Joe Alleva issues letter of apology for "frick you Saban" chant.

"I'd like to once again thank our fans for their incredible support of our team in last Saturday's game with Alabama. The Tigers played with tremendous heart and passion, and our fans played a huge role in inspiring a performance of which we can all be very proud.
Unfortunately, a small minority of people chose to diminish the image of our great university by engaging in a profane chant directed toward Coach (Nick) Saban. We are deeply sorry that such crude behavior occurred in Tiger Stadium, because that is the antithesis of what we represent at LSU.
If it occurs in the future, we will make every effort to identify those who choose to act in this manner and make sure they know they are no longer welcome in our stadium. Our hope, however, is that this will never happen again.
Best wishes to Coach Miles and the Tigers for a strong finish to this season, and we sincerely appreciate the pride they instill in LSU fans each Saturday. And, thanks again to the best fans in the nation for their continued support of the Tigers!"

Well frick him too. He's neutered the band and the stadium experience.

It really is upsetting, not that our students used vulgarity, but that they used it towards a man we should be thankful to for bringing our program to the top

It's pretty easy how to identify... Just look at the names of every male student that was issued tickets before season and likely many females

Nah frick him but I get why he apologized since it was extremely audible on TV.

I hate this fricking doormat
If this wasn't the last home game I'd start a "frick Alleva" Chant
Seriously why do we have this guy? The most notable thing he has ever done is botch the Duke lacrosse scandal.

Children will be children. I think they were probably too young to even remember him.

That's not really factually accurate..

Thankful for a guy that designs his team specifically to beat LSU per his own words? That includes Louisiana recruiting. Thanks for the past but he is the enemy now. Not agreeing with the chanting though.

Every generation has done the same before this one. Quit acting like those before this group were angels.

What's stupid is these students hadn't even hit puberty when Saban was coaching here... They are self-entitled spoiled brats who haven't earned shite as a fan.

No more games. The F U Joe chants will have to wait for next year.

...Going to a football game is not a right. It's a privilege.
Ask Ohio State students. They don't have a student section in Columbus.
If they can't act like adults and act appropriately, either require that they sit next to their parents for adult supervision...or eliminate the student section.

He had a letter last year that said that also .. or some recent season. How are they going to track you down other than friends telling?
And for the record, I hate the chant ... but how are they gonna "get you"??

SOLUTION: Ban all students... Sell those 15,000 seats for 1000 bucks a year = 15 million more a year into the coffers... Turn lemons into lemonade... Who cares about the game experience. It's about the money.
