Nick Saban opened his press conference Wednesday in a usual way — ranting.

However, the rant this time wasn’t about the NCAA or how the media’s praise is “rat poison,” it was about ripped up blue jeans.

“Not to offend anyone out there but I just walked by some jeans, worn out jeans, holes in them, all cut up,” Saban said. “I just remember when I was a kid in West Virginia, I was ashamed to go to school because my jeans were worn out, only because we didn’t have any better. Now they buy them that way.

“I just can’t figure out, how did we get here?”

Saban's full remark can be seen in video (above).
