If the BR market is more concerned with hearing callers talk about the Iron Bowl loss than say a Saints-Seahawks match-up, the rest of the NFL weekend, the FSU-OSU-SEC winner scenarios,etc, then my posts rings true

What's that? That I am more worried about LSU than the results of the Iron Bowl, unlike a lot of LSU fans? I don't get an obsession over one team losing. I hate all opponents equally. Bama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida-they are all just opponents in the way. It doesn't matter to me who among them wins games, just as long as LSU beats all of them, but I ask again : How does the outcome of the Iron Bowl help LSU this year?

The Saints are playing in the biggest Monday Night game of the year, something I'm pumped about... and I have to fricking listen to Finebaum say his phone lines are broken. After about 10 minutes, I just swapped to some stale rock on the Eagle. And I was in traffic for about 2 hrs.

As a Tiger fan, I'm more interested in how Jennings and Dural performed, who may stay their final season, and whether the defense turns the corner next season.

Re the whining about the title game, get over it. The only thing 7 straight BCS titles has earned anyone is 1st pick when the records are equal; and that's a given. This year, the records aren't even, Ohio St and Florida St are undefeated... and nobody from the SEC is. You can whine about schedule strength all you like, but the truth is, you gotta win your games. Georgia was at full strength when they lost at Clemson, a team Fla St went in and skull-fricked. As for Ohio St- is it the position that they are not eligible to play for the title, because they're in the B1G? Because they're undefeated. You can't ask any more of them. They went in and beat their rival on the road when a lot was on the line, something Bama wasn't able to do.

People all around will be looking at Auburn after they knocked off the team to beat and wondering who their one loss was to (if they don't know already)...they will find out that they lost to LSU. It will be repeated many times on national sports shows, etc. It keeps LSU's name out there even though they're not in championship contention and makes LSU look good (especially since LSU won by 14).
Perception.
