Nick Saban had 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 shaded the former Alabama coach for his earlier remarks about the school’s football program.

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

“And that’s no disrespect to them, it’s the truth.”

Intentions aside, Vanderbilt fans took offense and Dunne added salt to the wound when he picked the Commodores to beat them. South Carolina home.

“Someone once said Vanderbilt is the easiest place to play in the SEC, but not today. I’m going with Vanderbilt,” Dunne said.

VANDERBILT STUNS TOP-RANKED ALABAMA TO SECURE FIRST WIN FOR NO. 1 TEAM

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

Fans stormed the pitch and eventually tore down a goalpost and dragged it out of the stadium and across town before throwing it into the Cumberland River. But before he made his exit, Saban’s September comments were played on the jumbotron.

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