Nick Saban oblivious to election; other sports figures outspoken
Posted Nov 12, 2016
Nick Saban said he was oblivious to the presidential election because he is preoccupied coaching his No. 1-ranked Alabama team. Saban claimed he didn’t know voting occurred Tuesday to elect the 45th president and was evasive about whether he knew Donald Trump had defeated Hillary Clinton in the type of upset Mississippi State will attempt Saturday against 9-0 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
