FAYETTEVILLE -- Thirteen of the 14 SEC head baseball coaches surely guffawed if all saw the July 15 opening session of SEC Football Media Days on the SEC Network from Hoover, Ala.
Presumably, Mitch Gaspard, the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball coach, didn't laugh.
Unless treating an audience to a rare flash of humor, Nick Saban is accustomed to reverence, not laughter, when he speaks in Alabama. And this time Alabama's 3-time national champion football coach clearly was not trying to be funny.
Even if Saban did convulse everyone watching who coaches college baseball outside of Tuscaloosa.
