ESPN hates LSU
As usual, even the Rantards can't get this one right.

No one is saying ALL OF ESPN hates LSU. Cowherd is part of ESPNradio, not the college football gameday and night TV crew. The Granny Holtz's and Skip Bayless turds of ESPN are the ones that hate LSU. Herbstreit and Corso constantly misreport LSU news and information, but I wouldn't classify as haters, just dumbasses.

Like Colin Cowherd or not, the dude is a college football junkie. Nobody watches more games than him during the season....he knows a lot about college football.

In fact, I remember hearing him predict that Oregond would upset Oklahoma State in the Holiday Bowl, and I tried to switch my choice in one particular bowl pick em I was playing. unfortunately, the contest had locked in, b/c Cowherd was right on the money w/ that pick.

I think Texas s/b in there somewhere. I think I'd have them ahead of Michigan and Miami.

He has Texas as 5 on his rankings. Look at the quote in your post.

You guys need to listen to Cowherd before you bash him. He DOES NOT change his mind or his tune. He has been saying for several years now that LSU is one of the best programs in college football. He may have said THIS YEAR that we were struggling, but that only served to bring us back to the pack a little.

IMO, Cowherd is the best radio guy there is. He has his view of the world of sports, he tells us exactly what that view is, and he does not waver.

i agree. i listen to the herd quite a bit and he usually has really good things to say about lsu. when he talks about what he considers to be the elite programs he always mentions lsu along with usc, texas, etc. last year he did the same top 10 and he had lsu at number 1, and even argued with that douche pat forde about it when forde told him he was crazy. i think he's the only espn personality that actually gives lsu the credit it deserves.

Well, he's from Washington and worked in Oregon for a while... so this was probably somewhat of a homer pick. But, a correct homer pick nonetheless.

I think he's entertaining. But I never get to listen to him unless I'm traveling.

Cowherd predicted that Florida would be in the MNC when everyone else thought UGA woud win that division. He is right a lot and talks way more college football than any of the other sports radio shows here in BFE.

I think Cowherd does fine for what he does... the only big disagreement this past college season was his opinion that the SEC was having a down year. Based on the bowl results I think that is proven wrong ie Ole Miss beat down on Texas Tech and of course Florida winning the BCS against OU.

cowherd is the only one that likes LSU, last year when everyone said LSU had no chance of beating OSU, he said they were idiots and US! Smart man....I think he even bet some caller 1000$ that LSU was going to win by at least 7

He had UF #3. If I recall correctly from this morning...

1)USC
2)LSU (said 1 & 2 could probably flip flop
3)UF
4)Texas
5)Ohio St
6)Michigan (I think)
7)OU (maybe)
8) don't remember
9)Boise St (said they averaged 10.5 wins every year in the past 10 years.... not bad)
10)FSU

This may not have been the list word for word, but it's close.
