No respect for LSU (College Football Final)

I was excited to wake up and watch CFF this morning to see the talk about LSU. First game they discussed Oregon vs UW, then Iowa State followed by Penn State.

Just wait until the end when they list their top 5. You’ll forget all about the game highlights.

You've got to record that show. They had a great breakdown of the game. They just didn't lead with it.

Just keep winning and the rest will take care of itself.

You make a good point here, which I assume is to say that we should care less about the perspective national media has on program. Which is true; but the only point to the contrary would be that national media attention is still important and something that should be desired because it is what helps build your brand as a program.
However, I’m going to take your point in a different direction to say I love how we have so many people who are quick to point out when local or national media are not giving LSU any respect; but fail to acknowledge we have a large chunk of the fan base that has little to no respect for our program as a whole. How can you expect media, those which are supposed to be unbiased commentators from an outside perspective to show you respect, when as fans, the ones who should care the most, are disrespectful towards administrators, coaches, and even players on the regular? Media generally reflects the attitudes of the perspective of society as a whole or tries to shape the narrative. So we can’t exactly expect them to reflect something much different when our very own fans are constantly bashing the program and saying how worthless it is. And as for shaping the narrative, what incentive do they have to push LSU to the forefront.
P.S. - I guess the OP missed Herbstriet’s comments at end of yesterday when he said he would bump LSU all the way back to #5 on his list of top teams based on their performance yesterday.

I didn't know that show was still on.

At the end of the show they put Texas in thier top 5. Who has Texas beat?
Just keep winning.
Just keep winning.

Since “snowflake” is the rantards word for everything, are we such a pansy arse fan base that this is the constant theme?
It was only a week ago we got our arse handed to us.
Beat Bama. Beat UGA again and go to the playoffs. Earn the respect some of you long for.
It’s pitiful.

I have to disagree with this:
The media's sole job is to shape opinion. If you are an attorney, I am shocked that you do not understand this. Media is nothing more than government sponsored propaganda, even when it comes to sports.
I agree that have the media darlings promote a program will only help recruiting etc, but they do not reflect what people think.

So...... grow up.

Sorry I don’t watch the news, ESPN or have social media.
I read TD, recruiting sites and whatever someone might link here.
I just root for LSU. Don’t really get caught up in what every Joe Blow, looking for clicks, thinks of us.
The committee will make their decision regardless. We just have to keep winning.

Okay. They usually wait to talk about the game most people want to see because it keeps them watching the show longer.
Either way, who cares about whether or not we get respect from the media. If we win the next two games it will come.
If anything that can be used as motivation for the team.

Very much incorrect. The media’s job is SUPPOSED to be (obvious emphasis on the supposed) to report news/facts, and allow the audience to shape its own opinion. There is also a part of media that is designed to give opinions and shape others views or create discussion, these are commentators or columnists in print articles; but that is not their “sole job.”

I think based on the quote above about “sole job” and the comment I just quoted, that it is you who fails to understand the difference in what I said media is supposed to be and what it is. Media today is very much driven by the need to sell advertising, which means drawing the largest audience to its platform. How do you do this? In two ways. One is to reflect the opinions and comments of the loudest voices in society. They may not be the majority, but they are the attention grabbers and the ones media latch on to to continue feeding that voice. The other way is to be the obvious voice of dissension and engage people through fierce opposition so they want to argue back with you.
If media was nothing more than government run communist megaphone, then wouldn’t today’s media on the whole be more reflective of what this current government stands for? Instead you have platforms that feed the loudest voices of both ends of the spectrum, often drowning out what is in the middle.
