The Advocate had really pissed in their Wheaties this week when you couple this with Mathew Harris troll article in the Sports Section yesterday. They could have run this article any time but these two weeks and probably got a serious read but now you have to question their motives. Leaves one to wonder if the Advocate should move to Tuscaloosa...

What matters..
How much it costs and what it is worth.
LSU is the better choice from a broad and practical standpoint.
