Nick Saban was forced to relive his unfortunate comments about Vanderbilt again this week.

LSU national champion gymnast Livvy Dunne and her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes, joined the cast of ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday as this week’s celebrity pickers, and it was Dunne who upstaged the former Alabama coach for his previous comments about the school’s football program.

“The only place you play in the SEC that’s not hard to play is Vanderbilt. Because when you play Vanderbilt, you have more fans there than they do,” Saban said during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” in September.

“And that’s not disrespectful, it’s the truth.”

Intentions aside, Vanderbilt fans were offended, and Dunne added insult to injury when he picked the Commodores to beat. South Carolina at home.

“Someone once said Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC, but not today. I’ll take Vanderbilt,” Dunne said.

VANDERBILT SURPRISES TOP-RANKED ALABAMA, SECURING COMMODORES’ FIRST WIN OVER NO. 1 TEAM

Saban’s comments quickly backfired last month when Vanderbilt Alabama bothers, 40-53, for their first victory over the Crimson Tide since 1984.

Fans stormed the field and eventually knocked down a goal post and carried it out of the stadium and around the city before throwing it into the Cumberland River. But before leaving, Saban’s comments from September were played on the jumbotron.

Vanderbilt is back in the Top 25 after a big road win at Auburn made the Commodores eligible for their first bowl game since the 2018 season, but a win on Saturday would also make South Carolina eligible.
