even in loss, after 150 straight non conf home wins, the headline is:

‘Donations Spike for SFA’s Bain After Duke Upset’

it just never stops

The correction they sent out three minutes later STILL showed errors, but at least had AZ listed as the winner

Not mad, but they don't deserve your generous benefit of the doubt.

Did any other coaches give half time or post game interviews on ESPN during feast week? No half time interviews for our 3 games and the feed was cut right after the game ended.

ESPN's schedule for Saturday morning at 9am:

ESPN - Louisiana vs. #21 Appalachian State (College Football)
ESPN2 - #23 Villanova vs. Saint Joseph's (M Basketball)
ESPNU - #12 Arizona vs. #18 Baylor (M Basketball)

Now tell me that makes a fucking lick of sense.

It makes sense when you fully understand how hard they are pushing Disney+ and ESPN+ subs.

Our crime is having a large invested fanbase.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Jimmy Dikes fellating Baylor all game was so nauseating, almost happy ESPN is such a joke that they cut the game off a minute to go with a one point margin


"All Baylor fans need to switch from the football game to this game now!" annnnd cut

They did go back to it after a couple minutes.

Made the Pac 12 network look competent.

Damn, I would've lost my mind if I couldn't see the end of the game.

But look on the bright side, you didn't have hear Jimmy Dykes anymore!

Mine switched back with no sound (ESPN+ app).

So it was really the best of both worlds.

When it happened, I envisioned the scene from “Forest Gump” when Gump was speaking at the Washington Mall and that anti-war dude was pulling the audio cords so no one could hear him speak - except is was Dick Vitale...

Do we really think it was an accident that we missed Nico's shot and the feed came back up with 35 seconds left? I dont. Someone needs to snitch
