i'm sure he was talking about those pesky ragin' cajuns over in lafayette.![]()
He's beating the drums for the LSU faithful. Apparently Saban's hire and subsequent recruiting drive have dampened Tiger enthusiasm.![]()
I wouldn't say that. Saban's hire has stirred some emotion with some fans. However, Tiger enthusiasm cannot be dampend. We play big time football and have a loyal fan base, just like Alabama.
CNS recruited well, considering the late start he got. But we still had a great class.
Again, hiring CNS was a great move for Bama, and while some may have hard feelings, I would not expect us to roll over now that he's on the Capstone.
And with all due respect, CNS took a cheap shot too, with the coonass story. Not by calling us coonasses, that's not something most of us take offense to, but by making a joke out of the tiger faithfull being disapointed that he would be coaching against us.
This is a bit silly. This is hard -hitting smash yer face knock you out FOOTBALL. Of course the coaches are gonna fire shots over the bow in the off season.
Gotta give the boosters some rhetoric to fawn over. From Tubby's thumb, to Miles f'ing Bama, to Saban snipping about LSU... it's part of the game.
Lotta great coaches in the SEC, and tons of pride. Just wait until the ol' ball coach comes back from the golf courses and starts mocking Auburn again...
Now TideinMiss has some good points in Les just might be firing those shots a bit prematurely.
Lester's putting an awfull lot of stock in the Bama game.
That might be fine for some summer fodder, but come gameday, the pressure will be on him.
And, while LSU fans can be understanding, I'm sure that they will be banking on him to come through with his promise.
As Ron Franklin likes to say...
"Here's the situation..."
In my opinion, it would be easier for Lester to come through with his promise if they were playing Bama near the beginning of the season. That's why our games with Arkansas, FSU, and, yes, even Vandy can be worrisome, being we'll be breaking in a new system.
However, LSU plays Bama near the end of the season, and history has it that Coach Saban's teams in his first season start to gell towrds the end of the year.
We'll see. But, the more Lester runs his mouth, the more he's going to have to put down a deposit guaranteeing Tiger fans a victory.
As the old proverb says...
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool that to speak and remove all doubt"![]()
Difference is Saban's remark wasn't meant for public consumption, Miles KNEW his was going to be printed.
Actually Saban was talking directly to reporters. Miles was talking to fans at a fan event that reporters were not supposed to be allowed into. The campus newspaper reporter crashed it as a "student."Difference is Saban's remark wasn't meant for public consumption, Miles KNEW his was going to be printed.
