They assumed it was going to come out with a slant, and don't provide them with anything else that they could grab out of context.<br /><br />I would have tried to respond to that through other media sources (i.e. World-Herald) on Sunday...perhaps even pre-emptively on Saturday.Husker Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764508184267042143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-11337531775089847352011-05-10T11:27:31.711-05:002011-05-10T11:27:31.711-05:00They tried to get the UNO admin. to comment, but t...They tried to get the UNO admin. to comment, but they refused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-6889029696380607472011-05-09T15:57:24.795-05:002011-05-09T15:57:24.795-05:00ESPN failed to show an unbiased point of view on t...ESPN failed to show an unbiased point of view on the issue. They talked to four people -- two former football players, a wrestler, and the wrestling coach.<br /><br />Pretty easy to rout someone with that hand on the table.<br /><br />And apparently Deeb has turned a deaf ear to everything that has gone on in the advisory committee he claims to have been a part of for 18 years. How did he not know UNO looked at D-1 several years ago; and how did he not know that UNO has had a committee looking at this move for the past 2 years?<br /><br />And Sokol's gift wasn't much of a gift. He gave the money for the video boards, draped his (his son's) name all over it... but didn't give any money to improve the infrustructure -- no camera, no technology... just these giant monitors.<br /><br />People just want to be pissed at someone, and they want to inflate their egos.<br /><br />Is it me, or is ESPN turning into FoxNews Lite?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485539203754724582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-90386786331274451512011-05-09T07:58:40.118-05:002011-05-09T07:58:40.118-05:00What's funny is the venom spewed in the articl...What's funny is the venom spewed in the article. It was almost personal, as if they were more concerned with trying to take Trev Alberts down a peg instead of taking up the plight of the UNO Wrestling/Football teams.<br /><br />Sad and pathetic on the part of ESPN. Something truly needs to be done about their apparent stranglehold on sports 'reporting', as it fails to muster any sort of integrity any more.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052592954821236noreply@blogger.com
