How to Get Coach Saban's Autograph

Something that has been mentioned a few times around here is the policy Coach Saban has for signing items sent to him at certain times of the year. I spoke with the folks in the football office today and the latest two-week window to do this opens next Monday.
According to the Football Office, items may be sent to Coach Saban for autographing between Feb. 23 and March 6. There are also times slated in late July and late November but those are subject to change. The limit is two items and they must come with a postage-paid self-addressed envelope (or box if necessary) as well as indicating the name of the person for the signature to be made to.
The address is:
Coach Nick Saban
University of Alabama
Football Office
PO Box 870323
Tuscaloosa, AL 35487

Or you can do what I did...
When I lived in Opelika, the local post offices were having a silent auction for breast cancer awareness. One of the items was a Saban autographed (pink) baseball cap. I knew my wife would love it, so I put a bid in for all I had: $33.
I was the only bidder and we got the cap! As I walked into the post office to see if we won at the end of the day, I asked who won the cap autographed by “the coach.” Everyone turned around and started screaming, upset that they didn’t see the TT-autographed memorabilia. When I was handed the cap and everyone saw the “Roll Tide! Nick Saban” autograph, I walked out proudly to the boos of the crowd.
This made the perfect birthday present for my wife.
this is actually a good point...
…the information above is for getting personal items signed by coach. if you want autographed items for charity, the football office will work with you. if anyone needs any more info on this front, let me know and i’ll see about digging it up.
Nevermind
I see you just updated it with dates. DON’T STEAL MY GLORY!!!!

I had
the pleasure of going to the Mal Moor Athletic Center the other day to pick up a couple of signed footballs. Of course they were not for me. I work at the Bryant CC and they were for a charity. It was nice to see a few football players and to hold two footballs signed by CNS.
?
You can send a football in a box right? I am going to get that forbes signed

rolltide.com has ongoing auctions...
…and some things have Coach’s autograph. There are some game used footballs. One from the 36-0 Iron Bowl is at $375. The fan experiences are pretty cool. They had a couple of those during football season. comer may want to bid on this one.

Anyone else notice
How pissed off Saban looks in that picture. You can tell there is about 10 million other places he’d rather be…
When you are an Alabama fan you are expected to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because I want to.
saban ALWAYS looks like that
but the fact is he is doing it. that he stopped to take the time and do it as well as set up these periods for folks like myself who can’t make it to games or practices shows that understands how important this is to folks who follow the team. that he has made it a priority gets him nothing but admiration in my book.
I went to Coach Saban's radio show in NOLA before the Sugar Bowl...
…and he smiled and joked a lot. It was great seeing that side of him. During commercial breaks, he came off stage, signed things and posed for pictures. During the season, the radio show was on Thursdays from Buffalo Wild Wings, located on McFarland Boulevard. He probably signed and posed there too. If you’re in or near Tuscaloosa on Thursdays in the fall, you might be able to get what you want then.

He does always look like that, I guess,
but as someone who’s photographed a billion times a day, it’s hard to keep that All-American winning smile on your face for hours at a time! I had to smile for 3 hours on my wedding day through pictures and reception, and it about killed me!
I bleed crimson and white...I puke Vol puke orange. RTR
Yeah really
It is a still picture taken at 1/Bazzillions of a second in time. He might have had an itch or something.

Thanks!
I’ve been calling almost every week to find out when they were going to be doing this in February because I missed the one in December and I was planning on getting two for Christmas presents. I assumed that “there’s no way Saban will be signing things during the week before the SECCG” so I waited until the week after to call. Turns out, that’s the week he did it.
If I send a camera will he take a picture of himself signing my object ...
or just sign my camera and send it back

What would be the most creative thing to send him to sign?
