"All i care about at the moment": Nick Saban's daughter shows love to furry celebrity pet during Texas face-off

Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban had a different priority on her mind this week. The Alabama Crimson Tide suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, putting a dent in their hopes of clinching a national championship.

However, Nick Saban's daughter was more obsessed with College GameDay cast Kirk Herbstreit's four-legged friend, Ben. Ben is a golden retriever who quickly became a sensation among college football fans when he first made his appearance on TV back in 2021.

In a recent Instagram story, Kristen Saban shared Herbstreit's post of Ben enjoying his time during the Texas vs Georgia game in Week 8. The post includes snippets of Ben and Herbstreit greeting people on the sidelines and taking in the atmosphere of the game.

"All I care about at the moment," Kristen wrote in the caption

Ben accompanies Herbstreit everywhere he goes because he is his emotional support dog. Before the Texas vs Georgia showdown, the duo also attended an event hosted by Raising Cane's.

While speaking with the reporters at the event, Kirk Herbstreit opened up about how Ben is battling health concerns and is undergoing three different chemotherapies. He also opened up about how his furry friend is an indispensable part of his family.

"It started with Leukemia. They were concerned. At that point, this was back in March, they didn't know how long he said," Herbstreit said. "Most recently, his numbers were elevated, and that's why he didn't come with me last week. Now they're injecting the chemo. He's taking three different chemos."

"We'll see how he responds to this. He's a family member, so when you have somebody, whether it's a person or a dog in this case, going through something, you are just trying to keep him happy. You don't take any day for granted. Every day I wake up, I see his tail wagging, it's a great day to celebrate."

Alabama's loss to Tennessee will be a hard pill to swallow for Nick Saban, who won six national championships with the Crimson Tide. However, Kalen DeBoer and his team will now have to buckle it up for the rest of the season if they want to secure a playoff berth.
