Peter HambyHOST
Go Tigers.
Peter HambyHOST
The other interesting thing was that Saban was off to the side, sort of rolling his eyes when this happened.
John KellyPANELIST
[laughs]
Peter HambyHOST
McAfee led the, uh, Tigerland audience in a chant of STTB.
John KellyPANELIST
So i- in different hands, I think McAfee's, uh, behavior w- would alienate people.
John KellyPANELIST
A- although you're right, that it, it, it seems, uh, it does seem [laughs] sort of out of touch in, in the MAGA era in which we live.
John KellyPANELIST
But the, the, the bigger thing that I perceive in all this, and- Just to remind people, we've talked up- in the past on this show about what seemed like a friction between Saban and McAfee, sort of old school and new school.
John KellyPANELIST
It's clear where this thing is going.
Ted CruzHOST
And, and, and so I-
Ben FergusonHOST
And, uh, you know one of the hosts on GameDay, Nick Saban, as well.
Ted CruzHOST
I, I know Nick well.
Ted CruzHOST
He has been really integral in getting the Protect College Sports Act through.

Ted CruzHOST
The National Olympic Committee has endorsed it.
Ted CruzHOST
Um, we have over 100 coaches who have endorsed it, including Nick Saban, inclu- including-
Ben FergusonHOST
Yeah
Aslan HajivandiHOST
Because, yeah, they're just there's no nobody's infallible.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
There's no Sabans.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
There's no Bowden in his prime.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
There's no Bear Bryant in his prime.
DHOST
We, and we've seen it in all the sports in college.
DHOST
Like obviously the big one is Nick Saban.
DHOST
He kind of just got tired of the, the NIL era, but it's Nick Saban.
DHOST
So like the great, you could argue, like I would say he's the greatest college coach ever.
DHOST
And then you got in basketball, you had Roy Williams do it.
Ted CruzGUEST
So it was very cool to be on College Game Day.
Ted CruzGUEST
And by the way, you know one of the hosts on Game Day, Nick Saban, as well.
Ted CruzGUEST
I know Nick well.
Ted CruzGUEST
He has been really integral in getting the Protect College Sports Act through.

Ted CruzGUEST
The...
Ted CruzGUEST
National Olympic Committee has endorsed it.
Ted CruzGUEST
We have over 100 coaches who have endorsed it, including Nick Saban, including John Calipari.
Ted CruzGUEST
It is an incredibly broad coalition that is supporting this.
Darian GrayHOST
But I was listening to a Ryan Clark interview, whether it was The Pivot or if it was somebody interviewing him.
Darian GrayHOST
And he discussed, I think it was somebody interviewing him, but he discussed the idea or the, the, the, he discussed when he was at LSU that Nick Saban just chewed him out something nasty.
Darian GrayHOST
And he talked to Saban about it.
Darian GrayHOST
And he was basically like, look, I know you can take it.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
Cause yeah, they're just, there's no, nobody's infallible.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
There's no Saban's.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
There's no Bowden in his prime.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
There's no bear Bryant in his prime, man.

Corey ClarkHOST
But, yeah, I just, that was a crazy, crazy, not just that they lost, but they looked like they didn't belong on the field for a lot of that game.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
Things change, obviously.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
Wins, losses, do they matter? Wasn't there, there's a quote out there about some losses, Saban said some losses are better than wins.
Aslan HajivandiHOST
Who said that? I think Nick Saban.
JRHOST
But it feels like not a great loss for Illinois.
JRHOST
This is not one of those quality losses that Nick Saban was talking about on game day, unfortunately.
Zach GuggenheimHOST
But it's understandable.
Zach GuggenheimHOST
I feel like it's understandable.
Dallas GridleyHOST
If he just won that.
Bob Colling Jr.HOST
Now, that's the counter that Saban should have done back in 2005.
Bob Colling Jr.HOST
Mm-hmm.
Bob Colling Jr.HOST
Instead of just dropping down and grabbing the knee.
