Woody wore his Tennessee gear, Skip wore his Vandebilt gear....and Crawford sat there decked out in his Ohio State gear. Made me want to puke.
What??? I did not know that happened.
Screw that guy....I don't care if he's a BG grad.
It happened 'Freak, he was all decked out in OSU gear, sitting there with a big smile talking about his Buckeyes. I did a double-take when I first saw it on TV. And we wonder why schools like BG and others from the MAC get overlooked by networks such as ESPN when one of our own has a chance to show our colors and he wears that crap!? What a joke. At least when Jason Jackson was an ESPN anchor or hosted NBA Tonight or whatever that show was called, he always gave a shout-out to Antonio Daniels in a clever way. He wasn't as obvious about it like say Stuart Scott is with UNC (Scott's a Tar Heel in case you couldn't figure that one out), but during a Daniels clip he'd say something like "Daniels rocks the rim like he did back in Anderson Arena." I always liked that he always gave BG props when he had the chance, unlike Crawford.
And to add to the point above about Skip cutting on Crawford about Memphis playing those "Akrons, Toledos or Temples," Crawford did roll his eyes and sheepishly answered back that it was Toledo. Wrong Jay, Toledo beat UTEP, Memphis played Akron. Maybe if he wasn't covered head to toe in OSU gear, he might have gotten that answer correct since it was pointed at him being it was about MAC school. As for Skip's comment, Crawford should have said at least these MAC schools are playing in a bowl game unlike Vanderbilt, or better yet, if it wasn't for a non-BCS loss at home to MTSU this year, Vandy would have been bowl bound themselves. Come on Jay.....
I'm speechless (and that RARELY happens LOL)....that SOB.

Only problem is that this happened awhile ago, from what I've read here, and it might seem too petty right now. But if anyone knows how to email him at ESPN, it still might be worth it.
Good idea, only I can see how an email or letter about this topic would likely backfire on us and they'd end up discussing it on the show and those clowns would be laughing at it or making fun of us. That would not be the kind of exposure we'd like to get. Though the thought has crossed my mind to write, but I won't.
Count me among the dumbfounded. I met Jay at the Capital Campaign kickoff gala and I was impressed with his passion for BGSU. Apparently that was all BS. What a joke of a person.

Someone should just send him a BGSU shirt and a note that says "Remember this?"
Oh, and also add in that the BG hockey team just swept his suckeyes!!
A)Cold Pizza is a pile of poop to start with
b) Anybody that thought that Crawford was genuine when he was in the union had their head stuff in their frosty cup
C) Anybody who thought BG would get a nod over the empire that is queerbag state is dreaming
D) I cant help but think that ESPN would have had something to do with that decision....PR my friends....PR
