Crimson and White (House)

This is one of the University of Alabama pictures from yesterday's visit to the White House (just to make sure I give the appropriate credit).

What's the most surprising thing in this photo?
1) Alabama being back for the second time in three years.
2) The players looking pretty good, although it's a shame Jesse Williams ins't in the front row with his neon green tie and mohawk.
3) Proof that Nick Saban can smile.

So what caused such a reaction? Here's the transcript from the White House:


THE PRESIDENT: Now, that's a nice-looking jersey right there. (Laughter and applause.)
COACH SABAN: From the 2011 national champs. (Applause.) We would also like to give you a helmet over here. We certainly don't want to be responsible for any head injuries that the President might have. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: I was mentioning yesterday, I’m probably going to need a helmet between now and November.
