As DBB pointed out, they didn't say anything about the fact that WWII is what caused that team to be broken up. Or the fact that tOSU associated itself with the Army's ASTP officer training, which didn't allow guys to play football; while teams like TSUN associated with the Navy's V-12 program, which did allow guys to play football.

They also didn't bother to mention that they bounced back to go undefeated the next season (9-0 in 1944).

They said that Paul Brown was gone after 1943, implying that he had either quit or been fired because of the bad record. Brown was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Navy in 1944, and became the coach at Great Lakes Naval Training (just north of Chicago).

Nor did they mention the fact that tOSU has had the fewest losing seasons (5) in college football since the polls started naming National Champions.

But I wouldn't expect them to say any of those things.

Wait! You mean they didn't do any factual reporting? They left out pertinent information concerning tOSU? Say it ain't so! I appreciate you posting the facts. It saved me from lifting my Archie signed helmet to check for myself.

Let me guess....ESPN is going to make the connection with the "hero" worship of these football stars, the $ people are willing to pay for them, and it was this culture that cultivated the memorabilia for tats scheme. They could also probably throw in the players who still have eligibility sold signed or game worn memorabilia for $.

They won't mention the fact that the last part has never been proved, but we wouldn't the truth to get in the way of a good story....

With the crap coming out of Bristol if I was some of the talent (and I use that word loosely) there at ESPN and had ties at OSU I would have to say something to my superiors. I know probably not going to happen with KH, but I got to believe Spielman and perhaps Robert Smith might have....
I don't know if I would go as far as quit in protest but I might be looking for other options when my contract was up....

ESPN is a joke.....i hope they gag on the SEC's nutsack...

I avoid ESPN as much as possible. But I watch College Football Live for 3 reasons:

1 - They do feature current news about college football, and I want to be current on CFB news. I follow a bunch of online websites (avoiding ESPN's), but also want to see a TV show that features CFB.

2 - I watch the way that they treat tOSU and report it on this board, in order to track things that they've said and done, and hold them accountable for it.

3 - My tracking it allows others to avoid it completely, knowing that if anything noteworthy occurs I'll post it. So other BP posters can continue to be outraged at ESPN without having to watch it at all. It's a public service. :biggrin:

#4 - Erin Andrews. She's not too smart, but she sure is nice to look at. If she ain't on, I ain't watching.
