I mean, I don't expect Purdue do to poo poo, but it is a conference game so ya never know. But hey snow games are awesome.

But seriously, why are the two biggest games with playoff implications for the Big XII on at the same loving time? What a dumb conference.

One's on ABC and the other in on Fox. So it might not have been their choice. But either way all of Saturday night is going to be all Big XII all the time. The ESPN game for that slot is Miss State @ Arkansas. And Arkansas, which will almost surely finish in the top half of the vaunted 9th NFL division SEC West, lost to a team that'll finish the season with a losing conference record in the Big XII. For one night at least ESPN and the committee won't be able to ignore the conference.

Joel Klatt has been on fire this week ripping on the committee. Apologies for linking to Cowherd but that's the only interview I could find a youtube video of.

Everyone knows that the whole old-man football thing that the committee is favoring is nearly 100% due to Jeff Long still being butthurt by Tech beating Arkansas.

He had already announced he was leaving for FS1 before ESPN took him off the air for his most recent instance of being a racist doofus, but gently caress if I know. He has recently resorted to trolling Iowa of all teams to get attention, and it is working as long as his target audience is my facebook feed.

e: the simulcast of his radio show is routinely pulling 0.0 in the ratings, which is hilarious given how hard they pushed it, but I think the radio show part is still doing pretty well, much to the shame of our nation.

The short answer is yes but you'd have to be more specific if you want detail. He says a lot of racist things.

The one that finally got him in trouble (when he was already almost out the door and ESPN could suspend him to make themselves look good without really losing anything) was when he essentially said that all Dominicans are stupid.

The one that finally got him in trouble (when he was already almost out the door and ESPN could suspend him to make themselves look good without really losing anything) was when he essentially said that all Dominicans are stupid.

His actual statement:

quote:

'Baseball's just too complex.' Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has not been known in my lifetime as having world-class academic abilities. A lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have.

Hardly the words of a racist and bigot. They were followed up with:

quote:

"I understand that when you mention a specific country, they get offended," Cowherd said. "I get it. I do. And for that, I feel bad. I do. But I have four reports in front of me ... where there are discussions of major deficiencies in the education sector at all levels. ... It wasn't a shot at them. It was data. Five, seven years ago I talked about the same subject. Was I clunky? Perhaps. Did people not like my tone? I get it. Sometimes my tone stinks.

If you find him annoying (certainly a fair opinion), just say so and move on.

He also does not get the benefit of the doubt because he says at least quasi-racist poo poo constantly, most notably every time he talks about John wall.

People have been "getting in a tizzy" (because I guess that is how we're gonna describe pointing out that racist things are racist, for some reason) about him for a long time, that happens to have been the one that finally got him in actual trouble, and mostly because the timing was convenient for ESPN.

the baseball poo poo doesn't even make the top-1000 list of stupid poo poo said by Cowherd so its just funny that people are jumping on this one when as you said its painfully obvious why ESPN fired him. that the sports world is full of and surrounded by terrible people who will tolerate anything as long as it brings in money or wins isn't a surprise.
