• Quote: We've got to give it up to Larry Burton who writes for Bleacher Report. In an article from October, 2009, Burton writes a brilliant observation about the visible bond between Nick and Terry in a far better narrative than we could ever come up with:
  "Looking around at the beginning of the press conference, I noticed Terry Saban watching her husband start his talk to the assembled media and the look on her face was instantly recognizable to an old romantic. She was smiling at him with that look of a girl who was going home with the hero of the moment, not just Alabama's hero, but her hero. She was as happy and excited with the win as any of us in the room, but there was so much more. She was enjoying sharing this moment with him."
