The Alabama Crimson Tide surprisingly found themselves at the center of the college football universe this past weekend when it was announced that College GameDay would be in town for their rematch game against the Vanderbilt Commodores after last year’s shocking loss.

With the impressive start for Vanderbilt that led to them being ranked, a game that used to feel like a glorified cupcake now all of the sudden had a big-game feel to it. When the announcement of the guest picker was named to be comedian Theo Von — who has a close relationship with Commodores QB Diego Pavia — some were upset.

After the fact though, despite his rooting for Vanderbilt, it sounds like Von absolutely loved his experience in Tuscaloosa and had nothing but extremely positive things to say about the University of Alabama:

“Alabama, it is amazing,” Von said when asked about preferential treatment shown to the SEC. “We were upstairs looking out over the campus…just the attire when you’re pulling up on campus and you see people walking in their. This is their Saturday best to a T. That was one of the most picturesque things I’ve ever been a part of to be honest with you.

“It was the most welcoming…it was exceptional, just the treatment, it was all perfect…they’re protecting something there that means something to them, and they show up and you feel that. I felt like a visitor, and I felt like the most welcomed visitor that could be there.”
