Do we really think ESPN hates us?

This week, more than any other week in a long time the 'ESPN hates us' rhetoric has been more evident. Do LSU fans actually believe that ESPN has some sort of vendetta against us? ESPN simply goes for target audiences. They go for teams with superstars over quality teams. There's a reason A&M is talked about so much.There also isn't a ton of bandwagon fans outside of the state compared to other powerhouse schools. A direct result of not having that 'guy'. I'm fine without the attention.

They don't hate us. They just love big market teams like ND, USC, BAMA

Yes. Don't get me wrong, I like flying under the radar and quietly devouring our schedule week by week and landing in the playoffs..... But yes, ESPN Hates us, and doesn't mind hating us at all.

news flash; EVERY school thinks ESPN hates them, including A&M. LSU gets plenty of attention and will get more if we turn out to be a contender for the playoffs. it seems as if many fans feel their school is not mentioned on ESPN they are slighted. c'mon, there are a lot of schools.

I venture to say significant portions of every single fan base in the country thinks ESPN hates them.

ESPN does, in fact, hate LSU. Its been proven through science.

What is a long time to you kid? This is the same shite that is said every season on this board.
And, for all the jack wagons who keep saying this shite, if we were a great team they'd be gobblin' our knobs like they did all of 2011. Start beating some legit teams, and we'll get some more hype. Yeah, we beat Wisconsin. When your a good team, you beat teams you are better than.

The LSU vs MSU game is on ESPN so they try to hype the game as much as possible. If they just told everybody that we were going to go out there and beat the crap out of them then nobody would watch. Instead they all say that it's a possible upset and to watch out for MSU so people will tune in. It's really not that difficult to understand.

That hate us when it profits them
They love us when it profits them.
They ignore us when there is no profit to be made loving us or hating us.
It's REALLY simple, just think "Free market system".

Hate is not the right word
But if anyone here doesn't think that ESPN is full of pro gumps with an agenda is sadly mistaken

No, but the media has darlings. We are not one of them. Unless we're simply too dominant to ignore (like 2011), we will not get round the clock fawning press coverage. We will never get the kind of unqualified love that Notre Dame, Michigan, USC, or Bama do.
Such is life.
