Best ‘GameDay,’ ‘SEC Nation signs from Tuscaloosa ahead of Alabama-Texas

When it comes to ESPN’s “College GameDay,” the fans always make the broadcast what it s. Part of the fun is the creativity the fans bring in the form of signs.

Sure, there was Pat McAfee and Nick Saban having some fun with each other. Lee Corso always adds drama with his head gear pick. Kirk Herbstreit even said “War Eagle” in Tuscaloosa.

Did we mention Steve Sarkisian got booed?

None of that has the impact i does without the fans. The Alabama fans in Tuscaloosa on Saturday morning – ahead of No. 3 Alabama and No. 11 Texas – didn’t disappoint. Here is just a small sampling of the signs seen during the broadcast. Tip of the cap to AL.com’s Ben Flanagan for some of the shots.
