You can’t tell the story of college football without Nick Saban and the Stoops family. Long before they were competing for National Championships, Saban was a Michigan State assistant tasked to recruit the rust belt. Throughout his many recruiting trips to Youngstown to recruit the Stoops brothers — Bob, Mike and Mark — he cultivated a relationship with the older generation of the family. That relationship between the two families remains strong 40 years later ahead of Alabama‘s trip to Kentucky.
