re: Saban is targeting LSU

LSU let the glorious Skip Bertman run saban off.

I take it that you were not an adult back in December of 2004. Anyone who was, and followed LSU football, knows you are wrong.

I understand it makes you feel special to think he hates only LSU, but he does this to everybody. He was never in love with you. Get over it.

You guys are all missing the target here. It’s really not complicated at all if you look at the situation logically.

Saban does target LSU, but it isn’t because of any love or hate. It’s because we’re a divisional threat if we get all of the top LA talent. Combine that with his success and his long-running connections in this state, and you get a particular focus on top LA talent. He knows we depend on LA players and he can get them if we’re down. It’s a win-win for him any time he pulls one we are fighting him for.

Saban hit LA hard in our last transition year for the 2017 class. That was no accident or coincidence. He saw an opening and struck, and that wasn’t even as difficult of a transition as this has been. No portal. No ESD, which gave O more time to try and rally on some guys. But it was still brutal considering how much those players have contributed to their recent success.

With the more difficult situation this year and so little time before ESD, Saban really cleaned up. I think things will turn around next year and Kelly could have the proverbial wall back up in two if he handles his business properly on and off the field. But what’s going on right now should be no mystery to anyone who’s paying attention.
