I am South and South Eastern biased. That's where the best football is played. There are only a hand full of teams outside the south that I even remotely like.
Oh yeah the sports media never talk about Alabama...

They have a football team? Huh. Start up program?
The media LOVES Alabama The only reason I think there is even a mention of Georgia is because of contractual obligations

The whole idea of “the media loves” is a joke. Ballcoach represents a good number of people who think the sports world is out to get the SEC / BAMA and LOVES teams like (fill in the blank). Many of y’all aren’t SEC fans and represent the SAME view from another angle. KIRK Herbstreet is an Ohio grad and routinely gets blasted as “in the bag” for... everyone. He CAN’T be “in the bag” for all the teams he is accused of supporting. There are certain personalities who clearly are partisan... that is their job. Of course Paul Finebaum is going to be pro-SEC, but most aren’t that way.

For all of y’all dogging on the SEC National Championship game, there was one simple way for it to have not taken place... Clemson & Oklahoma winning! Alas, they didn’t , so stop gripping.

Yeah. Don’t let empirical data get in the way. If the Sports World was out to get Bama their season would already be over. The entire bent of media coverage that I’ve seen or heard, granted it’s not a large amount, reminds me of The Brady Bunch. ‘Bama Bama Bama’. That’s fine. That’s great yippee. Holds 0 interest for me.

I'll have a few from the announcers angle, but I also will have stories about my experiences as a broadcaster as well (My interesting adventure to Salem for an Amherst County basketball playoff will probably get up there at some point. Most of my NFL stories won't come from that angle though SLy
