Am I the only Tiger fan who believes the national AP sports writers are basically saying "GFY" to Coach Wade at this point because of the "damn strong offer" recorded phone call?


College basketball voters have a very hard time moving new teams into their polls because the majority of them don’t pay attention to teams that aren’t ranked. If you are ranked your highlights are shown on sportscenter and halftime shows. If you aren’t ranked, the only time your score even shows up on the bottom ticker is when a game within your conference is being shown.

Look at how long it’s taken bama to get noticed and they’ve been blowing everybody out for a while.

Had LSU beaten St. Louis they would have moved into the top 25 the next week and probably still be there.

I agree with everything you wrote.

But still it's difficult to understand why the #2 team in the SEC at this point in the season can't garner at least enough attention from sportswriters throughout the southeast to break the Top 25.
