“Wake up”: Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban fumes at Alabama fans during Granddaddy Rose Bowl matchup against Michigan
Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban was not happy with the Alabama Crimson Tide fans in the Rose Bowl. She took to Instagram during the game and angrily called them out through a story. She wanted them to "wake up" and register their presence against the Michigan Wolverines.
The Tide trailed the Wolverines at halftime of the Rose Bowl and much was left to do in the second half. Kristen has been one of the most vocal supporters of her father's team throughout the season. And maybe she wanted the same enthusiasm from the fans to lift the team out of deficit in the second half.

The score was 10-13 in the Wolverines favor. Kristen made the plea towards the halfway mark in hopes of turning things around in the second half of the game.
