re: LSU featured on college football live on ESPN

I'm still at a loss to understand why so many of the people posting these, "I hate ESPN!" or "ESPN HATES LSU!!" threads clearly watch so much ESPN. People, that network sucks unless you are a fan of a huge market interest team, which includes any good L.A., New York, Boston or Chicago program, or any proven national market draw from a smaller market area (like Notre Dame and Alabama football, or Duke or Kentucky basketball). LSU isn't quite there at the moment (though we've been flirting with it over the last decade or so), so as an LSU fan there is essentially zero reason to watch anything on ESPN besides game broadcasts and highlight reels. Any "analysis" featured will be filtered through the agenda of pandering to the market.

The feature they did on LSU today was pretty positive and respectful, so they are clearly viewing LSU as a player in a national market interest plotline. But having seen/heard their "analysis" of SC and Bama, it's pretty obvious LSU's role on their networks will be that of foil to whichever of the "elite teams" we face/lose to.

Again, the tl;dr version is very simple: if you don't like ESPN, don't watch it. Your remote will take you to other channels, and the internet will take you to even more (MUCH more) interesting content that isn't connected to ESPN.
