Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen, is ready for Alabama’s upcoming Sugar Bowl appearance. She was seen getting the party started early as she celebrated her birthday in New Orleans.
Kristen posted a story to her Instagram story as she toasts to the birthday adventures.
The story kicks off with a picture of her leaving the Tuscaloosa airport on a private jet as she makes her way to The Big Easy. She then aptly makes a stop at legendary New Orleans bar Pat O’Brien’s to kick off the festivities. And the hurricanes are flowing in the French Quarter.
She takes a moment to break from the Bourbon Street bash to post a photo commemorating another successful trip around the sun.
A selfie reads, “IDK about you, but I’m feeling 32,” a play on the Taylor Swift hit, “22.” She goes on to say that she “wishes it were 22, but here we are.”
Then, the party continues.
Kristen Saban Setas will likely stay in NOLA as her father’s Crimson Tide gear up for a Saturday night matchup against Kansas State in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama will look to cap yet another double-digit win season with a convincing victory over the Big XII champs.
While the Tide missed out on another opportunity at a national title, the season was still a successful one. Both of Bama’s losses came on the final play of the game as the team narrowly missed out on an SEC Championship appearance. Those losses came on a last second field goal to Tennessee in Knoxville and a late two-point conversion against rival LSU.
The Sugar Bowl appearance marks the program’s 19th consecutive bowl appearance as the Tide have won 10 games or more every season since 2008. That ’08 campaign was Nick Saban’s second at the helm.
Alabama will hope to close out the year strong with a postseason victory. Win or lose, it looks like Kristen Saban will have a good time hanging out in the Big Easy.
