The reality the national media refuses to accept

It’s interesting how the national media, with a few exceptions, is so upset about Kelly to LSU and so thrilled about Riley to USC.
I wonder if it’s SEC resentment, fatigue. You’ve got the winningest coach in Notre Dame history, a school with an incredibly rich tradition and history that these writers are absolutely enamored with. They put Notre Dame up on this pedestal of royalty… This sort of tradition, and the tradition of Michigan and other Midwest teams, gives them a strange sense of pride. And they hate the SEC. new money. Overrated. Cheaters. Podunk rednecks. Dumb.
And now, the winningest head coach of their Notre Dame, their Mecca of football, chose to leave to coach at LSU, where he’ll be paid more, his staff will be paid more, access to better recruits, much better facilities. A better job. A better job.
That’s a reality punch in the junk they don’t want to admit. So rather than admitting that LSU is a better job, they say Kelly is a coward for leaving his players. Think about the players. Before the bowl game! On the verge of a playoff berth (never mind that ND only played one team this year that is currently ranked, and they lost)! He’s a horrible man. No loyalty. Only cares about $$$. He’s lost his reputation. He won’t even fit in in Louisiana! Fake accent (btw, I still don’t hear an accent)
All this, while Riley is lauded for his move. Even though it’s clear now that he and his staff were actively recruiting for USC while still employed at OU.
I would say it confuses me. But I no longer live in the South, so I know how people outside of the South think about the South. The South is supposed to be behind the rest of us.
And the winningest coach who sits upon the throne of their royal football kingdom voluntarily left for a better job. In the South. In the SEC. What a monster. What an arse hole. What a reality.

The media wants to hate on the south

The media has an agenda whether it be sports or politics or simply wanting to buy something. Just ignore it.
Brian Kelly is going to bring LSU to a place it has never been and they don’t want that.

They can’t accept that a school below the mason dixon line took one of their beloved, storied blue blooded coaches. When reality is, LSU has been one of the top programs since the turn of the 21st century. And we’re acting like it now, by showing we want to win by any means necessary. That bothers them.

They jizz to anything California, while thinking Louisiana is full of people water skiing on the backs of innocent alligators while wearing cutoff coveralls and a straw hat. Plus, Kelly was previously accepted into their Club of the Highly Enlightened and they sang his praises, but he dares spurn that lofty membership in favor of the neanderthals of Louisiana.
Plus they probably never got over Trump appearing to be rooting on LSU during 2019 season, as well as identifying this state and LSU with the phenomenon of "Let's go Brandon". Top that off with the current reality that they do and say whatever the hell they want with zero repercussions, it's like the orangutan exhibit at the zoo during snack time featuring a shitload of bananas.

Exactly, most of them are NE and west coast racists to begin with.

Is this hire bringing all LSU fans together? It seems to be happening right before my very eyes. No positiger vs negatiger hoopla. Is US against the world.
