Another ESPN b**** thread

Way to go ESPN, you have no called Adam Koch Adam Cock twice today. I can't wait to hear you pronounce Ali's name, Kwadjo, Egleseder, Cedar Rapids, and Northern Iowa University today.....

I liked the part where they said "if Eglseder gets that close to the basket he doesn't miss".

Apparantly they didn't do any research on us

I was amazed at the start the guy said UNI vs Siena not NIU

Re: Another ESPN b**** thread

To expect an outsider to get the names right 100% of the time isn't realistic, unless it's Moran or something. I can think of a couple of casual fans here who can't figure out the pronounciations either, and that's after being somewhat exposed to the program for a few seasons.

I only saw the second half, but I thought ESPN did a good job. They were fair, and heaped some pretty high praise on us even as we were getting beaten badly.

They should be able to grab the media guide and do a little research. They also said that when Jordan gets the ball down low you might as well go down to the other end. Jordan is notorious for missing layups.

I remember hearing them talk about how difficult the names are. I thought they were alright. They obviously just made some blanket statements like mentioning if JE gets the ball low just count it. They were pretty complimentary though I thought.
