Boating fun for Nick Saban, Alabama players goes horribly wrong

It’s not often that one sees college football’s ultimate schemer look helpless, but a comical moment happened Thursday with Alabama head football coach Nick Saban and some players taking part in a summer tradition: spending time with Saban at his lake home in Tuscaloosa.

According to a video obtained by TMZ Sports, what was supposed to have been an exciting boating, tubing, fun in the water experience turned into the 2017 College Football Playoff national champions being lost at sea. Saban, who is normally prepared for anything, did not recognize that there was not enough gas in the boat upon pulling out and then the fun started.
