Saban was recently caught on tape telling an anecdote about a particular LSU fan's disgust with him going to western division rival. The fan compared it to certain relations that one's wife might have. Saban said, "He calls me. There was a guy working in the ditch, one of those coonass guys who talk funny. I can't talk like them, but he can. Most people in Louisiana can."
What's so funny about this is that LSU fans and anti-Bama fans are up in arms claiming how offended they are that he would say "coonass". When any non-LSU fan uses the term frequently and most Cajuns are not actually offended by the term. They just want the chance to sling more mud at Saban and its quite funny.
Either way I think it's hysterical that SEC coaches are calling LSU fans coonasses and hope this is a trend that picks up. I can't wait to hear Tuberville or Fulmer call out the coonass fans before a big game. Or where that could lead to Les Miles calling out Houston Nutt and Arkansas fans. Of course Ogerzook would have a tougher time than most using the term do to the whole "pot calling the kettle black" theory of hypocrisy. Maybe in the future head coaches will give mock interviews with Gene Okerlund where they call our their competition like in wrestling.
