I haven't watched ESPN since the 1/9/12 debacle for anything other than a game
And my life has been just fine. I might have watched College Gameday for a few minutes here and there, but not enough to remember.

I don't watch the talk shows or Sportscenter. I flip past it. I don't care what they think.

I am happier.

You should try it. The only time I hear about ESPN saying this or that is when it gets reported on this board.

Why do we care what anyone thinks about LSU nationally? Just win.

Back this up to well before your date and I'm with you. Other than the ego bump fans seem to get from having some national talking head say good things about their program, there is virtually nothing to be gained from watching folks who have FAR LESS daily info than you do about your program talk about it. Hell...we already know many of them read boards like this one and use info garnered from here as their "unnamed sources." Why the hell would we then watch what any of them have to say, as if they know something we don't?

What it ought to do, though it clearly does not do that, is pull the curtain back on just how uninformed most of them are. After all, if they are this uninformed about our program why on earth would we think they know anything more about a rival's program? Honestly...nothing is gained by watching any of that.
