I just sent this message to ESPN through their contact us link
quote:

LSU fans are well aware of Jordan Jefferson's poor play and bottom dwelling passing stats. While many of us would like to see him benched, your second Sports Nation poll in as many days (you hid the first one because he won)as to who the best college qb is should not have included him for any statistical reasons or scouted potential. LSU fans have invaded your poll protesting your making fodder of one of our own. Including Jefferson on this ballot is like putting the name of a disabled person up for homecoming queen when there is no motivating niceness to let her have a moment in the sun. It is a nasty joke. It is poor taste. It is the arrogance we have come to expect from ESPN. It is why we hope any competition could draw some quality contracts to broadcast games away from you. Your ombudsman should apologize for both Jefferson's inclusion in both polls and your restarting the poll when you got embarrassing results. If you insist on redoing this poll, do it with reasonable qb choices


You can contact the ombudsman here

You can send in a general complaint here

At any rate, I'm glad to see we're successfully wrecking another poll, but they need to be clear that we're not taking this as a funny protest vote against JJ but as a personal attack on a college player by their supposedly unbiased media outfit.
You only have to vote for 5 qbs for the vote to register, and incidentally, there are 5 SEC qbs on the list.

Take the link to Facebook people. We can make this happen.

Neither the Cubs nor the White Sox nor the Bulls play games without an opposing team. Does anyone who has extra innings know if they show the other team's feeds when the game is on WGN?
So we're stuck with Peja playing a limited role in a contract year, hopefully staying healthy with fewer minutes. This may be the best production we get from him per minute since 07-08.
Man U, Man City, and Liverpool are all up there.
Drogba and Chelsea, with some Everton sympathies.

Either Diego Maradona or Hyundai screwed that up. I think it's a sweet story of devotion.

I mean I'm glad to get CST, and I bought MLB.tv instead of extra innings, so I get the Cubs and White Sox but lose the Rangers because the blackout rules say we are in both the Astros and Rangers market even though we get the small number of Rangers games that are on in Baton Rouge. But my high speed internet from Cox barely performs, and I've had too many problems with the mlb.tv stream.

there's nothing worth watching this year on WGN...except maybe Scrubs

Well there's Star Trek: TNG, Newhart, WWE Superstars, and the emergence of Colvin and Castro. And I'm willing to sit through the Cubs losing one run games to see their at bats for another month.

No WGN in Lafayette

I've been living in Lafayette since February and I don't get how Cox can find room for so many crappy channels in its lineup but doesn't carry WGN. None of the Cubs, White Sox, or Bulls games shown on WGN come in the extra innings or league pass packages because those games are considered nationally televised. Outside of sports, WGN is a staple of cable television. Why can't Cox at least offer the station in its Variety pack so people in Lafayette have a chance to view all the games that most Americans can access?
Wouldn't you think the confidence that comes with job security might make Jefferson a little less gun shy? I hope both Lees get serious playing time in blowouts, but JJ is objectively better than JLee, and you can't pin the weight of the program on a true freshman. For better or worse, JJ is our best man this season.
September 4, 2004 LSU 22, Oregon State 21 in overtime. I sat through the storm that delayed the game and did not care a bit. And that night I was certain JaMarcus Russell was going to be a Pro Bowl qb and Nick Saban was building a dynasty at LSU. So it goes.
