Here’s something you may not know: Alabama coach Nick Saban does not practice his own version of that religion Jimmy Page does with the castles and candles and alchemy. Rather, he’s a devout Catholic who has mass performed before every game.
Nick Saban is in touch with his spiritual side
I am off to serve and go to Mass with Nick Saban, his staff and some of his players

Neat! What else can we uncover about this fascinating development?
@brosley_op NO WAY! I don't believe it! Super jealous.... Side question...is Saban Catholic?

Anything else we should know?
@kaylaessner Fr Thomas asked them give us at least one touchdown

Well, a touchdown seems like a perfectly reasonable request. But if you ask for no-huddle you might end up seeing the other side of Saban. #RollGod
