I hardly ever tune into ESPN unless they are broadcasting a game I want to watch. Friday afternoon’s College Football Live, which was supposed to focus on Florida State, only enforced why avoiding ESPN whenever possible is a good policy.Here is some of what FSU fans who tuned into Friday’s broadcast had to endure:* According to ESPN college football expert Andre Ware FSU is “being investigated by the NCAA.” Unbeknownst to Mr. Ware, the NCAA’s investigation into FSU’s academic misconduct, which involved all sports programs, not just football, came to an end in 2008. All that is currently going on is an appeal by FSU in response to the sanctions imposed by the NCAA Infraction’s Committee. The “investigation” has been over for a long time.* Of the 3 minutes devoted to previewing FSU’s 2009 season, 1 minute was devoted to the NCAA and probation. Most of the rest of the time was spent discussing when Bobby Bowden might retire (no real news came out of the discussion or Bowden’s short interview).* For some strange reason, and it had nothing to do with the any specific segment, ESPN decided to show highlights of all four Wide Right games against Miami, as well as the 1987 loss when the ‘Noles’ unsuccessfully went for a 2-pointer at the end of the game, and UM’s 2001 blowout of FSU. No highlights of any FSU wins over Miami were shown.* Andre Ware picked FSU to go 7-5 but Miami, who went 7-5 last season and has to open the season at FSU, to go 8-4.* Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was mentioned 8 times and shown on 6 times. In contrast, FSU’s Christian Ponder was never mentioned during the show even though FSU was supposed to be the main team being previewed.* Florida or Gators were mentioned 9 times during the broadcast.
