Doug Gottlieb was talking about the December Bowl games on ESPN Radio Christmas night (that’s 25 DEC for those of you who worship at the Temple of the Bahr). He was talking about how the December Bowl games are fun to watch because the viewer gets an opportunity to see a team that they may have not seen in the regular season, etc…
So his guest was some ESPN needle dick who did the New Mexico Bowl broadcast, couldn’t really catch the dude’s name because I was on the road. Anyways, so this penis floss pretty much says, “I agree with you 100%, Doug. Its always exciting seeing some of these teams win a bowl game that would not have a shot at winning if they were playing in a JAN bowl.”
Doug G(fuck his last name) says, “well the New Mexico Bowl wasn’t much of a game. The Lobos killed Nevada.”
“Yes Doug, you’re right. It was just exciting to get to see New Mexico get their first bowl win since the 1961 Aviation Bowl. And this was a real bowl too, not some game just organized by the university or some business with New Mexico ties to get the Lobos a charity win.”
ESPN, tongue my balls long and hard. The New Mexico Bowl is one of five bowls operated by ESPN Regional Television. There is a fucking office for that subsidiary of ESPN in Albuquerque. ESPN, you gave New Mexico that charity win, don’t try to act like there is a group of businessmen in Albuquerque just woke up one day and said, “fuck, lets start a bowl game.” None of these five ESPN bowls have SEC ties, fucking fascists.
ESPN bowl match-ups are C-USA/Pac-10 (alternating years) vs. Mtn West in the Armed Forces Bowl, Mtn West vs. WAC in the New Mexico Bowl, C-USA vs. Big East or MAC in the Papajohns.com Bowl, Mtn West vs. PAC-10 in the Las Vegas Bowl, and C-USA vs. WAC (with a special inclusion for ESPN’s darling Hawaii) in the Hawaii Bowl. No one can tell me that a 6-6 SEC team (South Carolina, maybe) couldn’t beat any of these BCS B-list and non -BCS C-list teams. They really do hate the nation’s superior conference.
Anyone who saw Kirk Herbstreit’s PMS fit last year when the Gates (3rd best team in the SEC last year) “snuck in” the BCS CG and consequently dominated Tosu can’t deny ESPN’s bias towards the Big 10 and other conferences they have television contracts with over the nation’s superior conference. What’s the root behind this consipracy? CBS, not ESPN, gets the first choice in what SEC game to broadcast any given weekend. Since Ron Franklin, aka The Godfather, was exiled after the Holly Rowe incident, Bammer Reece Davis is the only voice of reason on that network on the college football side of the house. And I can’t forget about Big East hater Collin Cowheard. He’s not afraid to speak the truth either. Only two doodz out of an entire network of talking heads. WTF?
They also love shoving the BoSox/Yankee’s down my throat during baseball season. Each of the 16 Boston/New York games in the regular season (regardless of the standings) is hyped up like Game 7 of the World Series. And how many of those games are on ESPN? Last season, 13 of the 16 were televised on ESPN. The ESPN hype machine is always in full force, using their products (SportsCenter, Baseball Tonight, College Football Live) to subconsciously promote their self (Monday Night Football, Yankees/BoSox, Big 10 and Big East football).
Nothing is more proof of this than Big East football. This whole league got lucky when UGA fell asleep for the first half against WVU in the ’05 Sugar Bowl. ESPN jumped on what was left of the Big East after the ACC raped them and has been hyping them since as real football. They do this with the Big East but what is worse is their infatuation with all things Big 10. ESPN believes in the motto that if you continue to tell a lie over and over it will eventually be accepted as truth. Michigan and Ohio State isn’t the nation’s premier rivalry. The intinsity of Ohio State/ Michigan is matched every weekend in the SEC and not just by the established hate-fests of UAT/Auburn, UT/UF, or Arkansas/LSU. Any teams that are in close proximity to one another in the SEC match and surpass the Tosu/UM intensity. Ole Miss and Arkansas fans already didn’t like each other, how do you think its going to be next season? You’re fucking Nutts if you don’t think that is going to be an intense game.
That whole network can die. They are going to continue to hate the SEC as long as CBS has the contract with the SEC. They are going to continue to try and convince the public that shit like Da Ville vs. WVU is the hot new college football rivalry. No one outside of the Big East buys into that shit.
And one more reason why ESPN sucks. (Insert catch phrase) BOOYAH!
