Yes, given his tan, Nick Saban generally looks bronze year round, but we're talking the real bronze here. The metal bronze. You see, it was about this time last year that word first surfaced Alabama would be unveiling some statues honoring Nick Saban much like it has other head coaches who won national titles in Tuscaloosa. The original plan was for the statue to be unveiled at Alabama's spring game last March, known as A-Day, but that simply wasn't enough time. Then the school set a target date for the season opener last fall, but that wasn't enough time either.
So the latest unveiling is set to be on this year's A-Day, and it looks as though things may be on schedule this time. TideSports.com has some photos of the statue, and it looks just about finished to me.
Of course, the statue isn't completely finished just yet, and they are currently in Oklahoma. So while the goal is to have them on campus for A-Day, there's no guarantee it will be ready in time. Though what I want to know is if there are any Auburn fans within driving distance of the statues right now who will drive over there and poison the statue. And by poison the statue, I mean cut its head off Jebediah Springfield-style.
