MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: THE WANNSTACHE AND DORK SABAN

PrintToday's Mustache Wednesday is a bonafide treat indeed. From the vaults of reader Bryan: vintage Wannstache and his friend, FORTRAN-loving 1982 computer dork Nick Saban. (Click for very biggish.)
If you asked Dave Wannstedt to join you for a foursome this weekend, he would show up naked wearing a Mardi Gras mask. When you explained to him you meant "a golf foursome," he would say "oh," and it would be awkward, but he would probably go home and put on that exact outfit complete with Blu-Blockers and drive back in his smoking Camaro. Night Ranger would be playing. Most likely "When You Close Your Eyes." He'd have an overbite going with the head bob, and let the t-top blow his hair dry.
Saban, on the other hand, looks like he just raided Steve Wozniak's closet for clothes. Guys, I'm not really that good at golf, but I can solve Zork in 83 steps. If the lady selling beer out of a golf cart did not card him, then she clearly failed the state liquor laws of whatever state this magnificent photo was taken in years ago.
Happy Mustache Wednesday, motherfuckers!

Oh God, I’m full. That picture sates my hunger for the foreseeable future. I can’t thank you enough.
Also, hello new desktop.
Am I the only one who thought
That was Rick Moranis on the right?

Saban looks like Dean Pritchard in Old School.

That's exactly what I thought when i saw that.
Couldn’t remember the name though, just the character.

Jeremy Piven is also taller

Childhood memories
I’m afraid to admit that I’ve seen family pictures where my father could pass as Wannstache …
Same
It was a sad day in our household when my father shaved his mustache. He could have easily been Wanntache’s stunt double.

Age has had the same effect to Saban
that the death mask had to Anakin.

The only affect i see on Saban
Is the obvious Napoleon Complex he had to have developed.

If Wannstadt wasn't thrusting his chest at such a lofty angle,
you could trade a single purply-blue stripe across all four of their shirts.
Who are those other two gents?

That line is actually…
His height requirement for mustache rides… Saban just makes it.
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him. He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him do the things that make you think he's right - Willie

Really? No one?
Ok. I’ll do it, then.
Saban is wearing shorts.

Wait...state liquor laws apply on the golf course?
Fuck.
I'm afraid I have no choice but to sell you all for scientific experiments.
I don't ever want to get old.

Anyone else seeing Saban and thinking Kent from "Real Genius?"
“And from now on, stop playing with yourself!”
“It IS God.”

That picture documents the last time Saban had time for any kind of shit.
If a fan is continually hyping the alleged "academic superiority" of his conference, it's for one obvious reason: they're getting get their ass whipped on the field.
They should make that pose the statue.
It doesn’t matter how many football games the SEC wins. We will always look down on you.
Neumans
For those of you out there who played football in, you know, the ’90s, check out the Neumans.
I did not notice those....
Neumans were great, especially when you sprayed them down with a can of stickum
Before earning fame as a coach...
….Saban made a small fortune producing his own golf instructional videos.

This taught you how to scream at yourself alot for bad shots
but in a much meeker voice
We are THE tigersthatsaywareagle
What Nick Saban is thinking in that picture is:
“You better have your GODDAMN TPS REPORTS READY TO FUCKIN GO WITH THE CORRECT GODDAMN COVER SHEET!!!!!”
Nick Saban ain't afraid to drive 700 miles, just to whoop a man's ass...
I don't know
Looks like he’s nervous and just hoping to play well enough to keep Wannstedt from kicking his ass.
We are THE tigersthatsaywareagle
hilarious
saban looks like wannstache just told him “remember, the loser today gets a putter up his ass” right before they snapped the picture.
NEVER QUIT!

Heh
The desire to forget one’s wardrobe choices can be a powerful motivator.
Apparently, THE most powerful motivator.
Gotta Know...
Does anyone know who the other two guys are?
And when will aqua-marine colored clothing come back in style?
Aquamarine went out of style?
But no, I think this would have been even more epically retro if someone pulled out the full track suit.

Other 2
I think the guy to the left is Lou Saban. The guy next to Wanny is Roy Scheider?

People in Opelika
Still dress like that, and dont see what the big deal is. What are the odds that Kenny Loggins “Danger Zone” is being played in the clubhouse at that very moment?
Saban is Viper, no doubt.

I've found my halloween cosutme for next year...Which one is the question
I’ll have to be be Wannstache though since I’m over 5ft.
On a more serious note, nothing says class more than Blue Blockers and croakies.
i heard
Ron jeremy got the idea to grow a mustache from dave wannstache. Felt it would class up the joint

If I had no friends, no loving family, no job, no nothing...
I could still be a happy man as long as this blog generates this kind of content and hilarious comentary.
I look forward to a million remixes of Dork Saban.
I can only imagine what LSUFreak is doing right now.
Well, that settles it...
Nick Saban has always had the posture of an 80 year old woman.
Polyester ball sac constriction
I’m disappointed that Wannstache is sporting relatively baggy Bermudas in this photo, instead of the clingier, shorter hot pants so common in the era. It’s a good thing; I bet all of that snug polyester was too constricting to the balls (causing temporary infertility in a lesser male).
"Golf for Schmucks"
yep. thats it.
"We don't have to ride around in limos to sell recruits. We have over 57 years of NFL coaching experience on Alabama's coaching staff. Thats what we sell."
