The media has always seen us as a bunch of unsophisticated hillbillies (which of course we are) who wear loud colors and get in your face anytime we win. They want to keep us down on the farm. In 98 they were forced to recognize us because we won all our games and then they rooted for FSU in the NC game but again we won and gave them no choice.
Remember that many of the media types are graduates of the large schools like Mich., OSU, Texas, etc. who have 50,000 students on campus and therefore many more graduates so you see a lot of favoritism in the national media.
ONLY WINNING WILL HELP GET RESPECT. IT'S COMING CAUSE WE HAVE THE BUTCHANATOR.
