The double Standard for LSU and Lane

I'm just gonna embrace the hate!

Why do people care so much about this?

And why do you keep referencing Penn st that has nothing to do with the lane and lsu situation. For the first time ever a coach left his team while currently in the cfp. Shockingly that was a polarizing event and the media reacted.

There’s no need for 20 threads a day about this.

Lane has never really been liked.He was tolerated.

Why all the hate for the Lane Train?

There's a lot of ill-informed people out there.

I love being the villain.

Because he came to LSU and EVERYONE all over America thinks they are superior to “corrupt” and backward Louisiana with its Cajun-Creole population. A lot of yall don’t want to admit that, but there’s a good deal of that going on.

It happened when Brian Kelly left ND for LSU. It happened with everyone making fun of Orgeron and Les Miles and saying how they are a “cultural fit.”

It happened back when Saban was here and voting USC co-champs and the media hounding Saban every single year about when he was leaving. The reality is that people in Alabama and Mississippi believe they are superior to Cajun-French and Creole people in Louisiana. This is an ancient belief that goes back to old English-French rivalry.

So, the narrative is that Lane is corrupt and LSU is corrupt because for hundreds of years Anglo-American Protestants have believed that French/Spanish Catholics and Black people are corrupt and all of this gets projected into college football narratives, same as when a team from the South plays Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, or Penn State, a lot of southerners replay the Civil War in their subconscious.

They will all use this in recruiting, by the way. It’s a real problem. Winning will solve it, but for now, we’re caught in the media spin cycle and it favors Ole Miss.

I keep thinking its all because Ole Miss is on a "Historic" so they say Playoff run...what Bitches

The media decided that Lane was supposed to stay at Ole Miss and was not approved to go to LSU. For that reason, everything must be done to drive that into a hostile reality.

It was the first time a major conf. HC bailed on his program on the eve of the playoffs since Bill Frieder at Michigan in 1989. But they also fail to acknowledge that it was Ole Miss who refused to let him coach in the CFP...not LSU. Tulane and JMU's coaches took other jobs before the CFP too. There was no outrage. That was because Tulane and JMU still allowed them to coach.

frick em all
