their opinions every waking moment of my life has created millions of megalomaniacs (and not just in the political world).

Secondly, if people want to post their opinions/thoughts/clueless insights that's their prerogative. This cancel culture over every freaking thing is going to be the death of us all.

Thirdly, posting bulletin board material by anyone even tangentially affiliated with UA is dumb.

Fourthly, there's this from Ryan Day back in September talking smack about Michigan : "Ohio State coach Ryan Day reportedly told his team in early August that arch-rival Michigan better hope for a mercy rule because the Buckeyes are going to “hang 100 on them."

Of course Day and his buckeyes got halfway there so sort of backed it up.

Nothing Setas said harmed anyone. How could it? IT'S A TWITTER POST FOR FREAKING SAKE! I refer you back to my post when Coach Saban got Covid about it being OK to make a joke.

We gotta stop worrying about what people post on Twitter. It's driving us - as a society - insane. Insane people make rash and illogical decisions. We don't want that.

Yes she should know better and I would never have tweeted that. But if you follow her on Twitter, she is an outspoken fan of Bama football. She tweets the same things that most fans do on Twitter. If it was anyone else other than Saban’s daughter most would have laughed and moved on. I am pretty sure I saw a lot of posts on here that said the same thing. Just silly to have such an uproar on this.
