Alabama fans probably didn't believe their eyes when they saw a shot of Reese Phifer Hall and Bryant-Denny Stadium open a sketch on

"Saturday Night Live"

last night.

Sure enough, the NBC comedy show spoofed the Capstone in a sketch featuring host and pro wrestler

John Cena

as a Crimson Tide football player giving his final science presentation at the University of Alabama.

Why he'd do that in the school's communications building, we don't exactly know, but we'll just go with it.

Donning a Bama home jersey (No. 23), Cena plays an earnest student-athlete who says he takes academics "incredibly seriously" before giving a presentation on bananas nailed to plywood, while his fellow students focus on slightly more complicated scientific matters.

The sketch takes shots at just how much academic pressure universities with major football programs actually put on their student-athletes, as faculty members Beck Bennett and Kenan Thompson ask Cena to sign a hat and even wear facepaint during his presentation.

"Don't you expect

any

favors from us," Kenan's professor halfheartedly insists, as the professors then gush over his ridiculous experiment that pales in comparison to the work of his fellow students.

One of Cena's findings includes, "Banana is a yellow snack that monkeys eat."

Bobby Moynihan plays an Alabama coach who attempts to speed a long the presentation.

When one of the other students questions the validity of Cena's work, Bennett's professor interjects, "Are you trying to make us lose the game, nerd?"
