College Gameday traveled to Tuscaloosa on Saturday to preview the Alabama vs. Vanderbilt game. No, seriously. Welcome to college football in 2025.
Shockingly, there was a massive turnout for the event, and just like every Saturday there were some incredible moments. Here were a few of our favorites.
NSFW Nick Saban strikes again
An hour and a half before the Clemson-North Carolina game, the crew did an on-field interview with Bill Belichick. During the exchange, Belichick paid Nick Saban a compliment. It ended about how you’d expect.

Miss Terry brought snacks
Nick and Terry Saban returned to their former home, and they didn’t come empty handed. Before a special on the Nick’s Kids Foundation, Jess Sims asked Terry what Nick Saban’s favorite foods were. Apparently 73 year-old Nick Saban has the palate of a nine-year-old revealing that spaghetti, hot dogs, and her homemade pepperoni pizza rolls were his favorites.
Miss Terry didn’t bring any for Nick, but she did pass a bunch out to the crowd.
Someone’s reward for getting to Gameday at 5am was getting hit in the face with one of Miss Terry’s pepperoni rolls.

Kirk Herbstreit won someone $300,000
The weekly field goal competition held by Pat McAfee revealed it has now given away nearly $4 million in donations since they began the weekly segment last year. This week it was Gabby, a chemical engineering major, who had never kicked anything in her life besides her brother, according to her.
She waited in line since noon Friday to win a chance at getting picked. However, her initial attempt was so bad, they decided to give her a second chance with Herbstreit’s help.
IF @KIRKHERBSTREIT CAN THROW THAT FOOTBALL THRU THOSE UPRIGHTS…
WE’LL GIVE YOU $300,000 💰💰
WHAT A THROW
CONGRATULATIONS GABBY #CollegeGameDay https://t.co/NpX7Nj4MYs pic.twitter.com/phogeuL0Gv
