[@Dtrainabrams]

R.I.P. Ben 🙏🏾

[@drumnmf8818]

Ben came into all of our hearts. Thank you, Kirk for sharing him with us. We love you, Ben!!! Condolences to Kirk and the Herbstreit family . ❤

[@benbradley1475]

Ben was a national treasure. Thanks for exposing us to his vitality and spirit.

[@RohitSharma-mi8gt]

Ben will be forever. Hang in there Kirk. You are not alone

[@sneakyquick]

The entire trajectory of the entire state of alabama has been forever changed by Nick Saban.

[@ellenorr2947]

Amen!

[@ralphbryant8178]

And we thank him for it. Especially offering in state talent opportunities

[@b-rad2699]

Absolutely…that’s why I’ve always said Saban’s value transcended football…anyone who went to the games throughout his career, you saw the transformation of not only the University, but the entire town of Tuscaloosa and like you said the entire state.

[@mas5867]

Oh, bull hockey! mention the 7 opinion polls and then support those opinions with on the field stats. Start out with wins, but then discuss wins against 11 win teams. 18-18 against P5 teams. Great and 500 are mutually exclusive.

[@mas5867]

The university should have another statue cast. One where Saban is walking on water.

[@kipestes3526]

Losing 2 dogs that close together would be tough. Saban is the GOAT and he has really elevated the gameday program.

[@StoicJason]

I love seeing Coach get to enjoy life. He earned it 10x over.

Well said! RTR!!

I love how raw and informal this is - I think it brings out Coach in a different light for some who may not see him on a regular basis. Plus - Ben is just awesome.

it's been said by a lot of people, a lot of times, but i have the upmost respect for Coach Saban! happy to see he's enjoying this next chapter of his life as a retired Coach talking ball, a true living legend.

Loved Ben in the background! Keep having him in these kinds of videos please!

[@CU-Tiger]

Being a fan of both Kirk and Ben, it was tough to see and feel the pain Kirk was experiencing. And it was a great addition to the show. I was reminded of past pet friends gone but remembered for the absolute joy they brought me and others and I was thankful for the pleasure this story brought to what is normally a great program leading up to the fun of a day of college football. Sadly, we couldn't simply have this time and it's joy without McAfee leading the crowd in an unforgivable, lewd chant that should never be a part of any activity, much less one with families and children. And he repeated the offense. We should not have to put up with that in order to see an otherwise good show. More importantly, Love and warmest wishes to Kirk and his family.

[@superfly7948]

Man I love Saban, I hate bama, love Saban. He's a man's man in today's world. Old values, He's knows what money and college football now is doing to this boys, and also their families. To give a 18 yr old a million to play college, forget the 4 yr degree, life changing education. People need to listen to his wisdom.

[@claytonlong391]

I'm 66 years old. years ago I got rained out on a Hwy construction job. took a job driving taxi in Nevada. met retired folks who gave me good advice and 'what they'd do if they did it over again' the hookers in the legal cat houses had some good advice too

Exactly.

[@Z7GFX]

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Genius format. I like seeing this side of highly successful people.

[@oktorb]

I felt the same way about not being part of a team, when I retired from the Army. After a while you get use to it and adapt to more of a normal way of life. I will admit every once in a while, I miss it. Thank coach, for everything you have done for the university, the state of Alabama, the game of college football, for the players, and for every fan that has ever been a part of the Crimson Tide family. ROLLTIDE!!!

Thank you for this, Kirk! You are the ultimate professional. Saban is the 🐐. Ben is a star. I love how he always calls her Mrs. Terry.

[@igorslocks]

I always had tons of respect and love for Coach Saban but hearing how he & Miss Terry lost 2 dogs back/back & his reaction to it, Coach is one of the best things we got going. Hey Coach, Igor says give that dog you got now an extra treat,ok. And Ben- Igor loves you too buddy.🐕🏈♥️

Sorry for your loss

[@GianFilipelli]

I am from Canada but have or had family in the US. I watch College Gameday since I cannot remember when lol must be my old age over 50 lol My daughter and son love football and started watching it just to try and see Ben Having a miniature poodle who is turning 4 today abd also has health issues, this really hit home for me and I cried for Ben and Kirk and his whole family. Ben has not only touched a nation, he has touched a world over and he has taught this old man that there are more important things in the world than who wins or who loses and more important things than sports like family and yes dogs are family, all they want is to be with you no matter if you ate happy or sad, all they want is to be next to you and comfort you and give you all their love. We humans should learn from them and if we were just 50% like them,half the worlds issues and problems would be gone as we would see what truly is important in life. God you just got received another one of your beautiful creations, please keep Ben safe. RIP Ben and thank you for adding to this old man's life and thank you Kirk also.

[@cjfishtales2238]

LSU fan here. Losing Saban ultimately added to the Bama rivalry. Those first ten years were bitter, though. In time, the respect and admiration for what he created at Bama overcame the bitterness. He reminded me of Skip Bertman . What Skip accomplished at LSU in baseball was amazing. Skip was not only good for LSU. He was good for the SEC and the sport overall. A rising tide lifts all boats. Skip always talked about, "the system " Saban always talked about " the process " . Both were men of great vision.
