Enough Already!

It’s no big secret that I can’t stand how much ESPN sucks the dick of the South Eastern Conference during College Football season, and most specifically the Alabama Crimson Tide. I get it, they’re back at their pinnacle again with Nick Saban as the maestro of the program. And I also understand that the historic run the conference has been on winning I think 8 of the last 10 National titles. But let me also be clear, there is no doubt in my mind that some that had to do with ESPN’s incessant desire to push the SEC above all others on their television programming during BCS era.

Let me simplify and clarify for you. When the Associated Press and Coaches Poll, and later Computer polls determined which two teams would play for the National Championship each year, ESPN seemed to flex its influence on the sport by crowing the SEC the greatest Conference on the face of the planet ever. They anointed Alabama the best team in history and used the other top heavy schools as the reason this conference should always have a seat at the Championship table. It was soo bad that one year they actually had an All SEC title game.

Again, I will freely admit that I have enjoyed watching some of the games in that Conference and Alabama, LSU, Florida, to a lesser extent lately, Georgia, to a lesser extent, and most recently Ole Miss have been the heads of this conference. But let’s not forget all the teams in the middle and lower end of this conference that haven’t challenged for anything in decades. This conference is not the dominant powerhouse that ESPN makes it out to be. And the kissing of the ring bull shit that they’ve done with Alabama is just sickening.

I hope that as parity continues to rein and the ACC, Big Ten, PAC 12, Big 12 and maybe Notre Dame continue to show that they can go toe to toe with the “Mighty” SEC, we can get more even coverage and Programs like Clemson, Florida State, Oregon, Ohio State and others that have proven over the past 5 years of so to be equal to the Tide on the gridiron. One can only hope!
