ATTN "Experts" Part 2: New Narrative - "LSU is solid all around"

So far, it has been a circus act on the Bayous...and when two Tigers square off today, and the Tigers face the Pachyderms in 2 weeks, the circus storyline will certainly be justified.
But, the "Les is just winning because he is lucky" narrative is about to be slowed down as much as Cam Newton on the plains of Auburn on this October day.
All the talking heads, or let's say the far majority of them, are still discounting LSU and branding the team just a benefactor of the magic under the Big Tent of Big Les's mad hat.
The players know this is not true.
The fans of LSU know this is not true.
Yet, once again, ESPN and many other national media experts are failing to look under the hood and do their jobs. They are doing nothing more than many who are aware of the easy narrative storyline (that has been spoken of so often of late) are doing.
HOLD EVERYTHING (Well, I hope this does not pertain to Auburn getting away with holding the whole game)
The nation is about to see that their is one team in nation that has a smothering defense, a strong all-around special teams unit and a very capable offense - and LSU will do this on the road at Auburn against the "leading Heisman candidate"...
Yes, you can keep referring to the Hat and the luck, and continue to ignore that LSU outgained Tenn 2-1 and outgained FLA by 50% before the miracles we all keep hearing about.
Folks, if you want to be true professionals, and do what David Pollack has done, learn from your mistakes and become a believer.
The narrative is about to change.
"LSU is solid all around" is the new narrative.
IN my very best Elvis voice, "Thank you very much" and in my very best Les Miles voice "Have a GREAT day"....
I know LSU fans will

The media is all about the bandwagon effect. If LSU keeps winning, they will get a ton of attention and respect. Just look at how much more press we are getting now that we are solidly in the top 10 in the polls. I don't think any of these media outlets hate LSU per se, they just make more money highlighting the winners, or major f'ups (like our clock management gaffes).
I say LSU wins a close one today, and the press coverage leading into the Alabama game will be off the charts. Miles will be seen as a genius and Jarrett Lee will be a media darling.

I'm ready for LSU to shut the media up with the Newton love fest!
