Jimbo Fisher reveals what he would give up to beat Alabama
Moving from Tallahassee, Florida to College Station, Texas has yielded a different food palette for Jimbo Fisher, but he already knows what he likes.
In a conversation with Peter Burns of the SEC Network, the Texas A&M coach expressed his love for southern cooking. But he also drew the line at what he would give up if it mean he could beat Alabama this week.
In such a high stakes game like one this week in Tuscaloosa that could go a long way to decide the SEC West, it’s an interesting question for anyone connected to the game.
Given Texas A&M’s narrow loss to Clemson, it’s also a barometer for how far the Aggies have come in Fisher’s first year. Fisher, a former assistant to Alabama coach Nick Saban, leads a team that Saban called the best the Crimson Tide has faced thus far.
The game will be the marquee matchup in the CBS afternoon game, 2:30 p.m. local time, this week.
Jimbo Fisher: "I love Southern Cooking, I can't give it up"
Me: "Would you go full Vegan for a year if it meant you beat Bama this weekend?"
Jimbo: "ZERO doubt. I love winning too much to care about food"
Question, would you go Vegan for a year if it meant a win for your team?
