Curious about everyone's (okay, so maybe not everyone's) thoughts on LSU's treatment on the SEC Network today. A few observations. (Long. Sorry.)

First, there's this graphic that showed up on Twitter and Facebook. Something about it seems odd to me. Does anyone else notice what I'm noticing? LINK

Second, the spot that was played with the voiceover about the Midas touch referring to the SEC teams in the NCAA tournament has a bunch of clips of the five teams. I only saw it once. But there were two LSU clips, dunks by M&M. Moore clips of the other 4 teams (3-5 each).

Third, following the softball win over Florida, there was a very abrupt switch to the Bama/UGA softball game that just seemed rather jarring. I know the game was overlapping with the next game. But the Bama/UA game overlapped with the LSU baseball game. They did a nice closing series of clips before transitioning to the LSU baseball game. Smooth. Let the win sink in. Definitely not the treatment LSU softball got.

Fourth, did I miss the NCAA bracket breakdown with LSU where they predicted how the team would do like they did with Ark and UGA? Or did the crew not provide the same treatment? (ETA: Maybe I shouldn't complain that they didn't use the touch screen. But the analysis just seemed very negative. Nothing on the level of predicting UGA over Michigan State.)

I am likely just a little sensitive to how LSU is depicted. Maybe being an LSU fan means that I'm expecting disrespect. Maybe I just read the rants on here too much. But is anyone else with me on the things I noticed today?

WTF are you babbling about? I see nothing unusual with that graphic.

SEC network is bad for SEC teams. It is a paid TV for the rest of the country (outside of SEC region) and few would pay to watch it, therefore, it is not good form exposure point of view.

Looks like it's going clockwise by overall finish in conference to me.

Reading your post reminded me of the John Stewart character from Half Baked.
