I think her constant complaining caused a lot of hate and it was pretty fair. She said a few times she wanted to be anywhere except Baton Rouge, so of course people aren’t going to think highly of her.


It is clear that she leans way too far to the left. And I shouldn't know this about an LSU baseball beat writer. I also didn't need to be subjected to any other aspects of her life like her dating situation and her needing to take a "mental health day".

But it's not meaningless. Because the CFP poll is massively influenced by the AP poll. They've found that voters vote differently when there's no AP Poll than with one.

She wasn’t good at covering LSU, but did she interject these things into her coverage of LSU or did you get that from following her on twitter?

From following on Twitter.

But people in the press who cover a beat should have 2 separate accounts...1 professional and 1 personal.

If I want her LSU baseball news on Twitter, I shouldn't have to duck and dodge her personal life battles with mental health and dating.

It's amazing that for so long NCAA football didn't have a way for teams to decide it out on the field with something like a playoff system. They just let media pick and decide. This is how you have teams like Auburn who can claim championship they didn't earn because some random media source picked them as NC those years.


Horrible and broken system in NCAA. Even arguably now, it's still incredibly flawed.

It’s fun to talk about & criticize individual polls, but it really doesn’t matter when there’s 65 other voters. They get it right as a whole. Nevermind the fact that the AP poll literally means nothing once the CFP rankings come out




This is a BS cop out.


Millions upon. Millions of dollars are sunk into these programs, coaching staffs etc etc.


The goal being to make the top 25 or higher. It’s literally their job to put thought into these rankings and have some sort of reasoning. The girl catching the heat moved UF UP. She clearly didn’t put any thought and had no knowledge of what happened on Saturday.

My guess is that she is sad for the female AP poll voter who is getting roasted on social media for her idiotic ballot

But that’s the point, it doesn’t matter if there are a few bad pollsters.

USF is still #18 and Florida is unranked.

Leah Vann covering LSU baseball was an SNL skit



Didn't she take vacation during regionals or something?

I like your excuse of: "I don't need to do what is expected of me because someone else will take up my slack."

There is a reason she has been fired from nearly every job she has done.

I dislike like her more than any other sports "professional"

There's times where it’s singular points difference in ranking.
