1. Espn would like the BCS to experience issues regarding the MNC game. IT gives the talking heads ammo and it's good for ratings.

2. Espn and the rest of the media that is not in the gulf states would love the Traditional powers of decades ago to dominate Why I don't know.

3. Espn has several gumps in it's employment. And Les made one their own look like a fool.

4. Espn hates LSU. It's real. It's not their motivation but rather an enjoyed bi product of their agenda. (ratings)

1. Very true...ESPN is a business first, and as such, they are motivated by advertising dollars. Even if this means creating sports news as opposed to simply reporting sports news.

2. I have noticed this as well. I tend to think it stems from where most of them attended college themselves and that they tend to pull for their alma mater or at the least the conference they were a part of. It's one of the drawbacks of having reporters who were once athletes covering the news.

3. True again. We'll continue hear smart-arse comments from Herbie about LSU until CLM retires or moves on to another school. He has a bad taste in his mouth for the SEC after loosing to UGA in the early 90's (I think it was the Citrus Bowl or some similar bowl game). In my opinion, he's too Buckeye-centric to objectively cover Ohio State sports news or call their games. Much as I am too LSU-centric to do the same for LSU stories or call their games.

4. I wouldn't say they "hate" us. But, yeah we do tend to screw up their seemingly "preferred" flow of each football season. IE: we don't beat an SEC team that they were depending on us to defeat (such as 2009 'Bama), or we have the strength of schedule to loose two games and still be in the NC game, etc. Although fans from other teams may claim that they don't feel the love from ESPN either, ESPN and to some extent CBS too seem to be particularly hypocritical on this "win is a win" point regarding LSU...

This is one of the funniest pics I have seen in a long time! Great job, Freek!!!
