Who graded out higher, Rashard or Danielson' favorite player

I watched with the volume down. I'm assuming Gary was slobbing off some Auburn player the whole game.

I don't know which aub player you are referring to because I didn't hear any of their names called in the broadcast. Heard Lawrence about 25 times.

Triggered? GD heaped a ton of praise on Lawrence, White, Delpit, and Williams all game long

That's a great assessment and it may be true in a lot of instances but I've attempted to prove this formula before by just watching two teams play that I'm impartial to and paying attention to who the announcers talked about, for how long and what their reactions and inflections are to different plays by each team.

In some instances I've heard no clear bias and in others it was pretty clear that the announcers had a favorite. It just so happens LSU isn't a lot of people's favorite outside of Louisiana.

I agree that sometimes LSU fans overreact because theyre emotional about their team but in some instances I would imagine there's definitely a bias as, like I said, I've heard it in other games that I had no emotional investment in.

In this particular Auburn - LSU matchup, I didn't hear anything that really stuck out in my mind although it seems many others would vehemently disagree with me. I will say though, Verne Lundquist was definitely an Auburn, Gump, Gator cocksucker. Either that or he was just a front-runner fan.

And slobbed over Devin White and Grant Delpit the whole game. Gave a bunch of love to Rashard as well.

This is odd. But, I'm not being negative about it.

My guess: "no clear bias" was of evenly matched opponents. So, both squads were doing good things to be commented upon. The "had a favorite" would be when there is a drubbing. Like when Bama was pummeling Ole Miss...I am sure that there was plenty to be said about the good play of Bama. Not much to say about Ole Miss. That sort of thing.



I haven't detected the anti-LSU bias (in the in game commentary) that others seem to be certain to have detected. I think confirmation bias is the reason.

Curious why you think this is odd.

You don't watch other teams play just to watch a football game

Yes

and then listen to the way the games being called?

I have never done this in an effort to prove or disprove a theory of bias in the call. I've never noted the bias (not that I've never perceived it. But, certainly not "noteworthy" , etc)


Again...I was not judging you on doing that. It just seemed odd. Odd is not bad, necessarily.

I don't know who Danielson's favorite player is, but Deshaun Davis has 13 tackles, 4 TFL, 1 sack, and 2 QB hurries for Auburn. He was a friggin' beast and probably had the best single game of any player this weekend. Lawrence was awesome, but Davis was on another planet... and still lost.

I didn't think you were and even if you were, I revel in my oddity anyway.
