What about this says anything negative about this game?
Jul 8, 2013, 11:39 AM

They are saying it is the 6th best game of the entire season, not just the bowls.

My guess
Jul 8, 2013, 11:44 AM
|

The top 5 games will be between sec teams. In that way, EsecPN once again will determine that the sec is the greatest conference of all times by default. There couldn't possibly be a different outcome left up to the fans as voters.

Well, all three were very close games. Large, large majority of the country watches Alabama hoping they lose.

The fact that it was an exhibition game hurts it.

Meaningful games always get rated higher. The MAC championship game was one of the best of the year but its not ranked up there bc it wasn't big teams an there were no title implications.

Since LSU completely discounted the game and categorized it as meaningless and irrelevant, E$ecPN has to walk the company line and follow suit.

How is Nevada vs. Arizona not in the top 5?

Seriously, go watch that game. Gotta be the most exciting thing I've ever seen (that doesn't involve my Tiger of course!)

Oh, wait, I know - because the SEC team got BEAT in our game.

I thought the LSU-Bama game was up there with ours, and

most people would give it the nod b/c there would've been a different national champion last year if Bama had not made the comeback.
The Coots vs Michigan was actually a really good game too if you ignore the fact that they won.

8-5 overall with a 6-2 in a conference soft as a baby's butt.
Passing yards 97th, rushing yards 41st, 58th in point scored and 20th in points allowed.
scar should have crushed them like Bama crushed a team that beat them.

Michigan played them better than we did! And we were at home...

The rest is a SEC money making lovefest; they are trying to get the sheep ready for another season of advertising and media bias.

If y'all didn't watch that game, it was EPIC. If anybody knows when that game will be replayed, let me know.

I dont see how you could rate the TAMU/Bama and outback bowl
Jul 8, 2013, 1:38 PM
|

ahead of us SC almost choked away the game and Bama was chasing A&M the whole game - they never lead. If LSU had been the one to make a walkoff FG it would be ahead of at least the outback bowl.

here get over ESPN. And then my favorite is, "I don't care what they think." Yet I will continue to read all of their articles and post on threads about them.

Clemson should tell ESPN "NO THANKS" on Gameday
Jul 8, 2013, 3:34 PM
|

And also "NO THANKS" to any games being televised on their network. That'll show 'em.

Having to put-up with all of their biased rhetoric and BS isn't worth the limited amount of exposure they provide.
