A special College Gameday is airing on ESPN tonight at 9pm. The description says "an early look at the upcoming college football season."
Interesting to see if the MAC is even mentioned....... 03-banghead
I didn't catch your post until this morning (Sunday). DID they mention the MAC?
Didn't catch it. Can someone tell us what was said about the MAC? :)
They didn't say ****** about the MAC. Although they did show Gradkowski running down the field with his hands up in the air. That was at the beginning when they were showing a ton of clips from last season.


Towards the end of the show they gave out their surprise team in every "major" conference. The Big East was not included. 03-lol In fact, they even said once that the Big East got to keep their automatic bid to the BCS even though many people disagreed. They also mentioned that West Virginia is the only ranked team in a watered down Big East.

Outside of Corso saying that Memphis would upset Ole Miss in their season opener, they didn't say a word about any "mid-major" program......C-USA, MWC, MAC, WAC, Sun Belt......not a one. You would think these guys would learn by now.

Yes....Corso did mention another non-BCS Team...Utah.

He has been on Utah and Memphis kick for weeks now. Has been on radio in Orlando (he lives here) and those were the top 2 non-BCS Teams he mentioned weeks ago on air.

But yeah, once ESPN decides they don't like you (Big East), they let their feelings OUT!! (Or if ESPN LIKES you...aka Heisman pick/choice in Sept, they have HUGE influence.)

Wonder if the Big East/UCONN (in their backyard), etc...will put pressure to "back-off" Big East bashing this year.

It should be a FUN season to watch...that's for sure!!

Utah is their choice of midmajor with the best chance at crashing the BCS party this year. We'll see if its a bad choice...after all..they loved TCU for a long time last year.

They open the season at home against Texas A&M. TAMU should be improved from last season so this is going to be a very tough game for Utah, even though it is at home. However, a win in this game will give them a lot of confidence and give Corso even more ammo.

Then the following week they play at Arizona. They are probably better than Arizona, but being on the road it could be tough. There are OOC games are at Utah State and a home game against North Carolina. Man, home games against Texas A&M and North Carolina in the same year!!! Not bad for a non-bcs school.
Guys, I will try to see what I can do. I have met the Associate Producer for Sports Center(I work with his wife). I won't push the issue to get more MAC stuff but will try to persuade him to get some extra MAC clips on.
Nothing??????????? After the year the MAC had in 2003 and so many solid teams ALREADY GETTING VOTES IN THE PRESEASON USA TODAY-ESPN POLL....nothing???

Glad I didn't watch it now.....fellas, looks like we have to earn our respect all over again. :rolleyes: 03-banghead

GO FALCONS!! GO MAC!!
Wow, I'm so glad I tuned in.

Afterall, I just love segments telling me why I should care about Miss State. :rolleyes:

The only good part was th giant UCF banner in the background.

I'm so sick of this BCS bull**** that I could scream.
I also noticed the big UCF banner and was hoping Corso/Herby would have at least mentioned the MAC or spen t a minute or 2 on the MAC.

The MAC needs to generate more publisity on its own...via radio and tv shows. The MAC has its best year in the history of college football and not one mention of the Conference.

The MAC needs to have a weekly football show either on ESPN or FoX Sports...

Mike...Go Herd!!!
Corso's mention of "Miami of Ohio" in the lead segment missed all of you?

Looks like I watched the best five minutes of the show.

Where are these other conference-specific shows on ESPN? I've never seen one.

What did he say? I didn't hear it.
The MAC did have a fairly good preview show on Fox Sports before last season, I don't think a half hour highlight/ preview show would be that hard to produce or get on the air.
