So, there will be an "Oregon is a Mystery" article tomorrow since they lost to the Hoyas and they now have the same records? Oregon was ranked and ranked highly. The Hoyas didn't sniff a ranking and should have lost to Maryland on paper. That was a story because of the way in which the Hoyas lost. They absolutely should have won that game. But ESPN thinks Maryland is a top 20 team. They probably won't be by end of season. Oregon probably will be. ESPN is garbage. Win and the articles don't matter. The hard part is the winning.

It's swimming upstream but Nova did it last year and we've done nothing since we left ESPN to help ourselves which is a big part of my frustration with our program. We still are a brand in the BE that people know in the country. They are still the network that molds the sports news for most fans in the country watching casually and the fact that we aren't with them doesn't bode well for us if you look at other things they stopped promoting. All we can do is hold up our end and win games like we did today.

The article wasn't bad at all Tas.. I didn't say it was bad. Just very superficial which is par for the course in terms of how they cover the BE. Which leads to Etomic's post. Of course we control our own destiny. ESPN is going to continue to lose viewership and they'll grasp at whatever they can and harm whomever they can to support a slowly dying business model. It's a crucial time for the BE and Georgetown in the sense that the media landscape is changing and a la carte programming is coming as much as the WWL wants that to not be the case. We need to, at minimum, stay competitive and newsworthy even for a network that wants to not have us covered at all. It's up to us to do that on our own. Coaches, players, administration. All hands on deck. I can't imagine the real fragmentation taking more than a decade.

What exactly is your objection? The article was pretty much spot on. I actually thought it was a positive article, considering what could be written about us recently. Superficial? What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? i didn't read the article but it's clear what ESPN's agenda is in terms of things they don't program. To say they are a sports news agency is incorrect as they are a self promotion machine. If they don't have your programming they'll do everything they can to ruin you. We are with Fox so we are now in that camp. I think we just need to right our ship and start being relevant like Nova was last year so we can't be dismissed and written off without a mention.
