Game of Thrones characters as College Football programs and figures
Night King
The final comparison is the easiest. The Night King has long felt inevitable.
So has Nick Saban.
Both may have suffered some casualties along the way, but that has only been fuel to the fire as they reload with a fresh batch of heralded recruits who are ready to overrun and dominate any who dare stand in their path.
Saban and the Night King seem to take little joy from the inevitably of victory, but are sadistic along the journey as they massacre the helpless on their path of destruction.
Perhaps horrifyingly, both may have uncovered their most devastating weapons to unleash in the coming war. The Night King has Viserion, one of Daenerys’s three dragons, which he has already used to wreak havoc on the wall. Saban has Tua Tagovailoa, the first superstar quarterback of his tenure in Tuscaloosa, which makes stopping him all the more impossible of a task.
Thinking that Saban’s dynastic run at Alabama may have reached its ending is no more than wishful thinking.
The long night might be just beginning.
