Most of the LSU population are PO'ed at Saban. But what is driving the anger? Is it he left then came back to college for a different team? Or is it he said "He would not be the coach at Alabama" and now is the coach?
Living in S'port I'm right in the middle of the outrage. I was cussed out at a Circle K on Line Avenue in S'port, LA by an LSU fan the other morning. She took one look at my Bama tag on the front of my truck and went into a profane rage at me. Keep in mind I hadn't looked at or said one word to the woman before she did this. She got my attention REAL quick.
I asked a scorned LSU buddy of mine if Saban had gone to Ole Miss or Vanderbilt would he have been this mad. Without thinking before he spoke he quickly said "not really". I made the statement that "Then it really has nothing to do with whether he "lied" or not then does it? It really has nothing to do with his "character". Because the majority of the people that has ever walked the face of this earth (at one point or another) has told someone a bold face lie."
The look on his face revealed the root of his anger. You see he told the truth when he admitted that it wouldn'thave bothered him if Saban would have gone to Ole Miss. The anger is coming from the fact that Saban is coaching at a school that can pose a real threat to LSU. It is like an ex girlfriend breaking up with you and instead of going out with an "ugly" guy she goes out with another guy that is "in your league", in your "neighborhood."
The game is still won on the field. Not in a press conference at the University of Alabama announcing Nick Saban. I consider the LSU Tigers the favorite to beat us in 2007. They are the strongest team in the SEC hands down in my opinion.
But with the hiring of Saban it just got much much tougher and will take a lot more effort with the REAL possibility of getting beat. THAT'S what I believe the LSU Fans are ....ed about.
