Alabama fell to Oklahoma in Norman, losing 24-3, to fall to 8-3 on the year. While Kalen DeBoer’s team struggled on the field, Nick Saban’s oldest daughter, Kristen, was really struggling off of it, announcing a devastating personal loss. The daughter of the legendary Alabama Crimson Tide head coach, who won seven national titles, announced the loss of her “first baby.”

Kristen Saban announced the difficult news on Sunday afternoon, following the Alabama game.

“I had to say goodbye to my first baby yesterday after 14 years of the most magical companionship. If you knew Gunner, you loved him as much as I did. He was my little light of joy that I connected with from the moment I saw him. All dogs go to heaven, and I’m so thankful for the time spent together, a lot of it in my arms. I couldn’t have asked for a better pup. I’ll miss you forever, Gunnies.A massive thank you to everyone at @cahabamountainbrookac who cared for Gun over the last 8 years of being here in Birmingham. Angels,” she wrote on Instagram.
