TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It was a Thanksgiving meal that can’t be beat, but it was also the moment that University of Alabama Crimson Tide running back Kenyan Drake saw his position coach in a new light.
With the Iron Bowl always played two days after the holiday, Alabama’s tradition is make sure that every player has a place to relax and feast. Nick Saban and his wife Terry always host a large group (“catered,” he’s admitted), but Burton Burns and his wife Connie have been known to put on the quite the spread.
“Oh yeah,” Drake said.
