Not sure if anyone saw this BS tweet from ESPN over the weekend....

U serious Clark?

 

[WindsorHawk]

He’s talking runner up.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Wow... So ESPN was insinuating Garza is no better then 5th in the country? STFU... Wonder what individual boy genius that works for them came up with that. Must have been a Minnesota grad...

 

[Hawkfnntn]

He’s talking runner up.

Now that would be the only explanation I'd buy. Beyond that haha

When will we just flat out recognize that ESPN has become a bad joke.

 

[PCHawk]

Yea it must be under the assumption that Garza will win, which guy has the best shot at the upset.

I assumed someone would have had to have posted something considering how assinine the poll was...but was too lazy to look!

The good thing is the vast majority of responses are ripping into them for it.

It's like all 897 responses.....pretty hilarious.

Last I looked there were probably 100 responses and almost every single one of them said Garza.

Garbage network, SSDD

 

[HawksMN]

Hell none of those guys even measure up to Oturu let alone Garza.

 

[morley10]

Because if they listed Garza then none of them would get any votes.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Yea, makes sense, considering he's a mid-season 1st-Team AA and there's usually (5) - 5's on the final AA Team

That said ... this seems to be the year of the Big and there are a lot of really, really good one's out there.

I F-ING LOVE IT!! Screw those weasly little gnats (Wish we had one, tho.)

I wouldn't say garbage network just yet. But, there is a reason why they laid off all of those employees a few years back. ESPN is not the greatest sports network anymore, FOX Sports is catching up to them.

ever check some of the salaries they pay? It would take a few layoffs, and of course, subscriptions to ESPN+, to pay those hefty bills. You would think they would do a better job of research before they send out their polls, but having said that, how many examples can we point to demonstrating pro ACC, or SEC, etc that infers a bias in their programming? Not being a total Homer here, but damn, Garza is having a helluva season no matter who you support. Some of the twitter responses were not from Iowa fans and they acknowledged same............

Known that for yeeeaaaars

Jump the shark for me was the self-congratulatory titling of the espys

 

[Healzya]

It's just a ploy to get clicks, as 90% of media is these days. They knew exactly what they were doing and it worked to perfection.

The other 10% is Rob Howe doing gods work.

 

[DDThompson]

Blue blood and coast bias.

If Garza is at any of those four, he’d be getting the love and win it hands down.
