Herbstreit got together with Cowherd and had a totally objective conversation about ESPN's objectivity:

"It's low-hanging fruit. It's all the dumb sheeple who believe the clueless Ken Doll on television who says he has inside information on those involved in a supposedly huge scandal at Ohio State because he claims to still matter there. Believe the soccer mom eye candy who swears he has inside information that Les Miles will be the next coach at Michigan. Then watch as he refuses to apologize for being not only dead wrong, but smearing kids and possible affecting their draft status and future employment opportunities. Because it sells TV ads and his only favorite non-SEC team BOY-ZEE was playing."

I like how instead of addressing why they spend 90% of air time discussing SEC teams on college gameday, they focus on calling anyone who believes they are biased names.

I also like the irony of calling anyone who believes they are biased sheeple after years of purposefully narrowing the appeal of their programing to those who enjoy listening to dumb people yell at each other for an hour.

It's a great combination of attacking the character of your opponent and projecting your biggest weakness onto your opponent. Well done, ESPN, well done.

Anyone have the stats handy for last week's college gameday showing how much time they spent discussing each conference?

edit: found it.

SEC 1:02:09
B1G 15:59
B12 15:19
Pac12 10:57
DIII 5:00
Ivy 1:08
ACC 0:43

LOL hysterical. More time spent on SEC than every other conference COMBINED (and then some).

Fowler spent more time screeching about the SEC bias issue than they spent talking about the ACC :slappy:

My take is that it's a "Nothing to See Here" year for the ACC... and I don't mean that they suck; rather there is nothing for ESPN to gain w/ all the negative press on the only other conference they have majority control over.

If you spend more than 43 seconds on that conference, it's inevitably going to involve violence against women, drugs, corrupt police departments, etc. ... as the NFL discovered, not all press is good press.

I wonder why Laquon Treadwell isn't going for the ball.

The halftime show of the Arizona-UCLA game they gave the performers of the day. Yes, you guessed it 3 out of the 4 were SEC players. Totally ignored a Pitt running back (Conner) who went for over 260 yards. If he was in the SEC they would be promoting him for the Heisman...:mock:
