re: Is Diarse a Bama lean?

ESPN doesn't create an aura for Bama. Winning 40+ games and 2 national titles in 4 years does. LSU has been on ESPN just as much as Bama in the past year.

You're right, its the winning. They did not talk about Bama circa 2003-2004. But they do help build an auora. Its certainly not a "conspiracy", like the sit there and say we hate LSU and want Bama over them, but they help shape the perceptions. Saban is portrayed as the brilliant coach (which he is) and Miles is portrayed as a goof. Bama and Saban have earned the props, but hyperbole builds it up even more. Bama's the it place, they win, they have Saban, the recruit lights out, so kids want to go there. It feeds on it self.
