I agree that ESPN hates LSU. I didn't know that was up for argument. All of the press hates LSU, Les Miles, and all things purple and gold. The compliment our tailgating and our food. That's about it. Our food is pretty BA though, I'm not gonna lie. We're in a position to be 5-0 heading into Florida with probably very little national exposure until that game. Could be a good thing.


it's always been this way and always will be. the media was cool with LSU for a little while when Bama was down but now that they're winning again (and combined with Florida's continued success) it's back in the media's best interest to keep them on top. more coverage + not covering their rivals = more winning for Bama and Florida & more $$$$$$$$$$$ for the networks that depend on the ratings that the traditional big boys bring in.

just wait until Michigan and Notre Dame get all the way back. ESPN pushes it every year (UM, ND, FSU, Nebraska, etc..) they need these programs to return to greatest so they can make a frick load of money.

I agree totally with all that you said. The SEC put the hammer down on the Big 10 but I've noticed ESPN has been talking them up again. Oh it makes me want to vomit when they kiss their arse up there in the North then come bowl game time the Big 10 and ND get their asses kicked all over the place. Big 10 did okay in the bowls last year so they are getting some hype from ESPN. But what you said is true, it's all about the money. Networks need certain schools to be good to draw in the TV ratings.

They have always hated LSU. Listen to Mustberger and Herbstreet. They never say anything good about LSU. They talked about NC the whole game. Herb is pissed since saying Miles was going to Michigan
