As a sports writer, as well as many other beats, I've learned over the past 10 years that when college football season starts, there's three teams that curve the spine of every sportscaster in the nation. I've talking about the University of Georgia, the University of Michigan and the University of Oklahoma. Every year, no matter how good these teams are, every sports caster in the nation must make then out to be fools. Last night I was watching the Oklahoma/Alabama-Birmingham game when the sportscaster from TBS (?) was on the side of UAB the whole game, even at one point saying, "What a tackle?" totally ignoring the good pass and catch by Oklahoma for a pedestrian tackle near the sidleline. The only sport TBS is good at broadcasting is Atlanta Braves baseball.
Why do people hate these teams and relish University of Southern California, Miami, Florida State and Texas. Sure, Texas and USC played in the national championship last year, but how come everyone was waiting for Ohio State University to collapse in 2002 after beating Miami in a nail biter?
It's no doubt that ESPN hates UGA and Terry Bowden always wants to play devil's advocate, but what journalistic talent do these idiots have. Terry Bowden's only claim to fame is that his daddy squirted him out of his dick many years ago. That's it.
Say what you will about Bob Costas and Al Michaels, but at least they know what they are talking about before they get in front of the camera.
Now, are you ready for some football?
