“John Mark loves Alabama more than anyone alive. When I go to bed at night I hear Eli Gold in my sleep. When I get up in the morning, he usually is watching an Alabama game. Several weeks ago I saw him watching a copy of the 92′ National Championship game. My heart swelled with pride knowing I was a part of something he cares so much about. Later that evening, we were skipping rocks on a creek at our ranch when I realized what a special moment this was. How blessed am I to have such a special relationship with my boy? I reached down and scrubbed his head and said ‘Son, who is your favorite Alabama coach? He looked at me with no hesitation and replied ‘Nick Saban’.”
