Do you feel alienated by the "new" SEC?

I'm just getting a thought off my chest here. I don't want to be all "SEC hates LSU" or "ESPN hates LSU" here. I'm just stating something I'm feeling as an LSU fan. This isn't even whining. Honest. I just want to see if I'm the only idiot who feels this way.

TLDR version: The SEC Network makes me feel like I have less in common, not more in common with the rest of the SEC.

I don't really feel as drawn to watch the SEC Network as I feel I should. I mean, we finally have our own network, right? Whoo hoo! Yeah... not so much. See, after watching it for a few weeks, I feel less enthusiastic about it than I did about the idea of it.

We all know LSU is kind of a different place. I mean, we do everything a little different here in Louisiana. We have our own culture and it's different from our neighbors in a lot of ways. Everything from our legal system to the food we eat, to the accents we have, and the offense we run on the football field. It's not the same as the others.

But the SEC Network seems to be hitting the common culture of our neighbors right on the money. Is Mississippi really all that different from Alabama or Georgia or Tennessee, for instance? If I watch SEC Nation, LSU is 1/14 of it, no more than anyone else, but I have to sit through 13/14 of the rest of the conference all the time. And it seems the more I'm exposed to our SEC brothers, the more differences I see between us and the more contempt I have for them.

Combine that with the traditional feelings of the LSU fanbase regarding scheduling, officiating, Alabama-centrism, etc... and I'm just not all on fire about the SEC anymore. In fact, I'm kinda sick of their shite. I'm tired of hearing about the Grind, Tdecline, Saban, frickin' A&M, HUNH offenses, UGA, Sandstorm, Malzahn screaming at officials to hurry up, and Fatass Bert, and everyone telling us how much we suck all the time. EVEN WHEN WE DON'T SUCK.

Now I fully realize this is only MY perception. There is no problem here. LSU is a charter member of the SEC and our place in it is rightly assured, and we benefit greatly from the network and status of the conference.

I'm just getting tired of the SEC lovefest in our shared culture. I'm going back to LSU lovefest in my head. frick the rest of the SEC.
