Quote:During my drive home tonight, 1010xl reported that Saban visited 3 area high schools today all by helicopter.  Really?

 

Not trying to sound like a prude but is commuting to a high school by helicopter really in the best interest of safety for the students, employees and neighboring community?  I guess if I could afford to pick up and drop off my children via helicopter, these schools would have allowed me to use the football field as well.

 

The reason for the visit was to simply check-in on Sophomore and Junior commitments.  More prude coming; are interruptions like landing helicopters, visiting head coaches and departing helicopters really in the best interest of education?

 

Good lord....I'm getting old and crotchety.  Tell me why you agree with me or tell me why I should sit in the corner, drink my Ensure and watch Fox News.

I got no problem with it, as long as it's a one-time kinda thing. Let's face it, school is drudgery and lots of the same thing over and over. The stuff we most remember are the outliers, the things that were not the norm and this is how I view Saban's visit.

 

Is missing an hour or two of school in January going to ruin a bunch of grades? Nah, I don't think so. Besides, everyone is going to remember that day that Coach Saban showed up on campus in a helicopter.

 

Now, can I bring you a blanket for your lap and some warm milk, or do you wanna come to the bar and have beers with the rest of us?
