And I would say that 99.9% of N.O. sports fans couldn't name 3 Zephyrs without looking it up.

New Orleans is a big LSU city and loves college sports as much as pro.

They probably could if their highlights could be found anywhere besides CST.

And I doubt that few if any sports fans in NOLA who aren't frequent TD posters could name 3 guys on the LSU team. Maybe Bregman and Katz.

LSU has ties to a rival station WWL. This is not abnormal.

I can't agree that NO is an anti-LSU place - actually when the Times Picayune was 7 days a week, it's LSU coverage was as good as The Advocate's.
I don't buy the Benson hates LSU but if true maybe it's because he felt threatened when the Saints played the Dolphins after Katrina in Tiger Stadium.
The last few times I've seen Benson on the news he just looks like a dufus!!!

Considering roughly half of the on air talent that Benson employs are LSU grads, I'd so no.

Yeah Hickman is a national guy so doubt he cares enough to hate LSU. The rest of their sports team went to LSU.

Not just over Channel 8 but the general negativity towards LSU that exists in NOLA
this is just absolutely false ....new Orleans area gives lsu just as much run as the saints.....there are over 20,000 lsu football season ticket holders from the Nola area .....now I will agree fox sucks with their sports coverage in general , when you have an 1 1/2 hour news show every night and only a 3 minute spot on sports it shows they are not dedicated to broadcasting sports .in the same 1 1/2 hour show they show the weather 10 times.....it must be a ratings thing..... But of you ask anyone from the Nola area they will tell you lsu sports is very popular among Nola residents.....

That's because the ratings for general college sports news in NOLA is pretty low. Residents care more about the area pro teams


You're very wrong. New Orleans is a huge LSU based town. It was that way over 20 years ago.
