Quasi Official - Saban bury the hatchet thread!

My feelings are just like Red's, especially regarding the maturity part of it.

Plus, how did he downgrade your heritage? I think you are looking for a way to support your hatred.

 

EXACTLY! :thumb:

 

I think he's refering to the "coonass" remark.

To me, he wasn't downplaying our heritige so much as making fun of the fact that a large part of the Tiger fanbase felt hurt that he would be at Bama.

Just another example of his not giving a damn about LSU or it's fanbase.

 

My point being it shouldn't be offensive to him seeing how he has "coonazz" in his profile.

 

To quote the god of bama football, "If you're not with us, you're against us"

Really though, Football is fun, and him being at bama just spices it up and makes it another subplot, raising interest and attention to both LSU and Bama, and that's a good thing.

For me, it's all in fun.

 

I don't give a chit who the head coach at Alabama is. I hope they fail miserably at everything.

 

i never thought the "coonass" remark was a big deal. we all use that word and tell jokes about it too.

but then again, i'm not a "coonass" so maybe i shouldn't comment on it.

but it's really simple: if you ain't a tiger, you're tiger bait!!

 

that pretty well sums it up for me.

 

Just like any other 'racial' term it's not really pc if you aren't one
Totally agree and applaud your final comment... that's even more accurate than '42' for the answer to life the universe and everything.

 

I've only ran across one person in my life that found the word offensive. He was a Penn St. grad, African-American heritage.

While I am not one that would be caught using that term in the presence of reporters, it bears note he was telling a story about a guy at LSU. That doesn't excuse a thing to those that find it offensive, but I *think* we can all agree the reporter who published it thought he had found his "hook" to get his name in the national spotlight.

The audio is here.

What's worse? The term "coonass" when telling a story or profanity in a speech that is known to offend people of all heritages?
