Nick Saban calls 2014 Alabama one of the most 'pleasurable' teams he's ever coached

"This is going to be a truth about this team regardless of what happens the rest of the season," Saban said. "This has been one of the most pleasurable teams we've had to coach."

...
Alabama's players didn't want to see T.J. Yeldon blamed for the loss because of his fourth-quarter fumble, Saban said. It served as the inspiration behind Alabama's game-tying drive with 50 seconds to play in regulation and its game-winning touchdown in overtime.

"That was a huge motivation for our players," Saban said. "That speaks a lot of the team chemistry and how the players work through that with each other and sort of have each other's back."

...
"We haven't always been the most consistent group in how we perform but they're still a really good group to coach," Saban said. "They all want to do well and they're very respectful. I think that team chemistry has really helped this team do as well as they have to this point and hopefully it carries through beyond this."

I like what Coach says here. If young men are that pleasurable to coach then imagine what a young group like this is going to do with all of them growing together. Whew! Next year it will be between lsu and us who wins it all. Yes, I said it first right here. Now back to 2014 and this game is going to be a hard fought game than lsu I believe. RTR!

Hey, Preacher, remember the last time the cow bells came to Tuscaloosa: undefeated at 7-0 and Bama knocked them off 38-7.

You know what Old Tider I am glad you brought this one up for me, because I can't remember it. It will give me a chance to do some reviewing. I kind of find a laugh out of this for one thing, they, MSU have worked hard to get where they are and they will lose a lot of god players. Next year we go there and our players will be monsters from their growth. lol, How funny the ball does bounce in college football. RTR!

I didn't particularly recall it either. I read it yesterday in the Jackson, Mississippi, paper, where they were bemoaning the fact that Bama holds an all-time 76-22 record against them. But I do remember MSU beating us 6-3 in 1980 when Bear's team was number 1.

A lot of people were predicting 2-4 losses for Bama this year. It is still possible to lose one or two more, but not likely at this point.  Another great job by the coaching staff and players.
