Crimson Red Sports

I guess I need to see the entire thing, but I'm not fond of it so far.

I agree.  Maybe it's one of those things that you just have to see in person.

Here is another link for more pictures: http://thejuiceisgood.com/post/3582654014/they-say-this-is-a-nick-saban-statue-to-be-placed

That looks like it's just a cast.  The bronze should look better.  Looks like he is clapping?

Plus remember they redid it several times, this could be a reject.  

There is an article on tidesprots err rivals, that is premium content.  

I don't like it.  It captures the moment, and probably his personality, but usually statues are best when they present a dignified pose.  He looks like a cartoon character.

Maybe that's why I'm not an artist. ;D

I kind of agree with chech and maybe it will look better when complete ? :hopesso:
looks kind of strange right now though  :o

ROLL TIDE anyway !

I am not crazy about it either. I think they screwed up on his face. I mean, I know it's impossible to get the statue to look JUST like him but I don't think this one does him justice at all.
Hopefully like someone said - maybe this is a reject mold.

I hadn't noticed this before, but look at the time on his watch.  It's 1 o'clock.  That's cool in a subtle sort of way.

I feel in my head that CNS would never have that. I think somebody has computerized a fake pic. lol.

The Dubose clap??? would rather show him dog-cussing a referee

I thought some pics looked 'ok' and some didn't look very good at all.  The whole pose looks a little strange.  He seems to be leaning forward quite a bit.

I may be seriously wrong because ABC33/40 Sports showed it today and it was the same pic. RTR!

that is pretty cool but ....
when the watch is the best part of the statue ? Houston ! we have a problem !   ;D

I dont get it.  What's cool about 1 oclock?

I'm not sure either General ... maybe lunch time ?

I can't remember seeing a statue with a watch though
let alone one that the time was visible on .
all I can say is , if the watch is the best part ?
we have a bad case of the statue suckage   :o

1 as in #1 ranked football team.  The time was about the only thing nice I could find to say about the statue for now.  :)  Like I saw discussed on another board, in one of the pictures, Coach Saban even looks like Andy Griffith.

I thought about the #1 thing too ... good call bamaphile  8)
I'll wait until the thing is finished before making my final call on quality .
I mean wth do I know anyway ? right ?
shoot , I can't build a sand castle if you know what I'm saying  ;D

I just hope it gets better that's all

and I apologize for my lame attempts at humor
out of work comedians are cursing me all across the world , I feel it !   

BTW, this is the shot that people are saying makes the statue look like Andy Griffith:

I couldn't figure out how to insert the image here. 

I can't say that I disagree with this shot making it look like Andy Griffith.

You should see my stick figures.  ;D

OMG !  it does   :o
