Nick Saban warns of 'rat poison' before matchup with Texas A&M. Tony_Tsoukalas has more from a fiery press conference:
When the 16-year head coach starts tapping his lectern and his face turns a darker shade of red, a visible change in his demeanor occurs, which has yielded some explosive responses at the expense of the reporters over the years.
"I was talking about rat poison last year we played this game nobody would listen to players would listen, y'all didn't listen," Saban said. That last week before we were big favorites, it was like no big deal. To show up for this game. Go play the next game. And I don't get affected by it because I don't listen to you all. I really don't have any interest in what anybody thinks about any of this stuff.
Alabama would go on to lose the game 41-38 in Kyle Field, spurned on by an electric offensive performance by the Aggies.
