ziprowdy Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 ok so how gay is it that akron finally got coverage on the mac tournament when this crap happened...throughout the whole tournament nothing...just our names scrolling across the screen...shame on you espn, shame on you...you show vermont, albany, cal polly, i mean what other crappy teams...and youre gonna leave us out, not cool...out of all our good moments of the season and you guys pick this one...you just figuratively took a dump on our chests and cleveland steamered us...as for the game...i saw one good review of the events on channel 61...they had a stop watch type clock that counted how long it took them to start the clock...their clock said it took them 1.5 seconds to start it after it shouldve started...ok so 1.5...then the game clock which was on the bottom right hand corner of the screen read 1.7(ish) when loser threw up the circus shot...HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...they nicely pointed out that the clock above the basket read 1.4 seconds...ok so 1.7 minus 1.5 = .2...but 1.4 minus 1.5 = yes a negative number...one logical solution to the equasion...AKRON WINS!!!!!...granted cedric missed the free throw...we cant do anything about that...what happened with the clocks, happened...something has to be done about what happened (but was done poorly)...something cant be done about a missed free throw...my only problem is, everyone is saying..."oh its human error oh well"...NO!!!!!...saying it was human error, is admitting theyre wrong but they wont do anything about it...a person running the game clock has to be on the ball...they cant be..."oh sorry i was checkin out the chick in row 6, sorry i forgot to start the clock"...a clock person has to be on the ball...they have to know when to start and stop the clock as well...this is unacceptable...the committee, god bless em...i know theyve been in their room for 20+ hours...but they better be reviewing the crap outta this...they better be slowin it down a crap ton...everyone of them better have a stopwatch, and extra clocks to review it...they better be talkin to ncaa personell, they better talk to the league officail...they better be talkin to the mac league official, and they better get on the phone or personally talk to the refs about how they came to their conclusion...talk to other officials and see what they wouldve done...once they come to the conclusion that THEY WERE WRONG...which they are...fix the situation, find a solution...if this has never happened before now, then now is the time to assess the situation and fix it...it may have never happened before, but it just DID happen...screw you espn for this showing this crap, and not even showing our win against cant...something must be done about this...its as simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgm405 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 As much as I hated seeing this highlight 238949839654 times on ESPN tonight, would you really not show it if you were them? Controversy, a comeback, a last second back three to win the league title...and they aren't going to show it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I deal with the press all of the time in my professional life.They go after whatever they think is newsworthy. And this was newsworthy. There's nothing you can really do to control what they decide to cover, and what they don't.I know...it sucks.

Indians06 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 worst media coverage every news outlet in Youngstown. They'd rather report on YSU basketball recruits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
