It seems like no matter how good we are or what we do we don’t get respect and people just hate. Best season for us in a while. Best QB in college. Heck of a Receiver core. Underdog running back that has broken out. Best freshman in the country. DBU. Most love able head coach possible. I just didn’t understand. Why are they changing the narrative to make it look like Joe won’t win the heisman keep dissing us. Personally I don’t care what rank we are as long as we beat anyone. Just doesn’t make sense why they keep hating.

Considering our fans have the thinnest skin, they probably do it for fun.

It goes way beyond sports. Let’s just keep it at that.

We are not a media darling, therefore we will never get the built in excuses and preferential treatment that Bama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Texas, etc. get. We get some good press until such time that it looks like we might frick things up for the good ole boys. That’s when the narrative shifts and the media turns on us. We win and it’s still not enough. They try to devalue our accomplishments the first chance they get. I knew they’d turn on Burrow soon enough. It’s not enough to try to frick with our national title chances, but now they’re changing the Heisman narrative as well. I knew there would be a late push by the media for Chase Young.

We're not in a big media market like Ohio Stare and we dont have a nationwide love/hate following like Notre Dame

Please just get some rope and a stool then do the rifght thing.

College football has LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this years.

That’s what they do when teams win.

And all college football has just been happy to see LSU have an offense equal to the talent we’ve always had.

Quit hating yourself and enjoy every second. This has been one of the most fantastic rides of any team in any season for years

We’re ranked #1 in the AP and #2 in the playoff poll. You consider that no respect?

Heck of a Receiver core

We're in the SEC and not named Alabama. If you're treated like a redheaded stepchild by the Conference, the rest of the Country seems to have followed.

We haven't helped either. It's a cultural thing. Hell, North Louisiana cant stand South Louisiana.

BS! What difference does it make as long as we get into the playoffs. No one knows which teams will be the most difficult. If we play our best we should be able to beat any of them.
Who knows at this point.
We were a two loss team the last time we won the championship.

Ohio State is very good, man.

Also, many fans love O, you have almost all of the OSU and USC fans pulling for LSU.

LSU is #2 in the country.

What exactly do you want?

We haven’t been there for a while so they doubt us. Once we go to playoffs a few years in a row, we will start to get the benefit of the doubt like Clemson, Osu and Bama Are now getting.

Even though you only have 29 posts and are possibly a troll, I'll answer by saying that LSU is getting lots of respect. We might not get some of the benefit of the "blue bloods" of CFB but most of the national media is loving them some LSU right now.

Everyone freaking out over us dropping to #2 needs to chill out. Over the past decade we would have loved the chance to just make the top 4 and now that we have enjoyed the top spot for a few weeks, some feel entitled. Stop acting like Bama fans.

LSU controls its own destiny and college football does not hate LSU. If we win out we will be ranked #1 when it matters most.

There is some serious crying & whining from a few fans in this thread. Good grief!

Clemson has been in the National Title game 3 times in the last 4 years, is reigning National Champs, hasn’t lost in forever, and didn’t make the Top 4 in the first ranking and is a solid 3 behind us & Ohio St.

Forget their conference and who they’ve played. They are legit and have proven it in post season play.

You can easily make a case that they aren’t getting respect. Anyone can make a case if that’s your angle.

Just get in the top 4, play ball, and win your 2 games. You do that, they call you National Champs. Nothing else matters.

Every fanbase has people like you, pipedream, people who think the refs, or the league, are out to get their team. It’s a manifestation of self-absorption. It doesn’t matter what team you rooted for you’d feel the same.

I just watched the documentary Sunderland Till I Die, about an English soccer team. I was struck by how much some of their fans thought the refs were bought and paid for, and the league(s) was/were out to get them. Same shite.

I went to the Bama game, and overheard Bama fans complaining that the selection committee was out to get them.
