Just passing this along. No idea what it is.

Quote:NIU Huskies
For what it's worth... We received a tip that NIU fans might want to tune in to ESPN2 at 6 pm CT tonight as at least some Huskies are in line to receive some love from that network. Will it happen? Not sure but we'll be watching. Will you?

Thx

FU ESPN. Not watching. Sorry.

I'm sure the network will endure without your support

Looking at ESPN2 on Comcast it says Sportsnation 5-6 and NFL Live (reran from earlier and didnt hear any NIU reference) from 6-7. Could they mean 6 EST?

+1 billion.

I will NEVER watch ESPN except when an NIU game is on. Even then, I will hold my nose or turn the sound down and listen to Bill Baker.

However, the best thing they ever did for us was all the negative publicity. It made most of the rest of the country stand behind us and gave us publicity like we've never had before.

Where is this info coming from? And if it means that much to them, they should put it on ESPN. Let me get this straight...NIU weekend regular season game = ESPN3, weeknight game and propaganda = ESPN2. Wanna kiss our asses? Put it on the main network.

I was going to post the same thing. Sports Nation with Colin H is more likely place for this piece

Or ESPN at 6:00: Herbies - college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit hands out his awards for 2012 and previews the bowl matchups

Why would anyone who supports NIU ever promote a show designed to inflate Kurbstreet's ego to an even higher level? Herbie= d bag for life!

Maybe it is Herbstriet getting fired by Donald Trump live on tv!!!!

Maybe he's going to apologize? That would almost make it worse though, since it would be a back-handed apology. And if he's not doing that, none of us would have any reason to listen to that guy.

He said what he believed. No reason to apologize. That's how he feels...it hasn't changed between then and now. It doesn't need to either cause we are playing in the Orange Bowl regardless of his feelings towards us or our feelings towards him. An apology would be a waste of breath.

Yea I'm sure you're right. But it's the only reason I could think of if they expect NIU fans to tune in if it's going to be that ahole on the TV.

You guys need to stop acting like little girls.

Just sayin. :)

Seriously though...apparently any mention of ESPN makes everybody go into overly sensitive mode

Hardly. Just speculating what it would be about.

6:00 PM, what's the scoop?

Herbie is still a jerk
