National Exposure

[GP1]

I don't know how many picked up on all of the ESPN exposure, but the Zips received a ton on Saturday.First, my brother told me they interrupted the noon ESPN game to pick up the last few minutes of our game off of ESPNU.Second, Herbie loves any team from Ohio that does well, and he made Akron his "Impact Performer" for the weekend.Lastly, the talking head that does the show with Mark May and Lou Holtz gave a helmet sticker to Akron. The only problem was that they had to take a "liberty" with a generic gold helmet when putting the sticker on. My advice to ESPN would be, given the direction our program is heading, to call our media relations guy and try to get an Akron helmet. I think they will need to use it again in the future.

I saw it too. I thought it was great that they were talking about Akron.

Today (Monday) I talked with several people, fans and just area residents, that informed me they had caught the end of the game on ESPN or ESPN2. Seems to be alittle bit of confusion over which cable channel had the game on. One Buckeye fantold me it was originally on ESPN2 and cut off for a WNBA game. He told me he wasabout to call the cable company when a crawler appeared stating the game could beseen on ESPN.Thanks ESPN. I know they love the Zips.

I was trying to listen to it on the radio. They mentioned it had been moved to ESPN2, then shortly after that it went to ESPN for the final drive. The radio (1350AM) sucked. It was dead air for the entire 96yd drive, cut to news while the game was still in progress, and on several occasions they had commercials playing at the same time as other programming. I couldn't listen to the post-game since it was multiple feeds playing simultaneously.
