Nick Saban and Tua Tagovailoa are two of the most recognizable figures in college football right now. And with that comes immense popularity.
On Saturday, Alabama hosted an autograph session for fans, as players and coaches spent time signing posters, footballs, helmets and other merchandise for the Crimson Tide faithful. But there were no two people quite as popular as the head coach and the quarterback.
That’s usually the case anyway, but when the head coach has won six national championships and the quarterback is a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, the popularity magnifies.
Here’s a look at the autograph line for both Saban and Tagovailoa. The line for Tagovailoa is pretty long, but the one for Saban appears to stretch 75-80 yards.
The line for Tua’s autograph is absurd. But not as absurd as Saban’s. pic.twitter.com/QzzSUgD0J5

Both Saban and Tagovailoa may need the day off tomorrow just to rest their wrists. That’s a whole lot of signing.
