Olivia Dunne shades Nick Saban over Vanderbilt Commodores remarks on ESPN's 'College GameDay'

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA: Louisiana State University gymnast Olivia Dunne didn't shy away from throwing some shade at former Alabama head coach Nick Saban over comments he made about Vanderbilt Commodores during the Saturday, November 9 broadcast of ESPN’s 'College GameDay'. 

Celebrity guest pickers Dunne and Paul Skenes joined the 'College GameDay' crew as they were in Baton Rouge for the LSU Tigers vs Alabama Crimson Tide SEC showdown, as per Sports Illustrated. 

The 22-year-old is the first college athlete to be named a celebrity guest picker since Marcus Smart in 2013. 

Olivia Dunne's remarks on College GameDay

When the predictions for the Vanderbilt Commodores and South Carolina Gamecocks came up, Olivia Dunne looked at Nick Saban and said, "Someone once said that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC. But not today. I’m going with Vanderbilt."

Back in September, Saban had called out Commodores fans for not turning up at their team's games during the construction of a new stadium.

He remarked, "The only place you play in the SEC that’s not hard to play in is Vanderbilt… when you play at Vanderbilt, you have more fans there than they have." 

However, it did not bother the Vanderbilt team much, as they managed to get the better of Alabama in a game weeks later on October 5.

While Dunne might have been on their side, the Commodores unfortunately lost 28-7 to the Gamecocks during Saturday's clash.
