Theyre not even trying to hide their agenda at this point

The best was after the game, they immediately went to talking about USCe/A&M. I was watching to see when they would talk about us beating Vandy. When they finally got to the game, I'm not sure they said the word 'Temple' once. I get that it's the conference's network, but if you had no idea they just played a game and got rocked, you'd think they were talking about Vandy having a poor spring game.

The ESPN whining is insufferable. This may come as a shock, but not many people are interested in a Temple vs Vandy game. ESPN has one agenda $.

National perspective is that Vandy sucks. How often do they go to a bowl game? {Answer: 4 garbage bowls in the last 4 years} It's one basketball school beating another basketball school in football. Vandy wasn't a ranked team! Majority of Bowl Projections left Vandy off there list.

Vandy sucks isn't news or a headline.

I'm not asking for some in-depth write up. But the score isn't even mentioned. Its as if the game was never even played. Its not like we had a full docket of games yesterday.

vandy was a 8 win sec, temple was a 2 win aac...it has nothing to do with interest, this is a story that can atleast get some imbetween time betwen the A&M story

it has not even got one headline...they gave the game a sorta headline but it was about vandys jersey situation but said absolutely nothing about the game

their is an aganda here , you are blind if you dont think so...its the nfl preseason and almost no major games have been played yet beside 2, vandy getting routed in the first non-con on the sec network while on the first game of their coach who was one of the most touted DC in Stanford a year ago.. might not be the biggest story but atleast deserves some kind of headline ..cbssports who had no stake in the game gave the game a headline of a temple rout

id bet a $100 bucks if vandy had won ..their would have been a headline that said.."mason shines in first game as vandy coach" or something like that

but i dont think the agenda is purely anti-aac tho...i think the agenda might be pro-sec and not making the SEC look bad at the launch of their billion dollar network..they played like 8 commercials of the sec dominance and being the best during the games yesterday..the vandy headline would be counter productive

The game is a resume builder. But it's not an immediate attention getter. Continue to win and Temple will get noticed. Last time I checked, they're currently undefeated this season.

When you have USA Today writers tweeting we might be the most improved team in the country, I'd say we're getting peoples' attention.

Are you really upset about Temple story or is it the Kevin Sumlin spotlight?
