For the final week of the regular season, ESPN College GameDay made its inevitable return to Tuscaloosa for the 79th edition of the Iron Bowl. Alabama and Auburn fans did not disappoint.

But the story of the day came from this barely-safe-for-work Nicki Minaj-referencing sign:
BAMA CONDA snuck into the background during the pre-GameDay SportsCenter:
Hey looking good @BramESPN RT @haleyehuffman: Bamaconda pic.twitter.com/a0DoE8bjf7
— CBinDC (@CBJinDC) November 29, 2014 The sign was apparently too much for ESPN, which confiscated it for a short time before returning it to the owner. The reason for its return? It was just too good.
Remember that one time security took my gameday sign, then ESPN personally brought it back to me because they loved it too much?? #RollTide
— Austin Rhyne (@TheAustinRhyne) November 29, 2014 Once returned, it was on ESPN. A lot.
Best sign in awhile. #CollegeGameDay #bamaconda pic.twitter.com/1UAwsgGDg6
