    I'm surprised that they are focusing on "coonass" when Saban was dropping F-bombs in the audio clip. Isn't Bama still in the bible belt?:grin:

    Maybe he just doesn't like the word. I can understand that. However most people agree that it isn't a slanderous word. I can't drive down I-10 without seeing at least one Certified Coonass sticker. If it is such a negative word why didn't the company that printed those stickers get any kind of negative pub?

    I think the joie de vivre attitude turned the negative conotations into a less-slandourous meaning. The roots are certainly negative.

    I've been one of those tired of the Saban topics but this is funny. ESPN's cold Pizza just ripped him a new one and said he should be fired over it. LOL.

    Or maybe it's because your grandfather was upper-middle class and most people were low class when the term was originated. At least that's what Wiki says.

    this is awesome. this is such a nonstory and inoffensive to most anyone from here yet is getting the negative publicity nationally i had hoped. even more than I could have hoped for.

    this can only be good for gump recruiting and their image.


    can we make a sticky saying Nick Saban hates blacks and cajuns just to instigate it further?

    however, it does magnify the stupid media and pc sensitive people in the world today.

    I knew it. Saban lied.

    WEEMS NEVER SAID DITCHDIGGER.

    That is Saban's insult.


    This is classic slime in telling a joke. In fact, it is very similar to methods used in racist jokes or stories. I'm not part of the PC Police, but do yourself a favor and recognize a JERK when you hear one!
