    I saw a broadcast on WAFB last night about a story on Nicholas Sabans' (Nick's Son) ring from the 2001 SEC Champ game. Apparently he lost it at the Cotton bowl. A jeweler in Dallas now has it and wants to get it back to his owner rather than sell it on E-bay. I'm sure he would like it back and I have an idea. If the jeweler that has it won't give it back to him, maybe Tiger Fans can. What if we were to get people to donate a dollar or two to help get Saban's ring back? I bet the family would appreciate Tiger Fans giving something back to them after all they have done for us. If anyone is interested how would we go about doing this??:geaux:

    why would sabans son have a ring?

    i am sure his family is better equipped to buy back a ring than the majority of us. its not like the sabans need charity.

    I'd be willing to bet that Nick wanted his son to have one so he gave him one, I don't see the problem with that.

    I see no problem with it either, but isn't it the SEC and not Nick Saban who doles out the rings??

    You know, it's stuff like this would drive someone to leave Baton Rouge. Is this really news? I mean who really wants their son's lost ring discussed in a forum like this?

    Yeah, it would be nice if he got his ring back, but there's something to be said about living in a place with nine million people.

    No one talks about Mike Tice's family or Flip Saunder's family up here.

    Ok, this story makes no effin sense. How is his son gonna have a SEC championship ring? That only goes to players and coaches. And it's not like you can go request to get an extra one for a friend or family member.

    This thread needs to be deleted.

    Now if you said his son was wearing Nick Sr.'s ring, then I could buy that story.

    You just made my point
    1. Great they made friends, but is it newsworthy that they've made more friends supposedly in six months in LA than in Michigan. Why even discuss this?
    2. Maybe he just wants to coach football and go home at night and not have to worry about the 1000X more passionate fans than fans of Vikings. No one talks about Glen Mason's family and so on on gopherboards. He had a great season and even with a national title no one would be playing pop pyschologist about his family, why and how he's happy and how we all know he's so happy here and we sure as hell wouldn't be discussing if members of his family were happy. That passion can be a double edged sword.

    3. No one's lips freeze unless you kiss a metal pole or something.
