What can we expect tonight?

You know, it's very interesting, Kevin, because when you're very close to a situation for 18 years like we were, covering Nick Saban, getting cussed out by Nick Saban at press conferences, and being in meetings with Nick Saban where Nick is Nick, and it wasn't like Nick was one way off the air than he was at a press conference.
2:34
I mean, he was intense the whole time.
2:37
But the one thing that I think America, if you hear him on game day at times talk about Miss Terry, And, you know, that love between those two, it was a genuine partnership that goes back to the days in West Virginia.
2:51
And I think for those that may not know the entire Nick Saban story, I think you're going to be able to pull the curtain back and look at the man and how he developed into the person that he was on and off the football field.

And it starts with Miss Terry, just an absolutely wonderful woman, very gracious person.

I will never forget sitting on a game day bus with her, Kevin, back when all those rumors were circulating that Nick Saban was going to leave Alabama to go to Austin.
