    Was it my imagination or did it sound like the announcers couldn't say enough about EVERYTHING Washington? Coach Steve Sarkasian, in the words of the announcers, sounded like the second coming, as the savior of Washington football.
    If this is the best ESPN can send to a big game like LSU/Washington, perhaps they need to look further into their talent pool.:geauxtige

    It wasn't that bad.

    It was more annoying that they didn't do their homework on our players' names.

    Patrick Peterson is the best cover corner in the nation. Show him some goddamn respect you idiot (Davie, that is). I couldn't get the fact that he didn't know his name but yet felt he was a top 5 NFL draft prospect. That was baffling.

    Don't worry, they didn't get the Husky players names right either.

    They talked about Cody Burns, where his last name is Bruns...

    I hope they clean up their broadcast before the BCS games, it was like the entire ESPN crews were just as untested and unproven as the teams on the field (which is worse since the same team did Boise State-Oregon on Thursday, so they had some experience)

    :hihi:

    What would they have done with some GOOD Louisiana names, like Shexnaider, Robideaux, Guillot? Or Sosthene Menard?

    The ESPN guy even said it right one time and accentuated the "Peterson" part to give a more than subtle hint to Davy. And Davy continued to get it wrong.

    yeah, the wrong names is annoying, but at least they make up for by playing that awesome Kenny Chesney song every now and then.

    He should change his name to Patterson Peterson . . . it's kind of catchy.

    You have it reversed. It was Mark Jones who kept calling him Patterson, and Davie who had the emphatic "Peterson" a few minutes later. Jones corrected himself midway through the game and started saying it right but somehow slipped back into Patterson mode by the end of the game.

    Don't forget our linebacker Jacob Cutera. And their crush on the bald coach that was running around like he just hit a line of cocaine.
