Like when the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano, the time-honored “Running of the Gumps” is an event that truly marks the turn of a new season. This now annual event where, in the past, Bama fans have thrown caution to the wind and general safety concerns for newborns to the wayside for the chance to have Nick Saban sign anything and everything. This year’s Fan Day, as you can see from the video above, was a noticeably more reserved and, dare we say, civilized event.
