ESPN's coverage of pUKe's loss to BC

[ruppcat]

You might think when the #1 team in the country is defeated by a lessor team it would be the top news story on a slow sports day.....but not at espn.

The lead breaking news story as of this writing: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...iami-marlins-giancarlo-stanton-trade-talks<p>

You have to scroll down to find out the results of pUKe-BC.

Typical of espn.

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
He is going to the Yankees.

Remember how long we saw damn reruns of that game winner at IU beat us?

Remember how long we saw damn reruns of that game winner at IU beat us?

they still show that 6 years later

Exactly, fair treatment goes out the window when it doesn't favor Duke or UNC on ESPN and obvious to most of the country. One reason why ESPN is having problems.

Just saw Jay Williams crying about the court storming. He's worried about his boys.

I mean it's college students, it's not like they're in the middle of a prison riot

Stanton going to the Yankees is bigger news than Duke losing to a conference opponent, even if it is BC

 

[bbncal02]

Awww. Poor Dukie crying about being the victims of unsportsmanlike behavior.

Oh the irony.

Beat me to it...we have a very distorted sense of the cultural relevancy of college basketball in America in KY. Most people don't give a crap about the sport until the tournament.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Wait who^^

 

[marshalfan]

it was the lead at the halftime of the louisville indiana game. They talked a good amount about it. It seems we may be looking for a conspiracy

Jay wearing a sweater with Santa riding a chopper. Irony.

That's what this board does best. Invent conspiracies.

 

[marshalfan]

There are only 9 Duke threads on the front page.

Yep....only thing I raised an eyebrow out was one of them calling it a controversial finish with the intentional foul call on Duval. Huh, he grabbed and held on to a guy away from the ball, nothing controversial about that at all.

Lmaooooo

Sorry, but Stanton to the Yankees is easily a way bigger story than an early December #1 team loss.

Unless it's UK being #1 and losing, then it gets top billing on ESPN.

I realize college basketball is not even in the top 3 of nationwide popularity, but the Skipper run ESPN crew LOVES to shelter Duke/UNCheat.

 

[Ugoff]

Special segment to highlight "dangerous" court storming.....

Who is this Stanton????

That's right, Duke and UNC games are always officiated to perfection. No media bias or NCAA leniency with those schools either, and everyone knows it.

Funny how when it happened to us in 2012, it wasn't a big deal, but now it's something that must be addressed.

Cal was portrayed as a heal for canceling the IU game because of his teams treatment in Bloomington. Heck Vitale still rails about it.

come on guys court storming has been addressed for quite some time.

 

[UK2KJAG]

Stanton to the Yankees is absolutely a bigger deal. Hate ESPNs love for Duke but can’t fault them here. The Yankees now have the AL and NL HR leaders from last year

If we were getting stormed on the only mention of it would have been how awesome it was.

 

[WildMoon]

its okay,

so many people scared of Duke on this board makes up for lack of duke's loss news on ESPN.

I was so confused when i saw 3 40 - 0 thread...why we were talking about undefeated season...did we get a new recruit...only to be about ****ing duke.. smh.

poor poor me

Well I don't know about YOU but that describes your post pretty well.

 

[shaolin style]

Stanton news only matters to people that still watch baseball. And it's the offseason. But I'm sure they will talk about it for 10 hours to avoid showing Duke/BC highlights non stop.

 

[kentuckykowboy8]

I'm a UK homer and Yankee hater to the core... But even I'll admit Stanton to the Yanks is bigger. This is the reigning NL MVP and homerun leader joining the Yankees, who had the runner up in the homerun race. Duke losing is WAY bigger to me... but Stanton to the Yanks is the bigger news story.

 

[BoulderCat]

6 years is nothing. CBS showed Laettner's shot constantly for at least 20.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Nope. Bilas is clearly a duke homer / apologist along with subtly taking jabs at Cal and the cats the last couple of years. Trying to lump everyone who calls Bilas out as a “conspiracy theorist “ is ridiculous. Don’t be so daft.

Again... you work and try very very hard to make excuses for some of our very apparent haters.

Yep. Pretty common sense.

Paranoia run amuck.

 

[catben]

It most definitely was NOT when it happened to UK at IU in 2012. It was even looked at as being appropriate concerning the magnitude of the Hoosier win at ESPN.

Cal was the ONLY one that was upset with the lack of concern for his players security after the game.

It has only been addressed recently, that game was 6 years ago.

Why would he bitch about it?Allen could trip 10-15 people and get away with it

If we didn't look for 'em, we would never find them.

There will be no Duke bashing while spamburger is watching over Rafters.....
