Legendary former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban had a front row seat on Saturday morning for a lovely rendition of "Dixieland Delight" from Tennessee Vols fans in front of the ESPN College GameDay set.

Saban, of course, is quite familiar with the song (which is about a Tennessee Saturday night) as it's weirdly played before the fourth quarter of Alabama football games.

Before College GameDay in Knoxville went live on Saturday morning, Vols fans collectively sang "Dixieland Delight", which was captured on camera by Pat McAfee.

Vols fans, as expected, included the "f--- Bama" lyric, which drew a sly smile from Saban.

Tennessee Vols fans are hype for the Georgia Bulldogs game

College GameDay is in Knoxville for Tennessee's huge showdown against the Georgia Bulldogs. It's the first time that GameDay has been on Rocky Top since 2022 when Tennessee took down Alabama.

Vols fans, unsurprisingly, brought the energy early on Saturday morning.

Tennessee and Georgia will kick off at 3:30 PM ET on Saturday.
