In case you missed it, here's how Nick Saban closed his segment on "Hey Coach!" Thursday night.

This is going to be the last word I say tonight, Tom. I know you usually say that, but I'm saying it tonight. Our team has worked their tail off for about the last 20 weeks now, actually since the bowl game last year. They're tired. They're sore. They're beat up. They've played in the most hostile environments. And they've done all you can ask of them to do in terms of them being competitors! A'ight! If our stadium on Saturday - I don't give a shit who we're playing - it better be what it ought to be! For what these guys have done, I'm just telling you, it ought to be that way! You ought to do it for them! It ain't waiting for the next game - how bout right now?! A'ight! Because our crowd should have an effect on this game for our players - our team - for appreciation of what they've done! You wanna know how I feel about it? That's how I feel about it! A'ight! How do you feel about it?
Clearly the coach is fired up for this weekend. It almost makes me feel bad for what's in store for Mississippi State. Almost. ED: The video of this is after the jump.
