AT HALFTIME... (UPDATED)
Random thoughts at halftime of the UConn-West Virginia game...
I've never been a UConn flag waver, but win or lose at West Virginia, Randy Edsall's program has come of age on the national stage.
Speaking of Edsall, did UConn find him in a catalog?
This has nothing to do with his ability. I mean, the man just looks like he was born to be a football coach. Or a model.

I hate the Hyundai "Duh" commercials. Seriously.
Who ARE the guys announcing this game?
And finally, I am NOT watching ESPN on ABC. I'm watching ABC on ABC.
-----------
Several hours later... WVU 66, UConn 21.
Randy Edsall pretty much summed it up best: ''We just ran into an outstanding football team and one that I hope goes and wins a national championship.''
Me too. And UConn had one helluva season.
I'm now watching Bravo on NBC. (Just kidding.)

I never understood that branding decision. I get they'd like to use ESPN's name, but it's ABC... just call it ABC Sports!
ABC Sports was once the gold standard in the broadcast industry.
I guess this is what's called synergy.
Using your logic, when watching NBC programming on WVIT, I'm not really watching WVIT, I'm watching NBC. Since ABC owns ESPN all sports programming falls under the
ESPN brand so when you are watching sports programming on
ABC you are watching ESPN on ABC.
Uh, what logic?
