National Media: It is not Brian Kelly they hate. It is the south and LSU

Over the last couple of days, I have seen multiple national talking heads bashing Brian Kelly and his move to LSU. It has nothing to do with Brian Kelly. They all loved him when he was at ND. It is strictly their disdain for LSU, SEC, and the south. It shatters their reality to see this kind of move and takes them down a notch. They think they are better than us will probably always will.

All we can do is ignore them, go win another national championship, and drink their tears (Quinn's are the tastiest). As for our SEC brethren, it is strictly fear that has taken hold of them. They know what is coming.

If it’s the south & SEC they hate, then explain their love for Bama then?

When Whatsisname left Oklahoma, they were like "Well yeah...USC...Los Angeles." But when Kelly left 3 days later "This is everything wrong with the game."

It's not the whole South that they hate, but, they definitely hate Louisiana and LSU.

Louisiana ranks 49-50 in just about everything in the USA. Most of the nation looks down on Louisiana so when we are successful in winning at sports, coaches, and so on they hate it. We are not supposed to be able too.

2019 team was so dominant they had no choice but to accept us as the best team ever. That’s left them all seriously butt hurt.

Going forward every National Champioship team will be compared the that 2019 team, and not a ND, USC, Alabama, OSU and so on.

Liberals tend to act that way.

Everybody associates Louisiana with being the lowest in education and health. They think the average louisianian is just fat and dumb, and that's probably the case. What they don't account for is the above agerage Louisianian that is smarter than them to begin with. The reason Louisiana is the way it is because of bad politics that led to brain drain. We're hardly all fat and dumb, they're just too stupid to see past that.

I think there’s is a lot of SEC fatigue in the sports media and in the NCAA frankly. Lincoln Riley isn’t a fool. In the age of NIL and the portal, the old monied blue blood programs Like USC will soon start sopping up players from the south at the expense of the SEC (except for Bama and maybe TAM). Case in point: Eli Ricks.

CFB is a free agency game now, and the boosters with the most cash will get the players. I don’t think this was an accident. CFB wants to restore prominence to the non SEC Power 5 by buying Southern talent.

IMO they don’t necessarily hate the south and LSU, I think they actually just:

1) LOVE the Midwest/“classical midwest powers” like Michigan, OSU and ND

2) HATE the SEC for being better than the #1 this century


So as a result they’re just ultra nuclear shook about this because how could a coach who has been Tier fricking One at one of the premiere schools leave, without being fired or even remotely on the hot seat, for a school in the SEC?!? It’s not about LSU specifically or even the southern region (football aside) IMO.

The national media can suck a dick. As can every AD, coach, agent, tv exec, etc.

They created this mess. They made this bed and now want to be shocked that they have to lay in it.

Alabama and Georgia are in the south. I don't see or hear the same disdain for those programs.

They don’t care about Lincoln Riley because it’s blue blood -> blue blood.

They hate Brian Kelly because it’s blue blood -> new blood.

No matter how much LSU wins this century we will always be considered a tier 2 program.

Better food
Better fishing
Better looking women
Better weather (except for the occasional Cat 4)
Better football

No wonder they don’t like us.

Go listen to Matt Leinart on Russillo try and differentiate Riley’s departure from Kelly’s.

The cognitive dissonance was astounding lol
