I am probably being petty but I understand how the other conferences felt now that the AAC is going to be "on the outside looking in"...I listen to a couple college football podcasts and their season previews consisted of SEC, B1G, Pac12, ACC,Big 12 talk and Notre Dame... Nothing else. ESPNU's college football podcast went over the ESPN Power Rankings and didnt even talk Louisville but did talk of every team that was in a "Power 5" conference that was in their "power rankings"....

It will be very interesting to see what happens in the next few years as FoxSports launches their 24 hour sports channel Fox Sports 1 tomorrow.

I refuse to watch the Mouse and its affiliates. Even called my cable provider to let them know I don't want them and hope that we get a Tier option so we can pay for what we want only. ESPin is nothing more than a glorified Entertainment Network, like the Insider and other crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPin taking a swipe at Ville, USF and the conference with this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt ESPN bloggers made those errors on purpose and can guarantee you it happens to the other conferences as well. It is shoddy work? Yes, but again it happens to others. Don't get me wrong, I'm part of the " ESPN conspiracy theory" in which they are trying to undermine non P5, but not the the extent of the blog.

Hopefully Fox Sports 1 will be that channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not just one but several channels come to unseat ESPN. It is an abusive pseudo-monopoly they have on college football, and I hope in 2-3 decades nobody remembers their existence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
