An LSU Fan's Perspective

[swamptroll]

I'm just trying to understand why LSU fans are so upset that Saban came to Alabama.

LSU fans are angry at Saban for coming to Alabama because we are division rivals, not because they wanted him back at LSU, right? I guess I'm confused because the reaction of so many LSU fans seems so intense, like they are talking it so personally. Also, I don't remember the same kind of reaction coming from Florida when Spurrier left the Redskins and became coach at South Carolina.

For example (and it hurts to say this but I'm just trying to make a point), if Coach Stallings had gone to coach the Cowboys after winning the National Championship at Alabama, and after a few years, decided to take an open coaching position at Auburn, I wouldn't react with the same venom and hatred that seems to be coming from many LSU fans, provided that Alabama had a good coach at the time Auburn hired Coach Stallings. LSU has a very good coach with Les Miles, and they weren't looking when Alabama hired Coach Saban, so I guess I just don't understand the reaction from LSU fans.

i have to agree with you. i don't understand it either. really, i don't understand south florida's obsession with hating CNS. however i do understand my desire to throw darts at don shula's head.
