Guy Chamberlin Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We're not even Top 20 in media bias anymore. http://www.cornnation.com/2014/12/14/7351623/espns-secret-hate-list-revealed (I hope we can retire this lame whine in the future, but I'm sure it won't go away) 1 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 They hate everyone. Last I checked, Nebraska falls in the "everyone" category. I knew it. I was right all along. Quote Link to comment
BigBoyBoelts Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 ESPN saying it doesn't have a bias toward the SEC, is like a bank saying they don't LIKE money. 2 Quote Link to comment
Drive1010 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I love how Chris Fowler and Co. had to go on an offensive to blast people for saying ESPN has a total SEC bias and agenda. Calling them tinfoil crowd. It's not tinfoil when you have a business partnership with the SEC...and like printing money - nothing was more obvious when ESPN pushed Bama to get a rematch with LSU during the Okie State/OU game as the Cowboys were blasting the Sooners...all the announcers just dismissed it during the game and they had Saban on gameday promoting his cause. 1 Quote Link to comment
beorach Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Anyone remember what Fowler wrote the night Nebraska beat Tennessee to send TO out a winner (again)? It was something to the effect of how his stomach was turning over Nebraska getting a share of the NC. Chris Spielman and Pam Ward laughing over how the NU-OU game "used to matter" was a close second for irritating ESPN blather for me. It's hair-pulling stuff and we shouldn't let it bother us but forgetting is still tough. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What Spielman and Ward said was actually the truth. Where did OU finish in the rankings this year? And Nebraska? And when did those two actually played a football game against each other? Quote Link to comment

Army Navy is a Big Deal and if you think its not you're not much of a college football fan. While big time schools chase money and fame with some players that couldn't get hired to mop floors at the Service Academies. Army and Navy field teams of young men who will give at least 6 years to the defense of our nation. get your head back out into the sunshine ira. T_O_B 1 Quote Link to comment

That is all thats talked about during the week. The Army isn't as much because of their win-loss record in the last few years, but it is still a huge deal. Quote Link to comment
dergibog Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Army Navy game is on CBS, not ESPN. Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Anyone remember what Fowler wrote the night Nebraska beat Tennessee to send TO out a winner (again)?

Chris Spielman and Pam Ward laughing over how the NU-OU game "used to matter" was a close second for irritating ESPN blather for me. It's hair-pulling stuff and we shouldn't let it bother us but forgetting is still tough. Anyone remember Fowler and Corso appearing on Nebraska's Legacy Video, calling Nebraska fans the best in college football, and Lincoln the best gameday experience? Or ESPN's college football panel voting two Nebraska teams in the top three of their all-time greatest college teams? Or voting Jack Hoffman's run in the Nebraska Spring Game the single best event of the entire sporting year at last year's ESPY Awards? Or voting Jordan Westerkamp's behind the back catch the 2014 play-of-the-year just last week? Didn't think so. They did, unfortunately, have to report Nebraska's annual freefall out of relevance, and they generally used kinder language than most Husker fans here on HuskerBoard. 1 Quote Link to comment
minnHusker6 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Even the espn bloggers/experts/writers didn't pick the big ten to win any bowl game. Rittenberg is an idiot. Fn nerd who knows nothing about football and is just the 17th revenge of the nerd in the movie. I HATE ESPN. Quote Link to comment
