Dousing the coach

One of my favorite traditions in sports is dousing the head football coach with frigid water after a championship win. As NCAA college football concluded it's bowl season with last night's National Championship Game, we were rewarded with another great example of this soggy ritual as Alabama's players soaked their coach, Nick Saban, after the team defeated Texas. I wish we could all similarly douse our bosses after a big success. ( 15 photos total)

For completion sake, maybe you could have included the original "Sports Drink" douse-- Harry Carson and Bill Parcells of the NY Giants.

Saban was way too stressed out to deal with the dousing yesterday! Hard fought comeback from Texas. Too bad about McCoy. It would have been nice to see both teams have their key leaders healthy.

I enjoyed this pics! The ones with sports drinks instead of water makes them so much more interesting and eye catching...
