TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban hears over the loudspeakers that his show is back from commercial break and going on without him, but he doesn't stop. Alabama's head football coach keeps working the room inside Baumhower's Victory Grill, shaking hands and posing for pictures. A mountain of a man dressed in a spandex-and-sequined, Crimson Tide-themed luchador outfit eyes him from afar.
Saban's wife, Terry, is seated at a table nearby, holding court, too. Earlier in the evening, a fan approached her with a gift: a onesie for her grandchild due in March.
They're all here for Saban's weekly radio show, which is also livestreamed on Facebook.
