RR's Mother asks Saban to sign football "Geaux Tigers"?

From article in today's T-P (Peter Finney column):
"...He told the story of life on the recruiting trail, about a recent visit with a Bastrop blue-chipper whose mother asked Saban if he would do her the favor of signing a football.
Yes, he would.
Would he mind signing, "Go Tigers"?
Why not?
"Geaux Tigers," wrote the Alabama coach, the ultimate diplomat."
I didn't see the article on NOLA.com yet, so I can't post a link. It was at the very end of the article.
Would seem to be a good sign to me that the recruit's mother wanted "Geaux Tigers". The question would be, is this RR he's talking about?

Is there any other websites that might have this article?

When I went to the Spring game this year there were many LSU fans waiting in line after practice to get het his autograph on LSU things. I saw plenty of people there wearing P&G with footballs and Sports Illustrated magazines for the NC he won. They waited in line like everybody else and he signed it Geaux Tigers.

I emailed DD about it and he responded:
So who knows it might be true. Doubt it though.

I do not believe Saban wrote Geaux Tigers unless he wrote it when he was at LSU.

The thought of the mighty Saban sucking up to a 17 year old high schooler and his Mom is freakin' hilarious. Posted on 12/28/08 at 3:16 pm to Tiger_n_ATL
It's not so hard to believe. Remember, he loves LSU!
