E-Mail ESPNU

[NoPlaceLikeDome]

I myself e-mailed ESPNU to inform them of their mistakes. If anyone else would like to, I put the link at the end of this post.

Re: E-Mail ESPNU

I emailed. First time I have ever done that.

How many times will the worldwide leader in sports continue to put NIU up for the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) on studio shows, during broadcasts, etc? How hard is it to find out that we go by UNI and Northern Illinois goes by NIU? It is not like there are a ton of schools out there with the combination of letters. ESPN has become a caricature of itself with actual sports fans.

Who's now? Not ESPN, that is for certain.

I will hang up and listen for your Patriot, Yankees and Red Sox updates.

Re: E-Mail ESPNU

I agree 100%, but as upset as we are about constantly being mixed up with NIU, imagine how pissed they probably are that ESPN thinks they are FCS. I bet Coach Kill wishes he had a team as good as an FCS playoff team, though.

Did you get a reponse from them?

Re: E-Mail ESPNU

I sent an email similar to the one FM sent. I'll let you know what I get for a reply, if I get one

Displaying "NIU" is one thing....actually saying the words "Northern Illinois" in reference to us is embarassing.

Did they actually do that? I thought they said it correctly, but the crawl was just wrong.

Come to think of it I did not hear them say it, thought I remember someone else saying they did. Perhaps they did not. Of course I had just returned from an afternoon of eating wild mushrooms in the mountains.

Here's mine:

While I appreciate the attention you've given FCS football while airing the FCS Playoff Selection Show, I am disappointed with the effort put into the show. I'm not really sure how hard it is to figure out the University of Northern Iowa is not Northern Illinois University. For one thing it's in a completely different state. For another its in a different sub division. And for crying out loud you showed footage of the team with "UNI" on their helmets and still called them NIU. What's up??

I sent a message late last night before this thread was started - I was that disappointed. Anyway, I haven't heard a word and don't expect one.

Re: E-Mail ESPNU

You no what makes me mad? The Whole NIU made me mad, but what poor effort explaining OUR game! They made a big deal and spent more time on games that don't seeds, and we're the #3 seed and they spent little to no time on our game. Is it because we're in the Midwest or from Iowa? Or just because the ESPN guys are D'bags?

I think it was a time issue....if you noticed they gave significant time to JMU and ASU because they are the 1 & 2 seeds, very little to us and Montana as we're 3 & 4.

Anybody notice that little blurb at the end about SIU going all the way? No idea where that came from...the dude who likes like he's 19 said it.

Re: E-Mail ESPNU

I totally forgot one fact, I know I might get yelled at for this. But while ASU Coach Jerry Moore was being interview he got us right and said "It's not be a easy go for us the last three years we've had to go through teams like UNI, and UMass and Deleware..."

Hey he might be one of our biggest rivals but at least he cares enough to get our name right....
