Nola.com LSU beat writers that hate LSU


It's not a beat writer's job to hate a school. It's also not their job to like it, either. They're paid to be unbiased observers and report the news.

Higgins is a columnist and is paid to give his opinion. He gave it. If you don't like it, don't read it anymore. Pretty straightforward.

Higgins is an LSU grad, his dad was in the LSU athletic department, the guy bleeds purple and gold, he is just doing his job.

NOLA.com's best beat writer is Jim Kleinpeter.

Is it just me, or does District Judge Bonnie Jackson have way more reason to be pissed than anyone on this board?

It's a refreshing counter to the guys at the Advocate who seemingly never get on LSU.

It's no different than most local coverage for college sports. 2 things: They live here and understand that the fan base expects a certain amount of loyalty; their job kinda depends on it. And being loyal gets them access they normally wouldn't get which means more and better information for their readers. This isn't a professional team/sport their covering where it's almost expected for them to find as much dirt as possible.

He doesn't work directly for the A. Plus, I put him in a whole other group: troll. Nothing he writes, positive or negative, means shite when it's not based on research, facts, or his actual opinions. It's just there for reaction.

Absolutely. Which is why I'm glad we have a place close like N.O. that still covers LSU and can provide these types of pieces. It's not very different from BR covering the Saints, although they rely heavily on the N.O. guys.

I'm not a hate monger, I'm just a realist. The "team vote" was a joke, anyone who doesn't have p&g glasses on realizes that. But go on and think that Miles doesn't give preferential treatment to star players, ask guys like Kyle Anderson if he treats every player the same.

What I meant is most all coaches bend the rules for star players, recently look at Kliff Kingsbury or Charlie Strong. It is what it is, you all just act like Miles is morally superior to all other coaches when he is not.

I'm still here arse clown. I assume that you were calling me a troll?

I was born and raised in la, and unlike you graduated from the LSU. I'm a huge Les Miles fan, but I'm not a lemming, so I think it's ok and even necessary for the media to hold public servants accountable and question shite from time to time. Get over it.

Pretty much this.

God almighty, some Tiger fans are the most sensitive bunch of pussies I've ever encountered.
