Nick Saban Promotes Vaccinations in New PSA: 'We Want Bryant-Denny Stadium Loud Again'
Alabama head coach Nick Saban taped a PSA this week for the state of Alabama to encourage people to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, the state confirmed to the Wall Street Journal's Louise Radnofsky and Ben Cohen.
The PSA comes as Alabama ranks near the bottom of states in the U.S. in which people have received at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the New York Times, as of Friday, May 7, just 33% of the state's residents have received their first dose, well below the U.S. total of 45%.
In the spot, which is set to air next week on radio, television and social media, Saban urges fans to get vaccinated as a way to help college football stadiums return to full capacity.
“College football fans and players both want full stadiums this fall,” Saban said in the video, per the WSJ. “Let’s make sure we can safely make this happen by getting vaccinated. Please get your COVID-19 vaccine. We want Bryant-Denny Stadium loud again this coming season—and Roll Tide!”
Following reports of the PSA, Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne said in a tweet, "Appreciate Coach Saban’s leadership encouraging vaccination."

Don’t have the link handy but his response to Jumbo Fisher whipping his ass was top fucking shelf.

I'm not even mad about Saban winning... the guy is the best (although he's benefited uniquely in order to win).
From him being generous to Ragnow to his sort of timely humor. I agree he's been fun to have in football.
Besides.. we are 1-1 vs him and hopefully we get another crack at his program soon.

Correct. 1998 never happened and I'm sick of conspiracy theorists who argue it did

This transfer rule is going to make watching CFB even more laughable. For true CFB fans, if you don't root for Bama, OSU, Clemson, UGa, OU, then sorry for your luck. And tbh, we're all trying to play catch up to Bama now even more so. Flood gates are open. And there may be one more BIG transfer that is rumored...
