I think Seth Greenberg is replacing him on ESPN.

I'll take Seth over that douchebag Gottlieb all day. Seth made a disparaging comment about USF because he was pissed off on how his tenure ended in Tampa. Gottlieb used his platform to **** on USF for no other reason than to entertain his minion following. Hope his shows are a colossal fail.

He was pissed off because he took a better job when he was like VT's 4th or 5th choice?

Plus, he stole one of our recruits, which was in violation of his contract.

If Lynch's waiver gets approved, it will be the best team we've ever had.

It would be one of our best defenses, but there are still plenty of question mark on offense.

espn has had many people jumping ship lately. cbs and nbc are ramping up their pay and pulling the talent away. the fall of espn will be slow, but it will happen sooner or later.

i really hope the big east gets on board with nbc sports. it won't be the biggest deal ever, but it would surely help swing the pendulum a little.
