We’ve been on our current server setup for 14 months. We’ve not had a single unplanned outage to date until yesterday. Even before the majority of the country was awake and at their computers or browsing the web on their phones, Mark May’s demotion broke our servers.
I’m not going to hide from the fact that I’m an Ohio State alum and that this is something that brought us great great joy. We typically attempt to adhere to some level of professionalism in running this site (at least some times) and while a couple of times I paused in my zealous celebration of May’s demotion feeling a bit guilty (I treated myself to an ice cream sundae and watched an hour of Seinfeld when I should have been working to celebrate #MarkMayVictoryDay), the fact is ESPN and May subjected Ohio State fans, Notre Dame fans, and countless college football fans to an unbelievably long tenure of hell that it’s only human nature to delight that the era has officially ended.
The problem with this move is that they have two people that attempt to play tv villians but are horrible at it. They think loud and obnoxious while stating every common objective view point makes a good villian, but fail to understand originality is the key to playing that point of view. I know these arent people's favorite people but its hard to argue that Finebaum, Cowherd, and Bayless dont bring more originality to their persona than Kannell and Galloway.I loved watching this show every Saturday night/Sunday morning almost as much as I love watching Alabama Football. Bad decision by espn. Kanell is tolerable but galoway is a pure ohio homer. Anyone who cannot leave thier biases at the door does not need to be on tv. Will not be watching.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqQi5waf12MI have to agree with everyone on this board. Can't watch because of the two but also just wondering does the rest of the Country but the SEC hate Mark May?
And that crowd is much greater than the pro SEC crowd. The rest of the country calls them ESecPN. This will change that.Catering to the non-SEC crowd as has been stated. I guess it is too much to ask to get people on the show who don't ooze bias.
Yeah, busted. I know I conflated his name with David Greene, who was the QB at the same time Pollack was at UGA. I think he and Greene were rommates IIRC.Pollack had to have been a pretty big QB:biggrin:
Sorry bro, just picking.
Yeah, and they will complain all year about what Kannell and Galloway say. I would guess 90% of those who have said they won't watch that show will and complain all day on here Sunday.the sad thing is some people will still watch and post videos on here of what these two idiots say.
I think they are trying to cater to those fans of other conferences that feel "jilted" because of the SEC Network. Put some anti-SEC numbskulls on your prime post-game show and all of a sudden those "other fans" are talking about how awesome the show is and how they "put the SEC in their place." At least I think that's ESPN's logic in this whole thing. But it seems like there are a lot of fans for a lot of teams that don't like these two knuckleheads, so we'll see how that works out.why is espn creating such a void between sec network and their show? well, this football fan and sec supporter will not tune to listen to their garbage.
Yes, it`s resoundingly obvious what ESPN is trying to do. Though they would no doubt deny it vehemently, how could anybody with half a brain come to any other conclusion? They weren`t even the least bit subtle about it.And that crowd is much greater than the pro SEC crowd. The rest of the country calls them ESecPN. This will change that.
Umm, because every show on ABC pushes that agenda?ESPN is in sharp decline. There are other sports media outlets who do it better now. Why else do you think ESPN gave the Arthur Ashe "Courage" Award to Michael Sam last year and is giving it to Bruce Jenner this year over people who have faced true adversity? It isn't about substance anymore in Bristol.
