Then you missed it.
Saban seemed to want to downplay the LSU "rivalry". He also seemed to want to inject himself into LSU's success -- "we had great athletes when I was there." It was weird.

I took it that the repeated LSU questions irritated him, rather than anything particular to Steele. Afterall it's not like Steele made a lateral move like Chavis stupidly did. (Think Chavis regrets that? )

Yeah, it's become a "little bit of a rivalry" alright.

I don't know. I think he's past his prime. He's under less pressure there and ridiculously compensated. He did good things when he was with LSU, don't want to be too sour grapes, but I wasn't displeased with the change once we knew the new staff.

Spot on. It also seemed to me like he caught himself mid rant to give Steele a little acknowledgment as if he just realized the question being asked and didn't want to sound like a complete dick...

We can only guess he did but we had to google or Yahoo what they looked like. It was only him we saw every week. You couldn't get much info about them if I remember correctly.
