Nothing says “Roll Tide” is quite like an emphatic, statement-making win over LSU in Tiger Stadium, and Alabama fans knew it. The Crimson Tide took command with an unstoppable offense and stifling defense. Defeating the Tigers 42-13 and bolstering their case as playoff contenders. Among the celebrants was Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban, raising the toast to the legendary coach, her dad, and the Alabama dynasty he built. It was a celebration marked by pride, joy, and, of course, a little crimson red, you can say.

Alabama’s season had its hiccups in October, but this victory marked a definitive return to form. The team playing sharper on both sides of the ball thrilled the doubters with this turnaround. Bama kept their hopes alive in the CFP race with a 7-2 record while LSU is all but eliminated with a third loss. Both Bama and the Tigers are Nick Saban’s former sides. If LSU had won, it might turn out to be a dilemma for Kristen. But why? The reason is simple.

Kristen took to an Instagram story to show how she is celebrating the Crimson Tide’s ecstatic win. She posted a smiling photo of her dad, a glass of red wine in hand, decked out in a crimson red dress that matched the vibe in Alabama for a few weeks at least. “10/10 recommended a red monochromatic moment,” her story’s caption read, capturing the spirit of the win with just a hint of sass. Just a lucky coincidence wearing a red dress, or that’s faith in the Alabama side. We’ll never know. One thing that we know is that she must be relieved not wearing anything yellow.

This isn’t just any win, though. It’s Alabama proving. Despite a few shaky games and the two losses, they’re still one of the teams to beat in the league. A clap back to some who counted out the Crimson Tide. Coach Kalen DeBoer, who’s seen his share of nail-biters and victories, knew this win was special.

A legitimate contender rose from Death Valley, and no, it’s not the home side gentlemen.

Kristen Saban wins hearts

The daughter of the legendary coach knows a thing or two about turning heads with her style. When earlier she shared a glammed-up look at Bryant-Denny Stadium in her stunning ‘homecoming’ gown. But she also is very kind and compassionate, particularly towards animals. As CFB fans, sworn rivals, literally, everyone stands together in support and mourns the loss of Ben Kirk Herbstreit’s adorable pup after he succumbed to cancer earlier in the week.

Kristen paid her tribute on her way. Saban’s daughter took to her Instagram story to share a picture of her and Ben with the caption, “Rest easy, good boy, Ben. Americas favorite Gameday dog.” Showing kindness is free, and this proves it. With such a high-profile last name, she didn’t have to. But went out of her way just for Ben.
