    Former USC announcer Tom Kelly discusses the following incident upon the death of Craig Fertig (uncle to Todd Marinovich), long time assistant to John McKay...

    "Kelly also tells one of his favorite Fertig stories: McKay told him to pick up Alabama coach Bear Bryant at a Santa Monica hotel and take him to the Pepperdine campus, where the legendary Tide coach was to speak at a coaching clinic.

    “Fertig made it to the hotel at a quarter to seven, called the room, woke the Bear up, and had a Bloody Mary or two with him,” said Kelly. “They then drove to Pepperdine and walked into the clinic. After Bryant was introduced, he collapsed. Paramedics had to take him to the hospital.

    “Fertig was thinking: ‘Well, if I live, I’ll never be able to explain to Coach McKay what happened to his best friend while he was in my charge.’' Fertig finally called McKay, who came down to the hospital. The doctor told him that Bryant would be OK, but they needed to keep him a couple of days.

    “‘By the way,’ the doctor asked McKay, ‘where has this patient been the last week or so?’

    “‘Well, he’s been with me in Palm Springs. Why?’

    “‘Because,’ the doctor said, ‘he’s suffering from acute alcohol poisoning.’

    “With that, Fertig had to smile. McKay nodded and walked out the door.”

    Further proof Saban will never be better than Bear Bryant. Bryant was drunk for 40 years.

    Wonder if Saban now believes in the boogie man?

    His ego won't allow it. I'm absolutely positive that he thinks it's 100% Kiffin's fault. Forget the fact that he's the one that hired the douche.

    You think Nick's having second thoughts about telling Kiffin to take a hike a week before the game?

    No, there is absolutely no way he thinks he made a bad decision. He will die blaming this 100% on Kiffin.
