re: Why no love from ESPN for the victory against Washington ?

I watch as much football related TV as I can, and I noticed the same thing. If you watch the "Experts" this week, there was no mention of the game, but the week before was a discussion of how it could be a trap game. The "Experts" was this week was a USC/Barkley suck fest. Plus, you had to listen to that idiot Dan Hawkins talk about how tough the Big 12 is this year. Hey Dan, how's that Colorado job treating you?

It was a simple question, Bama got plenty of play...

Some of you rantards can't even be civil for a moment.

Every other thread on the Rant is either: LSU doesn't get enough respect, or Alabama and USC gets too much respect.

Chicken needs to arrange for a group therapy session for the Rant's inferiority complex.

Fwiw, Mark May and Louthssh Holtzthshhh had us at 3 and 4 after the first week. They both moved us up 2 to last week.

Colin herd has us at 1

LSU beating up a Pack 10 team at home isn't really big news

the Hogs losing to ULM is pretty big

LSU has reached that point where, we are expected to win..

LSU was a 22 point favorite..which I kind of thought was high...I expected Washington to make it difficult...but this team is pretty solid

But still, if USC had beaten UW 41-3, they would be sucking USC's dick even more, while LSU barely gets a mention.

1. Get off Bama's jock
2. You ARE the ranter

Alatgr,

Thank you.

That is all.

It's not an issue of being a ranter, you smug folks living in glass houses; it's frustration over the fact that we did not even get a mention in most ESPN programs this week. I can certainly understand Arkansas and ULM needs to be repeated.

But, as I mentioned earlier, in an hour and a half program, the "Experts," for example, mentioned the LSU victory over Washington exactly zero times. But yet, there was a normal amount of USC and Barkley love. They talked about how USC had some initial trouble with Syracuse, but they were eventually able to overcome the struggle. They then broke down USC's game against Stanford. And sure, I Ioved hearing Oklahoma State, Nebraska and Wisconsin being kicked in the balls. No one is doubting that Washington is an underwhelming Pac-12 team, but most people would rate Syracuse even lower than UW on the FBS power rankings.

I am proud of LSU, and like everyone here, I bleed purple and gold. But, when it come to attracting talent or when we are viewed through the lens of the public eye, it just bothers me when we do not get our deserved accolades. I am not so naive to believe that we are the greatest program in the history of college football, but give respect where respect is due.

Yeah, I know I rambled too much there, and I really lost the point about half way through, but it's f_cking Wednesday, and I will not get any new football until tomorrow night. So, cut a brother a little slack. EVERYONE of us here has had our ranter moment now and then.
