"Hi Alabama fans, it's Ms. Terry. As you know, College GameDay is coming to Tuscaloosa this Saturday for the Georgia-Alabama game, and I'm excited to be the guest picker," Ms. Terry said in the video above. "So we need all Crimson Tide fans to come to Denny Chimes on Saturday morning. I've already been working on my picks, and I think I'm going to beat Nick [Saban]. I'll see you there!"

A bit after his retirement on Jan. 10, Nick Saban, who won six National Championships at Alabama, joined ESPN's College GameDay as an analyst. He will be joined by his wife on Saturday morning.

Ms. Terry's impact over the years on the Crimson Tide football team but also the city of Tuscaloosa has certainly been recognized. Many former Alabama players have been outspoken about Ms. Terry in the past including Detroit Lions rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold.

"Well, you know her and Terrion are really, kind of, buddies," Nick Saban said last season. "So I know she sort of texts with him and all that and I kind of get on them. So it's just like raising your children. I'm the guy that's always trying to get them to do right. She's the momma who's always trying to make them happy. That's the way it's been for a long time."

Ms. Terry will likely join Saban during the GameDay Picks segment at around 10:45 a.m. CT on ESPN.

No. 4 Alabama football will play its first SEC matchup of the season against No. 2 Georgia at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
