ESPN bias

[Beatlesreb]

Anyone listen to ESPN radio? If so, does it seem as if they go way overboard on Notre Dame? Or Ohio State, Mich. State? I listened last night, and just these schools took center stage. Hell, we just whipped LSU-very little said, and then MSU gets by Ark. in dramatic fashion. Man, I was peed off! And not the first time!

The TV guys really brag on Oxford and the Grove. It seems to be a trip they enjoy.

Right, they do brag on Oxford and the Grove. Radio commentary is so different. Talking about Marioti and Harmon.

Maybe they checked the TV ratings. MichSt OhSt had the highest ratings of any college football game this season, in part by pulverizing the SEC on CBS. It had direct playoff implications and the defending CFP champ. OM-LSU-Ark-MS was two games where the highest ranked team now sits at a lofty 19 in the AP. ND currently in top 4 for CFP berth. There's the bias.

When did they pulverize the SEC? Like to see Alabama take on Notre Dame. ND vs UF-great game! Not saying ND, MSU or OSU are not worth talking about, but it's always an all night affair! By the way, Ole Miss will give Mich. St a run for their money. Brubrew, do you ever listen to ESPN radio?

Pulverized in the ratings, where the money is! The SEC didn't have much on week twelve, but in the weeks of the Ala-LS, Ala-Miss game and others, there is no shortage of talk on ESPN. The ESPN Xtra network is SEC centric with four hours of Paul F. every day.

I'll look up ESPN Xtra. I did listen to Finebaum until the local station in Panama City went down, I believe, to a storm. Thanks for the info. brubrew. To me, it just seems ND gets so talked about ad nauseum. There are teams called the Gators, Tide, Razorbacks, who have improved greatly, MSU and Rebels, all who could beat any team in the Big 10 or ND.Several times I've had to turn the station or switch off. Then again, maybe it's just me-no one else has responded to my post
