Sometimes it’s subtle, other times it is more obvious than others. I have long believed, that aside from the self destructive events that UL is responsible for itself, the CJ, some local media and a lot of political influences in Frankfort have a very serious bias against UL, and an equally protective bias for UK.
Bozich in his frequent WDRB Sports articles provide UK cover and excuses regardless of wins or losses, conversely his treatment of UL is dismissive in Card wins, and is most critical in its losses. The latest example of Bozich treatment of UK can be viewed in his morning article on UK’s loss in Baton Rouge. Bozich correctly noted that Washington left the game in the 2nd half, but he went further by excusing the multiple missed shots, missed free throws and multiple turnovers as a result of Washington’s injury. If you watched the game last night as I did; UK took a lead in the 2nd half by coming out and hitting 6-8 of their 3 pointers, after having gone just 1-11 in the first half. The Cats built a 9 point lead, before it evaporated into a 7 point LSU lead.
When UL traveled to Diddle Arena, they did so without Malik Williams, but Bozich was not so generous in excusing the UL loss despite the circumstances.
Might sound petty, but to me it screams an agenda of overt bias ……. Just pointing it out.
