It feels ALMOST like the year that Saban was hired. You just KNEW something big was coming.
That's why unless our hire is painfully bad, I won't be saying shite about him till I see product.
Hell. It is arguable that on the day they were hired, fans were happier about hallman than about Saban.

Not in MY family. And my uncle was good friends with Dinardo. Loved the guy a whole lot. I remember him saying that he had to be impressed with the new hire. I also remember him saying to me "Have YOU heard anything? Cause he better be a good one". His golfing buddy was leaving.
Once Saban was announced, there was a silence in the groups I hung around with because he wasn't a BAD choice....it's just that we had whooped MichSt. in the bowl game prior to it. So, some people were skeptical. But those who watched him build up the MichSt. team knew that he WAS a builder. And LSU needed rebuilding.
The program is in a much better position than that era. This hire has to be big. With a ton of buzz around it. If Alleva f's this opportunity up, THEN we will have something to complain about.

What site were you on in 1991 & 1999 that you were able to get such a definitive outlook on the fanbases attitude?

Absolutely. He had beaten Auburn and Fla State. That was 4 miserable years. I was at 58-3.
