Is ESPN at it again?

[Deleted]

Below is the alert I got on my phone. It seems they think "The Game" means something different to them !


ESPN - NCAAF: College GameDay going to "The Game" between Yale and Harvard in Cambridge, MA on Nov. 22

Well they do keep trying to call Michigan 'Big Blue', like they were Kentucky or IBM. So it's not like this is a total shock.

I don't think espn is up to anything in this case.

Yale/Harvard has also been called "The Game" for many years.

I know. And actually longer than we have used it. Just poking a little fun at the espn/sec anti B1G talk that is rampant.

This has actually been called The Game since before OSU and scUM first played. ESPN isn't trying to pull anything.

THIS, however, IS ESPN being at it again:



OSU beats a ranked team on the road while never trailing and escapes, TCU has to come from behind to beat a TERRIBLE Kansas team and they pass the test. Got it ESPiN.

I'm not going to concern myself with some unknown headline writer. Their power rankings moved the Buckeyes to five and dropped TCU to seven.

I said this in my previous post on this thread ?

You are so funny man. The rate at which you like to argue or try to prove something is impressive.

Huh? Wang quoted my initial post. The post right before his says I know the history and that I was just poking fun. And I am the one trying argue?
Either he did not read that post or he is trying to argue with me. Just figuring out which.

No sorry needed. I figured that was it.

Your post with the graphic is good. I really do think that is a result of the mind set that has developed within espn. That type of reporting has been done so much and aired so constantly that those writers for espn just naturally describe those headings that way. It's either that or they willfully crafted the wording that way.
