ESPN is BIPOLAR towards LSU
I don't agree with everything Mel Kiper says, and his focus is on how players project to the NFL. However, he has never demonstrated any bias against LSU - in fact, the opposite - I think players from LSU, sometimes get a bump in their draft stock merely by being in the LSU system.
While Herbstreit (as well as Holtz) has been more consistently anti-LSU than the average analyst (we've won Corso over, to a certain degree), even Herbie was a proponent of a 2-loss LSU team being in the big game in 2007. LSU fans need to be less thin-skinned and realize that the sports news business is far more about the entertainment aspect, and giving the people what they want (i.e. controversy), rather than a deeply held bias against a particular program.
It's supposed to be about fun. If we win the games, we shut them up (or convert them). If we lose, they were right all along. Just enjoy the ride.

The primary culprits on ESPN I've seen is Holtz and Robert Smith (he's the worse).
