08:28 AM ET 11.03 | With tickets heading north of five figures, sorting out a program's allotment for Alabama-LSU is no small feat. [Nick Saban's administrative assistant, Linda Leoni is] handling ticket requests and lodging accommodations for the Saban family, and as you might imagine, the demand is overwhelming. In a normal week, there might be 30 friends and family members coming in for a game. But this week, that number has swelled to 143. ... This game is so big that even some of Saban's former players at LSU have been calling and asking for tickets. "I tell them, 'I can't put you in the Alabama section if you're going to be cheering for LSU,'" Leoni said. "They say, 'No, we're fans of Coach Saban.'"
