Its been going on for a few years. Bo did it last year.Is this the first year of the Car Wash .......... I had never heard of it.
That's what ESPN calls it, so I'm not sure if the term is official or not, but they've been doing it for around 5 years.Is this the first year of the Car Wash .......... I had never heard of it.
This is what absolutely baffles me. Coaches should be milking every ounce of media coverage for their programs and conferences as they can get. To think otherwise makes no sense.I don't have any problem with the "all or none" rule. That way there is no "appearance" of ESPN choosing favorites from each conference.
The real problem to me is coaches that would not want to spend a day getting their program exposure at ESPN. I'm going to guess Farentz was one that didn't want to go. Hell, even Bo had enough sense to go and get some positive media coverage. Guys like Meyer, Franklin, and Harbaugh live for the media exposure of their programs. It would also do Nebraska/Riley a hell of a lot of good to get our name front and center for a day at ESPN.
As much as people here hate on ESPN, they are still the gold standard in CFB TV programming. What goes on their airwaves shapes the CFB discussion, and it hurts the B1G not to have their day in the sun. IMO, Delany needed to step in and mandate that everyone attend.
MR did the coach analysis for the championship game.They should release the schools that did not want to participate...I am assuming HCMR would be in..first year guy and wants to get exposure out there. If he was against it, no need to release it then ;-).
Looks like he's enjoying himself.Its been going on for a few years. Bo did it last year.Is this the first year of the Car Wash .......... I had never heard of it.
I believe the B1G won a couple games at the end of last season.In all these years, I've never even heard of the 'espn car wash'. Win games----->get publicity.
