ESPNU not overly concerned with accurately previewing Louisville

I do think we will win the big east this year and at least go to a bcs bowl.I know it is a stretch but we were competitive last year in every game except maybe Pitt.We had a chance to win all of those games.ESPN cant help theirselves and i say whatever.They have too much influence in college sports.If freaking Connecticut was able to get to the BCS bowl i say we have a chance.I also say they will be forced to discuss Will Stein by years end.Not saying Teddy will not significantly contribute.

They suck, there is a reason the broadcast is bad and everyone was forced to add the channel

So many of these guys do no homework. At the rate they mail it in it makes no sense the postal service is losing money.

and it was horrible. they said we play miami (figure they mean North Carolina). Brief mention of Bellamy, Victor Anderson, and Chi (who they said just moved to TE this year). And other than Murray St. they said our schedule is too difficult and pretty much placed us last in the BE. and called Rutgers one of their surprise teams (or teams to watch out for).

The Cards are going to exceed expectations, no doubt. The writing will be on the wall with the upset of UK.

SportsCenter is 80% endless talk about pop- sports topics (ooohhh Brett favre might be back!!) and 10% highlights. Then you turn on ESPNews and the Highlight Express and think you’re going to get the old school sportscenter, bur instead you get the same crap from
the current sportscenter except from jobber announcers in a cheap set. And the anchors all seem to be developing a condescending attitude even towards the players and coaches they’re talking about. On Baseball Tonight, Karl Ravech is mailing it in and Steve Berthiaume seems to feel entitled to criticize everything he sees. Yesterday he disapproved of how the Brewers were acting after the game and was trying to shove his opinion into Doug Glanville’s mouth. Hey Steve, Doug actually played in MLB, leave his opinions about baseball alone; we’d rather hear his than yours.

And don’t get me started on the borning, snobby talk shows – Mike&Mike, Colin Cowherd, 1st and 10, SportsNation, Around the Horn…all are boring conversations from arrogant-sounding honks. And I love Jim Rome’s radio show but his TV show is borning, except for the correspondent pieces. Pardon The Interruption is the only talk show I don’t run away from, except when that blowhard Dan Lebetard is filling in. He should stick to the obnoxiousness competition on Around The Horn.

The only thing ESPN is good for are live events and PTI. The full game replays on ESPNU have been awesome in easing the pain of the dead period. Same thing with the Big Ten Network, especially when they replay older games that I don’t know the outcome of. I crack open a cold one and enjoy the game

EA Sports 2012 Orange Bowl Simulation – EA Sports simulates the 2012 Orange Bowl between Florida State and Louisville

Can’t say I’m too upset to see EA predicting us in the Orange Bowl against a highly considered FSU squad, and at least moderately competing. Much better than all the other 4-8, 5-7 predictions. Maybe a little optimistic, but I’m not sure I see it all that far-fetched. Can’t wait for the season to start though.

(And sorry if this is old news, I just happened to come across it today on ESPN’s Bowl Bound app)

in the Big East Previews and then turn around and say EA has us in the Orange Bowl.Shows how biased The ESPNU piece was.

So you’re telling me EA and ESPN don’t use highly complex algorithms and analysis to make these predictions? Blasphemy.

No, I agree. It was just nice to see something from a ‘media outlet’ predict/post something other than, ‘UofL is going to suck’, and frankly just kind of caught me by surprise.
