BATON ROUGE, LA – LSU fans went into full meltdown Sunday morning after a flatbed delivery truck was seen unloading multiple cases of headsets behind LSU stadium, igniting new speculation that Nick Saban may be preparing a return to Tiger Town.
Witnesses say the unmarked white truck arrived before sunrise, escorted by two LSU maintenance carts and one visibly nervous equipment intern. “This thing was stacked with headset boxes,” said one bystander. “You don’t order that many headsets unless someone plans on throwing a few hundred of them during the game, and only one man has mastered that action.”
By noon, traffic had backed up along Nicholson Drive as fans gathered, some waving signs that read ‘Bring Him Home’ and others simply chanting “Geaux Saban!” University officials quickly issued a statement denying any connection between the shipment and the coaching rumors, insisting the order was “for internal communications upgrades.”
Local reporters say the delivery driver appeared confused by the frenzy, telling one camera crew he “just drops off whatever’s on the truck” before being chased by three fans asking if Nick was hiding in the cab. “I thought they were filming a reality show,” he said while speeding away toward Burbank.
Meanwhile, several Baton Rouge restaurants have begun offering limited-edition menu items in Saban’s honor, including The Chimes’ new “Sideline Smash Burger” and Walk-On’s “Crimson Comeback Nachos.” LSU’s bookstore also confirmed a restock of 2003 replica polos had sold out within hours, despite no official announcement from the university.
