"The atmosphere was crazy. It was another planet down there. Tuscaloosa during the football season, is not even on planet earth," said Eddie Muhammad, the father of five-star defensive tackle Eddie Goldman of Friendship Collegiate in Washington, D.C, on their recent visit to Alabama for the LSU game.
"Nick Saban is like a president down there. You could bring the most popular person on the planet down there, and people would only care about Nick Saban."
This was only the second official visit for Eddie. The first was to Florida State for the Oklahoma game.
"We have been to two of the biggest games in the last couple years of college football. There was no bigger game up to the FSU-OU game, and no bigger game to up this point for Alabama-LSU."
Both official visits provided Goldman with that "crazy," "out of this world" atmosphere, but the major difference between his visit to Tuscaloosa and Tallahassee?
"It's just a different culture down there [Alabama]. How they use the term "Roll Tide" and it's just a way of life. And even though Jimbo Fisher has come off of Nick Saban's coaching staff, it's the mystique of Nick Saban."
"He is probably one of the best college coaches of all times." but once you talk to him its just like any other coach."
"His presentation was so good that its hard to disagree with him."
He went on to say that Eddie is not favoring one over the other, and they certainly are not ready to checkout just yet.
"He still has three more officials to go to. He definitely wants to see Auburn and he still wants to see The U."
There was speculation that the Goldman family would attend the Miami-FSU game this weekend, but according to pop, "that's just talk."
"We are not sure yet because it is hard for us to travel every weekend. He would like to go see Miami, but we need to just see."
