ESPN bias

[wintersmd]

It's all gambling and fantasy football now. Super lame.

Like Miller and Condon on KXNO

The Kentucky program who hasn’t won a NC in 12 years and hasn’t been to a FF in 9 years? S16 since 2019? Oh and all of that with the most NBA draft picks?

You should direct that energy towards UK.

Yeah I hesitated to put UK on the list & didn’t put Duke btw. UK has had a history of success under many coaches, we’ll see how Duke does. If Few ever leaves, Zags will weaken.

Everything sux.

Sports media has followed mainstream media in moving to a 24/7 news cycle. Problem is there isn't really interesting news happening in the world of sports 24/7 unless you're just a die-hard fan of all things sports.

Companies like ESPN are successful, so there must be more interest in this than I'm estimating.

Ehhh it's a lot better than Iowa football lol. They're an extremely good "mid-major". Last 9 seasons:

E8
S16
National Championship Runner Up
S16
E8
National Championship Runner Up
S16
E8
S16

I'd take that for the next decade especially if we get our Natty this yr.

 

[NWICY]

He’s missed over 60% of regular season games in his career. If you’re only playing every 3rd game that means you’re a bust regardless of the numbers you have.

The best ability is availability

Damn work every 3rd game for that kind of money, sign me up. Actually I'd work every day for that kind of money.

Nothing is hurting us in recruiting right now.

That argument about tv coverage is no longer relevant, IMHO.

And I actually think the ESPN app is an amazing viewing experience right now. How cool is it that you can choose 1,2,3, or 4 games, arrange them how you want, and choose what games go where on your tv?

Cmon YoutubeTv you need to do that too!

I think they do that.

As a pure glutton for punishment, I'm watching College Gameday this morning. I wonder if they will even bother to spend 30 seconds collectively on the Big 12

 

[NENick]

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm watching College Gameday right now. Bilas just said Auburn and Duke are the best 2 teams.

We are on the same wavelength! Lol

And the guy from Marquette was mentioned with Flagg and Broome. . uh......???? I watched Marquette play Iowa State. Gilbert and Jones were better players. LOL......

 

[AllInForISU]

Yeah that looks actually very good but I’d be interested in how they were seeded those nine years and if they were taken out by a lower seed. Obviously getting in two finals in nine years exceeds anything the Hawkeye football program has accomplished.

2024 S16 No
2023 E8 Yes
2022 S16 Yes
2021 National Championship Runner Up Same (1)
2020 Cancelled
2019 S16 Yes
2018 E8 Yes
2017 National Championship Runner Up Same (1)
2016 S16 No but lost to a 10 seed as an 11
2015 E8 No

Where’s the guy who said Cooper Flagg wasn’t that good?

 

[Pharmacy99]

Where’s the guy who said Cooper Flagg wasn’t that good?

That’s me. He is better than I thought. Let’s see if he is a generational talent

 

[JohnnyFive]

ESPN anchors were almost in tears about Broome getting hurt

 

[FriendlySpartan]

ESPN anchors were almost in tears about Broome getting hurt

Because he’s the best player in cbb? The tin foil hat is messing with your brain

I just heard it on the ladies game broadcast, and I've heard it countless times during MBB and football this year: "Ames, Iowa isn't for everyone." Can't stand that phrase. Why isn't Ames for everyone? What specifically is wrong with our college town? It always comes off as the worst kind of backhanded remark.

Our own head football coach said it on national tv after the Pop Tarts bowl game. I like it, it isn’t for everyone.

Bad weather, small town, not really any history in the grand scheme of things.

Isn’t that just quoting Campbell, which he followed with “it’s a special place”
