Watch: Nick Saban’s heartfelt reaction to first ‘College GameDay’ campus experience

Nick Saban has already warmed up to his new surroundings.

In the closing moments of ESPN’s “College GameDay” from College Station ahead of an Associated Press top 25 matchup between No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 20 Texas A&M, Saban gushed about his experience.

“GameDay” host Rece Davis said, “We told you it’d be different once you got here, didn’t we, Nick?”

Saban couldn’t contain his excitement in response.

“I never knew any of this. I never experienced any of this. I’ve never been to anything like this. This is so much fun,” he enthused.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared a clip of the moment.
