Nick Saban on Tik Tok? (pictured above) Is Nick Saban smiling? It is all part of a new AFLAC campaign on the social media platform, the challenge is you have:15 to make Nick Saban Smile #NickSmiles. The 2022 Team at Alabama is getting a lot of preseason accolades, my experience of covering really talented Nick Saban teams, you’ll see more outbursts and fewer smiles as he pushes this team to reach its potential. Good Luck Tik Tok users. – Jim Dunaway
