re: Let’s face it folks, LSU is under attack by a media blitzkrieg

Well, we did steal media darling ND’s head coach while they were “playoff contenders”.

This is great publicity for LSU. No one is talking about conference championship games, playoffs , ND’s new coach, or anyone else’s new coach. It’s all LSU. Worth its weight in gold to have our brand out there. We went out and bought the best. When we walk into a recruits house—-hey, you saw us on Sportscenter—we go out and get the best. That’s you. Come play with us.

I will note that Saban and Alabama got hammered pretty good when he was hired. It’s was non stop CNS sound bite about “not going to Alabama”. Then he made the joke about the “coonass ditch digger” after the opening press conference. Very similar first few days.
