That's also the reason I'm not a Contributor yet. And from how I've seen new people treated around here, I wouldn't count on me becoming one anytime soon.

I agree with your post. It is ironic that the ones who scream and yell the loudest about contributing are often enough the very reason people stay away from contributing. Sure some people deserve to be called out, but all too many times there is an arrogance on this board that chases many potential contributors away.

Actually that information is great to have! Anything you have that is "info" is appreciated... Don't let some of the people in here get to you....

Not really anything useful, but just from a few people:

My friend on the team said Saban hadn't said anything as of last night, and the team wasn't going to be meeting again until Christmas day, and that he doubted Saban would take a job and then go 3 days without talking to the team about it all. (Take that to mean that a)he is staying, or b)he will wait to anounce until after he talks to the team, or c) he will just go ahead and screw the team) My friend believes it is a, but this is just his opinion.

My dad's friend was at Saban's christmas party (he was a ref for the purple and gold game); he said the way Saban acted at the party leads him to believe he will stay, but thats just his opinion.

Lastly, my friend who works at TAF said that most of the focus over there today was on Radavoich(sp?) trying to get the AD job at Auburn, but towards the end of the day there was a bunch of commotion and he had to go get one of the upper TAF guys out of a meeting to talk to Bertman and some other big guys in the AD and TAF, and most of these guys were on and off the phones for the rest of the afternoon. He had no idea what the commotion was about when I talked to him, but my guess now was that this was when the official offer was made. My friend said he has no idea what Saban is doing, and is not sure that Saban even knows.

Sorry that none of this stuff is very useful, but its all I've got.

Gotta love the warm welcome newbies get around here. If you don't have 2,500 posts, your opinion is unwanted and you get shouted down. It's as if people with high post counts are "better" LSU fans than everyone else.

Way to go. That's the way to attract new members. That's also the reason I'm not a Contributor yet. And from how I've seen new people treated around here, I wouldn't count on me becoming one anytime soon.

What did the guy say that has you up in arms? He expressed his opinion and asked for thoughts. The only responses relate to his post count and whether or not he's a "real" LSU fan.

The problem was his attitude-telling someone "to get a grip". Like Fightin Tiger is a fool or something. The newbie deserved to get called out.

Well, perhaps I shouldn't say anything, because I'm new, too, and don't want to start out on the wrong foot. (However, I am a contributor. )

I think some have over-reacted to jeffery's comments. Perhaps he made a poor choice in telling FightinTiger to "get a grip", but he's simply expressing his opinion. Some people think Saban is gone and wish to "move on".

And why not give him the benefit of the doubt, TigerEducated? If he says he's an LSU fan, I believe him.

Let's remember the spirirt of the season, after all.

Just my 2 cents. Thanks for hearing me out.

Reasoning for the testyness...

Many of the first-time-posters saying Saban is gone... Cya! are Fin fans trying to rub it in our faces...

Welcome -again once you start a post like he did, most people don't pay much attention to the rest.

That's the smartest post I've read here all week ... It's a Saban decision, pure and simple ... time for LSU to sweeten the pot and tip those scales.

That does make sense. I just didn't think that was jeffery's intent - it seemed like he might be a real Tiger fan who came on a bit strong and got caught in the crossfire.

People who want to "move on" before Saban's made a decision, and want to start talking about defensive coordinators on NFL teams...Well, they just rub me the wrong way...

BMoney...You do what you like...I'm not here to court your dollars, but with a name like yours, I wonder why you're so scared of forking out dough for a place you frequent...

At any rate...I'll put it to you like this...If SabanFan started talking like we were already resigned to the fate of Saban leaving, I'd treat him the same way...I dare you to say different...
