That’s It, We’re Not Reporting Anything Unless It’s On ESPN
First it was the Chron, then it was the Daily Cal, now it’s Scout.com. What do these things all have in common?
They have no idea what the hell they’re talking about.
From ESPN.com:
ESPN’s College GameDay opens its football season in Blacksburg, Va., when East Carolina visits Virginia Tech on Sept. 1.
So this is just basically confirmation straight from ESPN.com of what we already mentioned in our most recent post here, but to Scout.com I say - great job reporting, sirs. Not having been a journalism major, I’m not sure what the exact quote is, but I do believe it’s something about requiring two rock solid sources before a fact is supposedly confirmed and reportable. Obviously we didn’t follow this rule ourselves (surprise, none of us were journalism majors), but yeah. And though ESPN.com is only one source here, it stands to reason that they would know. It’s their show after all.
We’ve already written about whether or not College GameDay would make it to Berkeley anytime soon - I maintain that if USC and Cal play like they’re capable of (which includes our Bears beating the Volunteers on September 1), the USC/Cal tilt on November 10 should be graced with Lee Corso and his collection of oversized mascot heads. Is there any other kind? But it’s not that Virginia Tech/East Carolina isn’t deserving of College GameDay on September 1. It’s just that it isn’t deserving for any reason that will be on the field.
