Pre-Game Pep Talk by Miles

I had a brain storm...I know he's the master motivator, and know all, see all, of adversity. But what if Miles had the video guys, make a highlight tape of all the great plays against Bama, in the past. And at the end, and sever low lights of all the bad plays, miss-assignments screw-ups by our Defense and offense, this year...Then as he was about to walk out the door, have the Saban clip, where he bad mouthed Louisiana and "Those Cajun People". I feel a snot bubble festering.

Here's what Satan said.

Saban tells story of "coonass" Cajuns

Nick Saban is backpedaling after telling a joke in which he referred to a Cajun as a "coonass".

Saban, a former LSU and Miami Dolphins coach, used an ethnic slur Jan. 3 while telling Florida reporters in Tuscaloosa an anecdote about an LSU fan's angry reaction to his hiring.

When asked about the LSU fans' reaction, Saban related a phone call from a friend on the LSU board of trustees, whom he did not name. In what seemed to be an attempt at humor, Saban told of the friend's encounter with an LSU fan, who speaks in a Cajun dialect.

"He was walking down the street yesterday before the Sugar Bowl," Saban said on the taped comments. "He calls me. There was a guy working in the ditch, one of those coonass guys that talk funny.

"I can't talk like them, but he can. Most people in Louisiana can."

Continuing to tell the story, Saban then quoted the worker's vulgar comment about Saban going to Alabama.
