Blackshirtsguru Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I remember being at that game with my dad and brothers. Watching Keith Jackson make some clutch catches at the end of the ball game was brutal! Quote Link to comment

Chef K Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Might be me and my disdain for ESPN, but it seems like the majority of the "classic" Husker games that they show are ones in which they lose. Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Uh.....is this the same ESPN that ranked the 1971 Huskers and the 1995 Huskers as two of the top three College Football teams of ALL TIME? Nothing makes Nebraska fans look like witless cornheads more than whining about how ESPN doesn't like us. Quote Link to comment
SkullandBones Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 huh? What's ESPN have to do with Arute being a tool? Quote Link to comment

Nothing makes Nebraska fans look like witless cornheads more than whining about how ESPN doesn't like us. Actually that was voted on by fans... Husker fans to be more specific... I hope Nebraska pulls through on this one... Quote Link to comment

And to think that ESPN doesn't play favorites is just being naive. Quote Link to comment

Nothing makes Nebraska fans look like witless cornheads more than whining about how ESPN doesn't like us. As already stated. ESPN didn't "vote" for Nebraska, football fans did. And to think that ESPN doesn't play favorites is just being naive. Indeed the fans voted. But so did the ESPN staff. Here's what they came up with: http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/colfootball/teams/best.html To determine bias, you'd have to watch ESPN without your own bias. You'd have to notice that they talk about the strengths and weaknesses of EVERY team and admit that you don't freak out when they dissect the weaknesses of teams not called Nebraska. Or publicize the arrest of Miami players. Or pump up underdogs a bit against traditional powerhouses like Nebraska used to be, because non-partisans (and especially broadcasters) are rooting for a good game. You'd also have to add in the fact that beyond a 6 year run in the 1990s, Nebraska often came up short in big games and sometimes really tanked on national TV and you didn't need to be an ESPN broadcaster to notice that. You'd also have to notice that ESPN has treated Nebraska with the respect a legendary college football program deserves, and however many "what's up with Nebraska?" stories they might be running of late, they are at least as accurate and respectful as the carping that goes on in here by the very Nebraska fans who complain about people doubting Nebraska. But then, if a professional college football analyst predicting another team might beat Nebraska qualifies as bias, then yes, you guys are so, so right. You know what might change that bias? Hundreds of whiny e-mails to Kirk Herbstriet. Have at it. p.s. Jack Arute IS a tool. Quote Link to comment
