re: What LSU fans really think about Saban?

Saban is to LSU fans what Pitino is to Kentucky fans. The similarities of the situations mirror each other. It makes the situation much worse if you lose to the guy. I always respected what Rick did for our program, But coming back to coach your arch rival is considered out of bounds by many. I will say it's worse if you lose to the former coach. Cal has gone 7-1 head to head against him at UK, that makes the hatred across Kentucky toward Pitino much less than it was when Rick was getting the best of Gillispie and Tubby.
