BB73 I am in no way trying to stick up for what went on at PSU. However the school itself, A BIG school is getting killed by espn. Now you actually have people at that network trying to get child molestation and free tats in the same sentence as often as possible. And YES everyone involved with the BIG better start working on what to do as there is a huge financial difference between 1 team in a BCS bowl and 2 teams.

I'm not suggesting that you were sticking up for PSU. Your previous post said that ESPN railroaded JoePa, and I was just stating that I don't believe that ESPN was responsible for his firing, or for providing any negative coverage of JoePa that he didn't deserve.

I thought their coverage of the night of the firing was somewhat comical, though. They were showing live coverage of what was happening that night, and they were calling it a "riot', when not much happened other than 1 media van being toppled. It was almost like they hoping that there would be a lot more violence/property damage - which would help their ratings on the live broadcast and enable them to portray the Penn State community in a negative light. An they were happy to do so since it was a B1G school.

EDIT - NOTE that several followup posts were moved form this thread into the Sandusky thread - the PSU mess doesn't belong in this thread.

ESPN working so hard to drive home their agenda of an SEC rematch. Even after OkSU pounds Oklahoma into the ground, they want to get Chris Fowler and Herbie on tv to suck the SEC's jock some more. It's bad enough they had Saban on Gameday for the entire show this morning... We get it, you have a big contract with the SEC. BE A LITTLE OBJECTIVE!!!

Good link here... It has you select which team you think is #2. Basically showing OkSU's resume is superior to Bama's. Also, Bama already had their shot against LSU, at home and at night... Why should they get another one?

See, now I have a theory that if they actually put the "OkSU" on the helmets..espn wouldn't confuse them with TOSU and therefore not vote for them..of course for this theory to be true you'd need to find evidence of espn actually being that stupid.

I understand the animus that so many of you feel toward ESPN. But having just watched the Jim Valvano speech at the 1993 Espys, I gotta say that the network brought it big time when Jimmy V needed support. Kudos, and RIP Jimmy V.
