Nick Saban on Friday: Texas A&M pipes in crowd noise

COLLEGE STATION – Former Alabama coach Nick Saban won five of six games that he played with his teams at Kyle Field here at Texas A&M in his storied career with the Crimson Tide. But that doesn’t mean that he was a fan of the Aggie antics that tend to contribute to the aura of the 12th man.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Saban claimed that Texas A&M pipes artificial noise into Kyle Field during games. The Miami Hurricanes could have to contend with that extra noise in their college football playoff game against Texas A&M at noon Saturday.

“I did more complaining to the SEC office — it was more than complaining that I don’t really want to say on this show — about, this is the noisiest place. Plus they pipe in noise,” Saban said. “They pipe in noise. You can’t hear yourself think when you’re playing out there and it is a huge advantage when they play at home, especially for their defense, especially getting off the spot.”

The Aggies are 12-2 at Kyle Field over the last two seasons and have lost just one home game since Aug. 31, 2024. They come into Saturday’s gamewith a 11-1 record that is built on seven home victories.

So if Miami is going to win, it will have to overcome a lot of noise and a lot of mystique.
