I certainly agree with NewAZTiger’s analogy, except I quibble with his timeline somewhat. ESPN is currently closer to year three or four of that MTV era…

Real World started around ‘92-’93, and while it was a harbinger of the demise of the music video on MTV, the channel was still watchable both from a music (during the height of the alternative music era, they ran a nightly version of 120 Minutes, if memory serves) and a non-music standpoint (The State, Liquid MTV, etc.)

[/Guy who went to college in the early 90s and spent way too much time parked on the sofa]

It wasn’t until three or four years later that MTV death-spiraled into a music-free schlock-fest of Real World knock-offs (hello, “Road Rules”) and lame celebrity toe-sucking. ESPN has definitely reached this point. I can barely stomach five minutes of non-game programming these days…

#45: I think so, and if they did adopt that name, why stop at 12 when you can absorb the MAC and make 25? That’ll show those obnoxious rednecks from the SEC.

“This era of ESPN is a repeat of the MTV era when “The Real World” Started.

Bye Bye primary mission. Hello garbled craptaculothon. (Please add that to your dictionaries.)”

I can’t believe NewAZTiger and I agree about anything, but he’s absolutely right here.

Oh, and ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS to Pappy.

#45, that’s only allowed if Gregory Peck replaces Delany as conference commissioner.

Dave, wasn’t there talk recently of them going ahead and renaming the whole thing “The Big Conference” without even adding a #12?

Brian – just don’t eat Cheetos while watching porn all day. You’ll just have to trust me on that one.

B,
Good stuff.
Just be careful with the borrowed interwebs.
My bro-in-law in NYC had his entire hard drive hacked and wiped because the dude he was “sharing” from found out and was none too pleased.

Oh I guess it would be prudent to mention that the Apt building I live in has a theater room which has a HD projector hooked up to it, so in about 39 days I will be setting up my cot and mini-fridge and not leaving ’til they threaten to void my lease.

Also, this morning, on Mike and Mike without Mike and Mike but with Rece and Herb and Lee, about the only thing Corso said was that M Vick and others should surround themselves with character, not characters.

Then he repeated it two more times.

He is still a penis, a dick with ears.

Internet dude, Internet…browsing around and downloading TV shows & movies by the boatload. Its actually quite awesome not to have TV per-se. Its basically like longhand TiVo. And what’s more, the internet connection I use is “borrowed” shall we say. I’m just living the dream, you might say.

Oh, and: there’s always room for Bunda and Corso in the same thread, as long as it’s not Corso’s Bunda.

Easiest way to fix the Big 10. Drop Indiana. Thank you, I’ll have my Nobel prize drop shipped to my winter home in Florida.
