When the season started, did you expect Nick Saban to be holding court on rat poison and ripped jeans? Or Mike Leach to give a dissertation on weddings? (OK, maybe that's not so far-fetched.) But it's been a long season, and it's possible you forgot some of these.

Nick Saban, a Coke bottle and words to live by

On 2017 fashion: "Not to offend anybody out here, I just walked by some jeans, wore out jeans, holes in them, all cut up.

I just can't figure how did we get here?"
