Not-Notre-Dame #1 vs. Not-Notre-Dame #2
Not-Notre-Dame #1 vs. Not-Notre-Dame #2
I’m glad to see someone else was as pissed about the press coverage by ESPN2 of the Oklahoma-Tulsa game as I was last night.
Could we please, like, um, call the game we’re watching, instead of spending ten minutes talking to Lou Holtz about Notre Dame, blocking the entire screen off with Notre Dame’s schedule, and letting at least 3 penalties go unexplained because we’re too busy talking about Notre Fucking Dame?
The press coverage of Oklahoma has always been biased; during the Miami game two weeks ago they stopped calling the game to take five minutes to talk in detail about each of the Miami players and their relationship with their coach. Last night was far, far worse, however. Anybody else want to throw their beer through the TV, and only didn’t because - how sterotypically Oklahoman would that be? We don’t need another incident like this one.

We were watching the game at Buffalo Wild Wings last night, and people were PISSED. I’m just amazed really. Why is the press coverage so biased? I wrote an email to ESPN last night:
Subject: I don’t think Notre Dame was playing in Oklahoma last night..
So why did your announcers spend so much time talking about Notre Dame, their schedule and players? I’m pretty sure that Oklahoma played Tulsa last night, and I’m pretty sure that’s the game that the viewers wanted to see. If we wanted to know about Notre Dame, we would have waited and watched WHEN Notre Dame was ACTUALLY playing. It would almost seem like that their was some bias about OU, which would be just wrong. Just something to think about.
As to the other incident, I’m not surprised. Just a another incident to make outsiders think that we’re all just a bunch of beer-swilling, backwards rednecks. Very sad.

And while we’re talking Holtz, can we railroad some sort of legislation through Congress to keep his ass off of high-definition television? ‘Cause seriously, oh my god, the man looks like a yam in a wig.

Well… as you probably know, if it’s not ACC basketball, I could really give a rat’s ass about it… BUT… that story you linked is HILARIOUS! Y’all are crazy!
