Someone needs to look up the word “hyperbole” in the dictionary and show it to Mark May.
The ESPN analyst was at it again on Saturday night, calling Mississippi State the “alpha dog” of the SEC West following the Bulldogs’ 34-29 win at LSU.
Was asked what things meant for the SEC West, May offered up his quote.
“It says there’s a new alpha dog in the division, and that’s Mississippi State. For Dan Mullen, this is a signature game. Going into this game, against Texas A&M, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, he was 1-16.
“This is something for the ages for this program because now they can say they can hang with the Alabamas, they can hang with the big boys because they won against LSU in Death Valley.”
Wait, so you go 2-16 against the big boys in the division and that means you can now hang with them? Do you even listen to the words that come out of your mouth, May? C’mon man! What this tells us is that LSU is every bit the shaky team they looked in the opener against Wisconsin.
