</div> <div class="m-entry__body"> <p><b>Agita.</b> Nick Saban press conferences sizzle with the real possibility that someone could, in a single instant of miscalculated verbiage, set him off, and thus kill or injure the assembled media taking terrified dictation. A young reporter very nearly died Saturday night. This is his story.</p> <blockquote> <p>Reporter: You had several new guys in there tonight. Can you talk a little bit about how they played?</p> <p>Saban: New guys where? We had 'em all over the place.</p> <p><i>[Nervous laughter.]</i></p> <p>Reporter: Can you talk about how they did?</p> <p><i>[Photographer in front of me grabs flak jacket, helmet. He's a veteran.] </i></p> <p>Saban: Could you, like, be more specific?</p> <p><i>[Entire room hits floor, texts loved ones goodbye. Some make love with strangers to feel pleasure one last time.]</i></p> <p>Saban: If I started to go through every young guy that played tonight, well ... everybody'd leave. Who do you wanna know about? I'll talk about anybody you wanna talk about.</p> <p><i>[I peek out cautiously from the tipped edge of a combat helmet.]</i></p> <p>Reporter: How about the offensive line?</p> <p>Saban: We've been talking about the offensive line, and we need to improve in the offensive line.</p> <p><i>[Exhalations. A few tearful embraces. Someone holds up an American flag.]</i></p> </blockquote> <p>And then, in a moment after his team won by 25 points against a malicious Virginia Tech defense in a game that was never really in doubt after the second quarter, I realized not just that we were not going to die that day. I realized that Nick Saban <i>was coaching up a reporter</i>. The Process never stops. It sometimes continues deep into the postgame press conference.</p> <p><b>Butt-Out</b>. The fun part about having football spread across five days of an opening weekend is you get to watch a bit of everything. The bad part is that you find yourself watching teams like Michigan State, the grisly, simple, and effective hunting tool of college football teams you'd rather not see in action. Yes, they won 26-13. No, you did not need to see it, save for this, the venison steak we pulled out of the horrible deer carcass for you.</p> <p><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441im_/http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/3133037/chaospicksix_medium.gif"></p> <p>Sparty hates offense so much they subcontract half of it to their defense. It ain't pretty, but you think steaks grow on trees in plastic wrap and styrofoam trays, kid? Someone's got to turn a carcass into meat, and it's gonna be Mark Dantonio.</p> <p>(P.S. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441/http://i.minus.com/iR8O1Cod3dDeY.gif" target="_blank">Pretty things do sometimes happen in Michigan State football games,</a> though probably entirely by accident.)</p> <p><b>Clemson.</b></p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441/http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1784423/20130831_mjm_ak7_260.jpg"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441im_/http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1784423/20130831_mjm_ak7_260.jpg" class="photo" alt="20130831_mjm_ak7_260_medium"></a></p> <p>LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING JEANNINE. FIRST OF ALL, CLEMSON DIDN'T RUSH THE FIELD. CLEMSON'S FIELD IS OPEN AFTER GAMES. IT'S GREAT. KIDS GET TO HOLLER AND RUN AROUND AND PRETEND THEY ARE ON THE FIELD SCORIN' POINTS JUST LIKE WE DID AGAINST GEORGIA. YOU CAIN'T GET MAD ABOUT US RUSHIN' THE FIELD BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER SCHOOLS WE DON'T LOOSE POLICE DOGS ON YA IF YOU WANNA GET YOUR TOES A LITTLE CLEMSON FESCUE MASSAGE. WE'RE COOL LIKE THAT.</p> <p>SECOND: YES I WAS PREPARED TO TELL YOU THAT WE DONE BEAT OUR SECOND SEC SCHOOL IN A ROW. THANK ABOUT THAT: WE GOT LSU LAST YEAR AFTER WE RUN A HUNNERD DAMN PLAYS ON 'EM, AND NOW TOOK DOWN THE SEC EAST CHAMPS IN A BACKWOODS FISH SHACK BRAWL OF A GAME WHERE OUR QUARTERBACK HAD TA DRIVE THE FIELD TO WIN. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID. THERE'S FILM OF IT AND URRTHANG.</p> <p>THIRD: I KNOW WE GOT OUR OWN SYNDROME. AND NEXT WEEK WE MIGHT HAVE THAT SYNDROME BACK, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW LIFE WORKS: IT'S UNPREDICTABLE, AND SOMETIMES YOU PULL THAT FISHIN' ROD BACK AND GET A FACE FULL AH ANGRY SNAKE. I KNOW THAT. BUT I ALSO GOTTA TELL YOU THIS; WE GOT THE BEST OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW. WE GOT A DEFENSE FULL OF WILLIN' BODIES TRYIN' REAL HARD. WE GOT SAMMY WATKINS PEELIN' THE TOP OFF AH DEFENSES AND A SLEW OF DUDES IN ONE-ON-ONE UNDERNEATH WHO CAN MAKE YOU HURT REAL QUICK. WITH A NAME LIKE STANTON SECKINGER HE'S PROLLY GONNA BE GOLFIN' HIS WAY INTO THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE ONE DAY, BUT DANG IF HE AIN'T DOIN' MATRIX BALLET THINGS TO GET INTO THE ENDZONE FOR THE TIGERS RIGHT NOW.</p> <p>PARDON MY LANGUAGE.

The line between FCS and FBS teams can be quite clear, or it cannot. For instance, take the gulf between Nicholls State and Oregon. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441/http://www.geauxcolonels.com/galleries/default.aspx?image=998" target="_blank">This is the office of Nicholls State head coach Charlie Stubbs</a>.

Oregon defeated Nicholls State by a score of 66-3 this weekend, but the apholstery in those photos already told you that.</p> <p>That line is less obvious at other places. Kansas State lost to an North Dakota State team what was 14-1 last year and won the last two FCS national championships. Oregon State lost to Eastern Washington, they of the blood-red field and the last non-North Dakota State FCS national championship. It's not always blind, fumbling, shambolic football incompetence that gets you a loss to an FCS team. Sometimes that team is very good and does things as well or better than you under recruiting constraints and challenges not too dissimilar than yours.</p> <p>NDSU and EWU both live in the neighborhood of the teams they beat. This weekend they got paid to burgle houses.</p> <p><b>Gutted.</b> But yeah, sometimes you should just burn everything for the insurance money and start over, USF, UConn, San Diego State, and USF. USF gets a free pass because Skip Holtz did all the home repairs himself without ever applying for a city permit, and Willie Taggart is just staggered by all the rot he's got in the drywall. (No concept of how a continuous drainage system, reclaimed materials all over the place, and a foundation poured out of cooking grease and sawdust? Skip Holtz had the bootleg contractor triple crown in hand at USF, AND once kicked a field goal on 3rd and 2.) <span> </span></p> <p><b>Halleluia. </b></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p>Pregame prayer in Neyland thanked God for a new coach. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441/https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Ouch&src=hash">#Ouch</a></p> — Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130914034441/https://twitter.com/wesrucker247/statuses/373927312234151936">August 31, 2013</a> </blockquote> <p>Prayer in thanks for delivery from Derek Dooley is a new gold standard in selective prayer, Tennessee, but a kid in my high school did pray on the question of whether to keep wrestling or join marching band to be with his girlfriend.
