Makes you wonder if the diminishing the bowl games in hopes of a playoff expansion is a long term play for ESPN. 
Huh, interesting theory, not bad.  I also got the notion they paid relatively little attention to even NY6 bowl games, and almost none to the lesser bowls, some of which were quite compelling stories.

and I really think ESPN did a horrible job at televising not only our game but several other games.  SEC biased announcers are common but lack of replay coverage and just a horrible experience for those outside of the CB-series

speaking of ESPN, was it me or were several of the ESPN games not in HDTV this year?  felt like the feed quality was down.

I wasn't seeing quality issues with the video.  They had a few audio glitches.

I think ESPN announcers are all entirely shills for the Big Ten and say nothing but negative stuff about SEC teams.

probably all in HD, just turned down the bit rate somewhere along the network to save bandwidth

Yeah, they were certainly all in HD, maybe just not quite the same bit rate.  Turn to a non HD channel at some point to remember how truly bad it is.

Huh?  You've got that completely backwards.  ESPN trips over themselves trying to talk up the SEC every moment they can.

When a person says "I think ....", whatever follows is generally an opinion.  One can of course disagree with another's opinion, but it remains his opinion.

ESPN clearly favors the Big Ten in every way nearly all the time and constantly belittles the SEC, in my opinion.




















In basketball anyway.

I don't think Cincy is being serious.  I suppose in basketball....the Big Ten gets more love.  But as far as football goes....the SEC is basically the only thing that matters to ESPN.

I do think some of this is that folks can be uptrasensitive (sensative) about a comment here or there and not recall the other favorable comments made at different times.

It's akin to see the bad call that went against your team and basically overlooking the bad call in favor of your team.  Anyway, I have learned not to listen to ESPN in general so I'm no expert on what they say.  I doubt it has any impact on outcomes.  You might argue it could on polls.
