I think it would surprise people how much a lot of players listen to the media and read the message boards to see what people are saying. A lot tune it out, but a lot of guys that say they do don't really. And for 18-21 college kids it can be pretty easy to let the hype get to your head.

The media, yes. but between practice, classes and studying I doubt the players do. In fact I know they don't spend a lot of time on message boards. besides, they are going to hear it from kids around campus a lot more than a message board.
