U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska, said his wife is an Alabama “super fan.” He requested that no one share his feelings on Nick Saban’s program because he doesn’t want to sleep on the couch for the next decade.
University of Florida presidential hopeful and U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse apologized Tuesday for what he said was “the single ugliest, most scandalous thing” about his record: calling the SEC trash.
Sasse did not mention one of the Gators’ other chief SEC rivals, Tennessee, which is tied with Ohio State at No. 2 in the latest Associated Press college football poll. “They’re not the most important thing, but in some ways it’s the most important daily thing …” Sasse said of sports on campus. “And let’s just admit at pragmatic level, that Gator symbol is one of the five or so most recognized icons and brand in college athletics, not just in this country but internationally. And we ought to be exploiting and taking advantage of that front door.”
