President Donald Trump long ago took a side in the Republican primary for Jonny Venters Jersey this year'sU.S. Senate race in Alabama: former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, who's facing former Sen. Jeff Se sions, Trump's first attorney general, .Trump was doing some last-minute campaigning for Tuberville on Monday, and he either made more fans among those of the Plains persuasion, or he made enemies among those on the Tide side or both, let's be honest with something he said.:Really succe sful coach, Trump said, speaking of Tuberville. Beat Alabama, like six in a row, but we wont even mention that. As he said because of that, maybe we got em Lou Saban. ... And hes great, Lou Saban, what a great job hes done.Trump was right on the winning streak: Tuberville' Mike Foltynewicz Jersey s Tigers won six Iron Bowls in a row from 2002-07and seven out of nine overall dating to 1999.BENDER: The Saban part, on the other hand . . .First, though, a little-known fact: The full name of the current Tide football coach is Nicholas Lou Saban Jr. Saban hasbeen in charge of the program since 2007, aka the beginning of the end Jose Ramirez Jersey of Tuberville's Auburn tenure. A 36-0 Tide victory in 2008 ended the streak, and Tuberville resigned le s than a week later following a 5-7 season.Now, is Trump a college football savant who knows coaches' middle names? Did his staff pa s along that nugget to troll Se sions Josh Donaldson Jersey and Tide fans? Or did 45 just get his names mixed up?There's a chancea chance, nowhe made a Freudian slip and referred to the late Lou Saban, whose coachingcareer spanned from 1950 to 2002. That Saban coached in the NFL, two AFLs (American and Arena), multiple NCAA divisions, the NAIA and high school. He even had a run as an MLB executive with the Yankees.He also became known for this legendary mic'd-up moment:Because the Sabans (who may or may not have been second cousins, according R.A. Dickey Jersey to Lou Saban's widow yes, it's complicated) do share a name, there's enough cover for Trump to say he meant to do that especially if Tuberville wins Tuesday and goes on to defeat Democratic incumbent Doug Jones in the November general election, which will be held 25 days before the next Iron Bowl is supposed to be played.
