Check this out from Yahoo Sports home page. What a joke. http://sports.yahoo.com/ While LSU's rabid fans clogged Bourbon Street in the aftermath of Sunday's BCS title-clinching Sugar Bowl win, Tiger coach Lou Saban celebrated in his own way: with a hug from his family and a nibble on a cookie. Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel says Saban may not be the life of the party in New Orleans, but the Tigers would be nowhere without him.
I think people keep calling him that because Lou Saban was a coach in the AFL and NFL during the 60's and 70's. It's still no excuse to make the mistake.
