Nick Saban was about to head into the locker room to celebrate a come-from-behind win over Tennessee on Saturday evening.
He might not smoke the victory cigars, preferring to simply chew on them, but you can bet the Alabama locker room was going to be a smoky one.
But before getting the party started, Saban had one more item on his postgame to-do list. As you can see in the video below from Nick Alvarez, Saban jogged over to the student section to thank the Alabama faithful for being a factor in the Tide’s victory:
