“We’re all talking two weeks ago about how much difference the fans and crowds going to make to the LSU people. Well, LSU played well in front of 62,000 of our people and then turned around and went home and played a 1-4 Kentucky team at noon with 95,000 people there. You want to talk about an elite program? That’s one. I don’t know about this place.

Maybe he's not so bad after all

Did the WVU fans boo one of their players as well?

He's just kissing the SEC's butt right now. I think he knows what he's doing.

He's talking about how their stands were relatively empty, especially the student section, for their Bowling Green game. Made their school look bad on TV.

Saban did this when he first came to LSU as well. Not sure if it was his introductory press conference or shortly after he took the job, but A reporter asked a question along the lines of how intimidating an evironment Tiger Stadium was. Saban responded that he heard all you have to do is get an early lead on LSU and the fans folded.

Sometimes you just have to call 'em like you see 'em.

We would not be LSU if we didn't boo JJ. I didn't boo and I don't agree with it, but it is part of being a tiger fan.

People who are passionate get a bum rap sometimes.

Like you I wouldn't boo, but as soon as they mentioned Jefferson was coming into the game, I knew the fans were going to boo. We're not very complicated. The same passion that gets brought to the game and can intimidate opposing teams, is the same passion that got fired off at Miles and Jefferson. There's a lot of emotion invested in this team by its fans, and when that is shaken it gets ugly. In some instances it adds charm, and it adds to the mystique of DV, but at the same time it can get very ugly.
