So, for some reason I went to the ESPN website to check on the reactions to our big win over the number 2 team in the country and it was crickets! I realize our big TV contract is mostly tied to Peacock, Fox and BTN (majority Fox owned) and quite a few upcoming games on CBS as well, but good gravy. It is like the game wasn't even played. They have a pretty good website for looking up stats (which is one reason why I was still going there), but I am so done with ESPN. Other platforms ESPN supports/produces I am also diametrically opposed to. Now I have yet another reason to not support them. ESPN is majority own by Disney so that is all you need to know. If anyone is still supporting Disney (I no longer will), then I am sorry you are either ignorant or extreme.
Crickets: ESPN is Lame Rant!

It was the first story after about 4 of the NBA tournament games on the overnight SC. But yes, BiG is not the highest of priorities for the yelling and screaming network.
They’ve done an OK job on the college football side of not totally ignoring the BIG10 but the SEC love fest is a bit too much…even for an SEC grad.
Also have to take into account that CBB just isn’t as popular and certainly not on a lot of radars in November. I’d imagine most don’t know it’s even happening.

the only time I pay attention to ESPN is when it's on the TV as the gym. Their wokeness and virtue signaling turned me off years ago
Even when ESPN was part of our contract it was that way. They are east coast biased and it’s not just college basketball. Duke-UNC, Yankees-Red Sox, eagles-giants, bruins-rangers, etc
And all of the analysis/reporting and talent is just god awful. Nowhere near what it was back in the day.
Did you see last night that Jalen Rose resurfaced on the Peacock studio crew?
It's fortunate that there weren't any WNBA pre-season games for them to headline...our score would have been buried even further.
Yes I did! I like Jalen haha. He’s so much better than Perkins
and during halftime, all he mentioned was how Bama isn't doing this or doing that
The worst is looking at CBB scores on the website. In some idiot's twisted effort to show equality or something, they have decided to mix the mens and womens scores together. Put the women's scores at the top of the page and the mens at the bottom for all I care, but for god's sake keep them separate. So annoying.
