Much of the sports media are alums of USC or their boss is an USC alum. We will have to bear the burden of we screwed up USC's 03 season - we got the crystal ball. hehehe I don't care how much respect they show us - we need to kick some ass and earn it.
the ONLY point that i was trying to make is that in EVERY other season it's about 50/50 positive/negative stories concerning LSU. this season, that is severely NOT the case. not at all, not even close. it's so blatant and one-sided that i cannot wait until LSU ends up with at MOST three losses this season. FWIW, i think we end up with 2 losses. i just get sick and tired of it. and it's easy to say "just ignore the media" but i'm ready for some football, dammit.
Just saw the CBS preview of the game with Spencer Tillman picking UNC to win. Unbelievable what his points were in the piece. First of all he made a point to say that Miles is closer to his way out than Davis. Here you have on the one hand a coach that has won a national championship, has the best winning percentage ever at his school and has run a program with no significant NCAA infractions. The other coach has not even won the conference championship and is getting blasted by NCAA sanctions. Also says that part of the reason that Miles is on the "hot seat" is because of Jordan Jefferson. This has gotten absurd. Jefferson was a first year starter and the media is going push out Miles based on a first year qb's performance? I have lost all respect for the sports media...they are as bad as Dan Rather and Keith Olbermann. I hope LSU puts the beatdown on UNC today and see what they say....
Wow. All I got out of that was "Read us, read us!" What a bunch of disrespecting windbags. All we have to do now is win and they are discredited. It won't mean anything to them, they'll deny it or provide endless excuses even after they said we wouldn't win, but I'll be happy :geauxtige
The media is ridiculous because it has become so prolific that they're finding just about anyone to fill spots these days. Some people have a place on sports radio: Mike and Mike, Scott van Pelt. Good, smart men who understand the world. Then there's stuff like Charles Hanagriff going on a rant on 104.5 against Dave Whateverset in the Pitt-Utah game for calling two consecutive timeouts to ice the kicker. Um, Charles? Utah's coach called the timeouts? You just spent five minutes ranting about this topic and saying how Pitt deserved to lose and you were glad that Utah won... But Utah was the team to do it. Fail. I only read short news blasts that ESPN sends me via text. I don't read any opinion stuff any more, because it's all pure bologna.
