re: Being objective.. why do LSU fans hate or dislike

Its different about Steve Spurrier. He went to Florida and won a Heisman Trophy for Florida. He coached at Florida for over 10 years and brought them countless SEC titles. He went on to coach the Redskins, and went to South Carolina, who hasnt really won anything, and isnt exactly Florida's big rivalry. Now Bama is one of our main rivalries and a lot of us Tiger fans hate Bama, that is why we can't see wait to see Candyman Saban go down on Saturday afternoon.
IF YOU AINT A TIGER, THEN YOU TIGER BAIT!

Either you're with us or you're against us. Do you want to take a stab at which one Nick Saban is?

Could it be that they introduced him at the Alabama/LSU basketball game, could it be that he announce on Christmas day... merry forking christmas, could it be that he tells his coaches by email, could it be that he says he has doubts about taking the LSU job on the flight down here, could it be that oh never mind if you don't get it by now you never will.

I remember reading somewhere that in hindsight, he never really wanted to go to Miami but the Dolphins owner basically did a good sales job

If he didn't want to go, he wouldn't have!
I don't hate him, I just don't like or respect him as a human being. He's a very good coach but he's an even bigger sleazebag.
It's as if you (LSU) were married to a beautiful woman (Saban) and you gave her everything she asked for. She lacked nothing financially, emotionally or in physical comforts. She constantly told you how happy she was and that there was no other man she'd rather be with.
And then she starts having an affair with the doctor down the street who makes a little more money than you do, who promises her bigger diamonds and trips to Monaco and the French Riviera with Beluga caviar instead of the very nice but less gaudy things you give her. All the time you suspect something's up and you ask her about it and she denies it.
Then one day you come home to find she's packed up and run off with him. Two years later she decides that she made a mistake. She can't come back to you because you've remarried an equally or more beautiful woman. So your ex decides to take up with your next door neighbor who just lost his wife. And in public she professes to everyone that she still loves you and wishes you well but does everything possible to wreck your marriage and your business.
That bitch is Nick Saban!
And yes, I resent him going to Bama because I know he is going to be successful there and in doing so represents a direct threat to LSU's success. But I especially resent him taking credit for LM's success and his recruiting tactics in La. Recruits are fair game for everyone but when he uses his contacts in La. and his lying to recruits concerning LSU, it is extremely despicable! I highly doubt that Les disparages Michigan in his recruitment of players both LSU and Mich. are pursuing.
In my book, Nick the Prick has no honor or integrity whatsoever and if that's ok with you my friend, then that doesn't speak very well of you as a person either!

Nick Saban is a great coach, probably the best college coach there is today.

But he is the epitome of self seeking, selfish motives. And the problem is that a lot of people in this world see nothing wrong with being that way. They think being selfless is a weakness. They are the same kind of people that consequently see being kind as a weakness. They think you have to walk over your neighbor to advance and there's no other way. They also would look at your analogy as if to say, "well, your loss..."

And you can't teach or convince somebody that. It's a character thing. So therefore, some people have no problem with what Nick did.
