Finally

Well, this may be a little less controversial, but not much.

Why can't the SEC get any media love? It doesn't seem to matter what sport we are talking about either. In football, it is Notre Dame (how lame!), USC I can't see it!), the PAC 10 in general, and the Big 10. In basketball, it's the ACC, the Big 10 and the PAC 10. In baseball, thanks to LSU, there is some respect for the SEC but the PAC 10 rears its ugly head there also.

Last year, we had Florida, as much as I hate to admit it, winning the National Championship in both football and basketball, in spite of playing football in the SEC. LSU won the National Championship in football on the field in 2004 and 2008, in spite of what Pete Carrol would have you believe. Why was Ohio State even on the field in 2007 and 2008? They are obviously not even capable of playing Vanderbilt! Oklahoma was embarrassed in 2004 by a LSU team which was a heavy underdog. LSU was a heavy underdog to Ohio State again in 2008. Florida was an underdog against Ohio State also. I don't really want to get started on Notre Dame or Penn State. Ara Parseghian is long gone and Joe Paterno should retire.

Who the hell does USC play? The PAC 10 doesn't even have a play-off, for gosh sake! So all the Trojans have to do is dodge an upset by a 30 point underdog and they are crowned National Champs by the media. Pete Carroll evidently knows where the stumps are because I know he doesn't actually walk on water. I wish we could have a game between LSU and USC tomorrow, in spite of LSU not having a starting quarterback who ever started a game.
