A pair of Alabama legends hung out today on the golf course.
Sydney Thomas and Nick Saban are at the same golf event on Monday, and while we're not sure where they were, it's clearly sunny and beautiful. You can tell that by the pictures Thomas posted of the two of them together. Saban, obviously, is the legendary former head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, while Thomas, who burst onto the scene as the ring girl at the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight in November, is currently a University of Alabama student.
The two probably had plenty to chat about when they ran into each other today.
"out on the course today with the GOAT #rolltide," Thomas wrote alongside her photo with Saban.

Not surprisingly, there have been a slew of jokes made about Saban being the unidentified SEC coach who slid into Thomas' DMs recently.
The blonde beauty talked about this briefly during a recent appearance on the "Like A Farmer" podcast.
"It was from another SEC football team coach. And they just DM'd me, 'Roll Tide,'" Thomas said. "So I'm not going to say what coach it was, but they're an Alabama fan, now at least. We'll let everyone else figure that out for themselves, who it was."
Pretty much everyone thought it was Lane Kiffin, but now there's Saban jokes flying. For the record, we don't think it was Nick. Miss Terry would be fuming.
Thomas had a huge end to her 2024, as she became a household name with her Tyson-Paul appearance. Since then, the Alabama co-ed has said her ultimate goal is to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
As for Saban, he spent this season, his first in retirement, on the set of ESPN's College GameDay. The seven-time national champion drew excellent reviews for his broadcasting work.
Saban is still best known for his coaching, which will be recognized when he's inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2025, an honor he was informed about while on the set for GameDay before Friday's Cotton Bowl between Ohio State and Texas.
