May 2022

Nick Saban, the football coach at Alabama, was in his freshman year at Kent State. He and his roommate went to eat instead of going to see what was going on in the student commons area. I’m summarizing here. He’s been very open and public, yes in Alabama, about how he feels about it and how lucky he is that they weren’t in the area. One of the girls was in a class with him not that he really knew her. You can find videos of him talking about it on YouTube.

Saban grew up and played ball with Sen. Manchin in Farmington WV. They are still close friends.
