I just wanted to note that although most of the Nick Saban bashing is immature, for some LSU fans and others the root cause is more than just a "sour grapes" attitude. Around the time he left the Dolphins for a major LSU rival, the formerly beloved coach was recorded/quoted using an ethnic slur against "Cajuns" in the course of a disparaging anecdote. Faux pas! His excuse that the story was "off the record" didn't really mollify anyone. The man well and truly burned his bridges with a culture and fan base that had in the past embraced him.

For the record, I've never met a coonass that objected to the use of the word. <link>

But, of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't any.

That's a lousy excuse by LSU fans to hate Saban. As said by nightswimmer, I've never met a "coonass" that minded being called such. Its really just a Cajun specific name for a redneck.

I think LSU is scared to death that they'll lose to the Tide this year.

I understand. I hate Texas A&M now.

Roll Tide Roll

Though LSU has no love for Saban right now, I think most fans have moved on. Clearly things have worked out for the best - as Miles is moving the program along well.

The most I am seeing now is about the rediculous expectations at Alabama (92000 at the spring game?)...

www.brahsome.com just posted a picture of his house in Alabama... now I don't know what kind of house Urban Meyer or Charlie Weis lives in... but do you really think its this big?

Is Les Miles moving to Ann Arbor next Spring? I bet they have some really nice houses in Michigan. I keep hearing something about a Big House up there.
