Well, last I saw of BG, they were up 18-0 on Miami(OH), after a lengthy weather delay. Then, someone at ESPN decided I’d rather see UCLA-New Mexico State basketball in the PRESEASON NIT.
Someone at ESPN is lucky I kept my civility cap on, and didn’t go all hacker crazy on ’em:
I understand that tonight’s weather in Oxford, Ohio put your programming schedule in scramble mode. But the fact that I am now forced to watch an early season basketball team between two schools 3,000 miles away is crap! No other way about it. None. I’ve put up with alot from your network, the joke of a broadcast you call SportsCenter, the constant love for all things Boston/New York, a pathetic excuse for a broadcast team on Sunday Night Football, but this one hits close to home. I’m a Bowling Green alumnus, and while I love that they get coverage on your network occasionally, the way they are handled, as second rate programming is abominable. It’s no wonder the “big conferences” continue to get rich while the “mid-majors” get laughed off the map. Your priorities, like your network of late, suck beyond belief. I’m in Indianapolis, less than two hours from this game, and I’m stuck watching crappy basketball. Unbelievable. If you’re going to screw with the MAC like this, at least let us keep games on Saturdays.
Funny, I just sent them a less than civil email regarding the same thing. As fans, we need to boycott the mouse’s empire, especially ESPN. But the MAC has some responsibility here in selling out to ESPN in order to get national exposure. Instead of being able to attend the BG vs Miami or Toledo games the last 3 years, I’ve had to watch them on TV because they wanted the exposure instead of making it convenient for fans. The MAC needs to get this crap corrected, now! The MAC and ESPN can both get bent. I’ll spend my money elsewhere.
Quiet, the mouse will hear you.
I’m just happy to have escaped from Millett Hall!
I believe “ESPN, lick my choad” were John Paul Sartre’s last words.
I thought Jean Paul Sartre’s last words were “Au revoir, gopher.”???
