ESPNU has got to go (or change significantly)

Mike, or any of the readers of this blog, how can we petition to get things changed with ESPNU?  (From what I have read on this site, I can think of at least three people who could provide far more coherent insight.)  I am all for a station fully devoted to college athletics.  I have paid extra on my cable package to watch the station with somewhat regularity.  But for the love of the game, please stop glamorizing the role of the broadcasters so damn much.  When the game starts they show the list of things they are going to cover on the game like it is a grand production or the 11 o'clock news, not a football game.  Only thing we were missing was a Lou Holtz pep talk.  Fans tune in to see the game with great footage and great (relevant) commentary.  Thats it.  

Ok, maybe one other thing...some sideline reporters as well.  The select company of Erin Andrews and maybe Michele Tafoya and only a couple other belong anywhere near the field.  There is no secret why this has become common place.  Beside the unmentioned feature that gives them these positions, if they cannot say anything of value, quit wasting our time.  (Everyone like funnel cakes, big deal, and why don't you try and cover both sideline as well, without multiple references to their facial expressions.)

It was pointed out in the game thread, but how can Brock Bolen come as a surprise to them?  I would feel safe to assume, that they were given the media guide and possibly other materials to review for the game.  Just check the depth chart, check last season's stats, and the injury report and one could easily foresee some touches for the big guy.  

Other readers have also expressed their  dislike of the tailgating and food (mentioned three separate times?).  We lay claim to being a large tailgating site, I know. But EVERYONE does it so why put it on TV.  Also, with the problems we have had this year in getting the plays in a timely manner, it is unexplainable how they miss the snap multiple times.

And the most frustrating part of the broadcast, was consistent and unabashed bias shown to the home team. As Mike pointed on the game prediction post, the 1994 meeting was a UofL victory, but their only hilight was a NCST interception?  And how many times did we hear "The 'Pack is Back!"  I counted three different occasions where Rod had fantastic coverage and was in position to make the play, but their only point of emphasis was the receiever.

As painful as our lack of precision on O at times was, these Turds of a television crew were more excruciating to take.  (This was worse than Mike Adamle-of American Gladiators fame-calling the USF debacle for ESPU in /05...and dare I say it, Mike, Dickie V and his broadcasts of innumerable off topic references.)  Most of us are in jobs that we don't truly enjoy to the fullest, yet these morons get paid to watch football and put out such a pathetic product.
