Headline reads “Kentucky slips past slumping LSU”. How hard is it to put “Kentucky gets big road win over LSU”?
ESPN loves digging at us
- Thread starter zannmann
- Start date
Hate ESPN but we need to let it go and quit complaining about every little thing. Let's just keep winning
LSU is slumping but game should never have been close at the end to allow the headline to say UK slipped past.
Yet bottom of the sea UNC gets the headline that they have lost a bunch of close games.
Doesn’t surprise me. Here’s ESPN: Duke has incredible comeback against surging and best ever 10-18 UNC team on the road!
I posted about this that night. Something like 8 of the first 13 headlines were about Duke, UNCheat, or the mighty ACC. Such BS.
Very, when a lil southern state has the most wins in the history of college basketball and shows no signs of letting up.
They mad.
I get close game notifications on my phone from them when we are up double digits every game. Either they know we will blow most of the lead or they are just being negative. I don't recall getting close game warnings all the time from any other top team when up double digits. Here's an example I saved from a handful of games back.
Not going to let those turds steal my joy tonight after beating Will Wade’s cheatin’ azz in Baton Rouge

We're ranked 10th and leading the conference. Immediately after the game one of the ESPN studio guys called us 'sneaky good'.
Oh and we are Kentucky too...
Just give us the 1 seed in the Midwest and all will be forgiven...
To be fair, a good portion of our Board has bad mouthed this team every day for 3 1/2 months.
But E-spin headline writers love stirring our pot.

we just got off the bubble though, so we’re still under the radar lol.
Yeah, we know what their agenda is.
Hopefully, at the end of the season, they have to write:
"Kentucky BARELY Wins National Championship"
We are last 4 in with this win
It isn't worth our energy and worry since we can't change it...
but all the same, the bias is really obvious.

And therein lies a media (propaganda) machine that is generally biased and dishonors its own profession. Or put another way, a "profession manned by unprofessionals." Bad in sports and politics...
There is also no reason for us STILL, for the 28th year, to keep seeing Christian Laettner in celebration as part of CBS's college basketball introduction. There have been plenty of other highlights to use in 28 years, but a conscious programming choice has been made and will evidently not change. BTW, for you young folks, per today's rules, he would have been ejected, and should have been ejected in 1992 for purposely stomping on a prone Aminu Timberlake. The only reason is a dig, by east coast media, at mighty Kentucky. This too is media driven...CBS could choose another highlight.
How to get internet clicks for college basketball 101:
Write something bad about Kentucky

Anybody with half a basketball brain knows that was a great win last night. Just because you call yourself the world wide leader in something doesn’t make it true.
I would point it out at every occasion . Not crying about it . Just simply call them out . They suck.
Stephen F Austin State loss - Duke 1 seed
Evansville loss - Kentucky 4 seed (best case)
Millions of losses - Michigan State 6 seed
There’s no bias.

There’s no bias.
"Slips Past" implies we had to make some big comeback to "slip past" them in the end. Nevermind we had a 15 point lead at one point in the second half when we were raining down 3's and just let them "slip" back into it, mainly once Hagans went out.
That dude deserves a medal [roll]
Ehh it’s kinda like that annoying family member. WE can talk about them because we’re family. But we defend them to the death when someone else talks bad about em.

ESPN has become the CNN of sports.
