The University of Alabama has been one of, if not the, top program in college football ever since Nick Saban took over as head coach in 2007, winning four national championships in that time.

With the 2017 season just around the corner, and the Crimson Tide once again a favorite to take home college football’s ultimate prize, you’d forgive Saban if he had more important things on his mind than today’s total solar eclipse, an event that has captivated the entire world.

While everyone spent today preparing to watch the event, Saban wasn’t among those ready and willing to put on a pair of special glasses to catch the event, something he spoke about Saturday after a scrimmage at the Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Per ESPN:

“I watch The Weather Channel every day. They’re already saying what it’s going to look like in every city in America. So what’s going to be significant? Watch The Weather Channel, and you’ll see what it’s going to be like in Portland, Oregon.”

But don’t go calling Saban a Scrooge and wet blanket just yet! He claimed he’d let his players go see it if they wanted.

“We’ll set it up so if the players want to go out there and get some sunglasses, I guess they can. That’s not something that I’m really that focused on right now.”

No word yet on if players got a glimpse of the eclipse, but those quotes from Saban prove definitively that he’s probably the life of the party wherever he goes.
