I don't care if you gave $1 or millions, but special thanks to those high rollers

You cut the cancer out and bankrolled the quickest shift of power in modern day college football. I really can't thank you enough. You gave me back my spring game interest, my Summer of hope, and Fall is going to kick arse. Not only did you get the whale, but you funded him to facilitate actual change. Damn this is going to be fun.

To Lane, thank you for betting on you and betting on us. Nick is correct.

To Blake Baker, thanks for staying the course and betting on you now and in the future.

To Verge, let's Geaux! #justdifferent

Was a doubter at the lane hire at first. "Let him cook" comes to mind now. Weve a lot to look forward to.

Should have also said "To Lane and family, and the coaches that followed with him"

and also "a nod to Whit Weeks and all Weeks" (they bet on the Tigers when BK was here)

and I'm serious about that last one...think that was still a key, but honestly, that's just a hunch/observation

Crazy it took an arse beating by A&M to get the ball rolling. But it sure woke up the LSU big dogs.

The A&M fans that “took over” Tiger Stadium after that game in such classless fashion enraged every LSU booster and awoke the sleeping beast. Ironic that A&M fans created our resurrection. SEC is friked!! We comin!!

Verge wasn't lying when he said the support coming in after the Lane hire was off the charts

Yep! We're going to have to stop hating on Saban now. Maybe lower it to a strong dislike.

Main takeaway from the article:

Kiffin described his conversation with Saban as a turning point. “When I called Coach Saban and talked with him, he said, ‘You know, Lane, you'll always regret if you don't go to LSU, it's the best job in America,’”

I can never hate Saban. Even when he was crushing it at Alabama. I hated Bama, but always respected Saban as the best coach by far in college football. Maybe ever.

I appreciate the effort all the donors have given to make LSU the best
