ForeverLSU,

Just want to say, good luck in the SECCG, and I hope all of this crap doesn't hurt LSU's performance. Please beat those inbred mountain goats in those hideous orange uniforms.

I'm not even close to being in denial...just bored and came here to see what was being said. Another Bama fan put me on to this site because it's so entertaining, AND HE WAS RIGHT, it IS!

First of all, it doesn't matter if Saban cares what the media thinks. Charles Manson doesn't care what the media thinks either, but they portray him as a crazed lunatic, and the world knows that by his actions plus media portrayal that he is, indeed, a crazed lunatic. So it doesn't matter - the perception by everyone is still valid, and the perception of Saban will be that he's a flake - period. Perception is 9/10 of reality in most people's minds, so this will effect the college football world's (future players, etc) perception of him. Whether he cares or not doesn't matter - the damage will still be done.

Alabama hired Saban based on his college coaching performance, which was pretty dang good when he left LSU. So the odds were pretty good that he is a good coach. HOWEVER, LSU will be going on the knowledge that he was 6-6 at Alabama this year, so what he did at Alabama IS relevant. Shula's players or not, no one looks at that. So you hire a 6-6 coach for 3 mil? We thought we hired a true winner for 4 mil. this year. If he'd been 6-6 his last year at LSU, I wonder if anyone would have considered him - probably not.

If LSU takes him off our hands, then we look like we dodged a bullet, you dolt. Everyone is laughing at us for paying him 4 mil a year and getting a 6-6 record...so what does that say for YOU if you go after him? That you're bigger whores than us, and dumber. We have no buy-out clause, and it helps Alabama as much has him. They don't have to pay him another cent.

And Baton Rouge is the promised land? Ok...I guess that depends on your point of view. Personally, I don't like 300% humidity, swampland, and mosquitos bigger than a house, but to each his own.

PitBull,

I said we ALL don't drink the Sabanaid. Some obviously do, but I'm not one of them, and you'd probably be surprised how many don't. A lot of us are still very skeptical about this guy. So my statement was quite accurate.

I want to ask a question, and I'm seriously curious about this: How do you know that Saban is miserable at Alabama? Give me credible sources, not somebody told someone's cousin who told somebody else. I'm not saying he's not, I just want to know when he said it and to whom, otherwise, it's just another rumor. And don't tell me "you can just tell by looking at him". You people are sounding like a jilted lover who will always believe that "he always loved you best -just BECAUSE", regardless of the obvious fact that he's moved on. Do you know how silly that sounds? From what I've picked up about Saban, he makes his home wherever he is and doesn't fall in love with any place. He just does his job, which he loves best. I know the BOT at Bama can be a pill to deal with, but it's my understanding that they've backed off a lot and given him more free reign than any coach ever hired there. His wife gushes about how much she loves their home in T-Town, and they're very involved in the community there. They don't look unhappy to me, but I'm NOT saying they aren't. Because if he doesn't want to be there, most Bama fans will tell you LET HIM GO, AND GOOD RIDDANCE. We don't all drink the Sabanaid up here. We've been down that road (Francione) and if we even smell that sort of sentiment, we lose interest real fast and we'll load him up and dump him in B.R. for ya. He's not God, after all. Only serious answers please, because I'm not flaming - AND I'm pulling for the Tigers to win the SECCG,so I'm not a hater.
