I hope that the raffle goes well, because Linda and Chris A. are two of the nicest people that I have ever met! I think the tickets will be 5$ a piece for a framed 16x 20 Fonville photograph of Tiger Stadium in 1930.

Let us know when the raffle is started and how we can buy a ticket to it. :thumb:

I'll let you know....

I know that we are having a blood drive and jambalaya dinner at the Parish Hall on January 20th and will sell tickets then and probably have the drawing then too. This is all so new, since he just signed the photo today. If anyone wants more info you could email me [email protected]. :wink:

I'm going to quote from another board about the book signing....

coach saban was awed that over a thousand people showed up at the barnes and noble store in BR...he was almost in tears when my daughter told him that we were going to miss him...he hugged her and told her that lsu will be fine...nice guy....

If I would have known, I might have driven up there for it... As much as I didn't want him to leave and as mad as I was at him, he's still a class act and I will always believe that...

The guy completely turned this program around and got us a national championship and left us in excellent shape.

He is pursuing his NFL dream. I know he loves LSU and will always have a special place in his heart for LSU. I wish him luck and the best to him and his family and CONTINUED success.

Coach Saban more than books at Barnes and Nobles. My friend, Steve Kleinpeter, had a Fonville photograph of the stadium from 1930 that he presented to Coach Saban. Then when Steve told him that he really wanted his signature on a
16 x 20 of the Stadium (that he wants to raffle off for our fellow parishioner and teacher at St. Aloysius, Linda A. , who had a recent bone marrow transplant,) Nick told him to go get it. The Barnes and Noble people wanted Steve to wait, but Nick said, "No, we will do this now." The Sabans are members of our parish and very classy people. He was very nice to do that. :thumb:

I am going to really miss the Sabans.

The guy is a class act, plain and simple. I hate to see him go, but he got us a freaking championship, and I can't ask for more than that. Class act all the way. Glad to see he was well received in BR.

my girlfriend surprised me with a signed copy last night. She said that a father and son were in front of her and the son had a Miami Dolphins hat that Saban signed for him. The kid then told Saban good luck and when Saban said thanks the kid told him "your gonna need it".

I know for a fact Mrs. Saban is a class act. My girlfriend (she's now my wife) at the time worked for the family that owned Saban's house right before Saban became coach at LSU. The previous owners lived out of state and the Sabans didn't know how to work the security system, gates, cameras etc. They requested that my g/f go show them the ropes. She went and showed Mrs. Saban how to operate everything and when she left Mrs. Saban was extremely grateful and gave her a bottle of wine and a nice LSU Nike cap.

I will miss Saban but this was expected and I do hope he does well. It would be nice for a former LSU HC to win the Superbowl one day.

They were much more supportive of Saban's recent decision to take the Miami Dolphins' head coaching job than some fans in the ***** *********.com Internet chatroom, who were taking shots at the former coach.
