I also noticed the favoritism toward OK and especially Ricketts. It was obvious which team they were rooting for. Oh well, I suppose you have to earn the respect with a championship before they start showing any love. I will say, Ricketts can bring the smoke; that gal is so tough. I have my doubts that we can beat her unless she has an off night, but I am wishing the best for the Tide.
I complained to ESPN about the biased commentary by Beth Mullins, et al, prior to the championship game. I particularly noted the lovefest with the Pac12 and the crush on Ricketts. It may have worked as I found the commentary during the 1st game of the championship to be fair and balanced. It is rotten that the ladies didn't figure out Ricketts' pitches, but they live to fight another day. Good luck tonight!

Oh I picked up on it several times.. especially towards the end of the game comment about Oklahoma "giving" Alabama the 8 runs.. funny I don't remember them walking 8 people in pretty sure they came in on hits.

The comment about OU "giving" Bama 8 runs was totally unprofessional and uncalled for. Interesting that they didn't come back and say that Bama "gave" OU 5 runs in the seventh.

Agreed. The announcers are terrible. Couldn't believe the "giving" comment either..
