I haven't seen them mention the VT/UVA game yet though did I miss it?

Waiting for the same thing. They have talked about all the pre-game hype of games wondering if they'll at least show the pre-game before last night.

It was a story about pre game mentality and the off the field part of the game. No one was really mentioned in it outside of Mich and Miami due to there long running traditions

They barely mentioned the VT/UVa game DURING the VT/UVa game.

I swear, if I got one more alert about the Iron Bowl.....

I was really confused. Given the commentary, I thought I was watching the Iron Bowl.

It really pissed me off to see them completely ignore the Enter Sandman entrance so they could spend 5 minutes going game by game of the SEC slate the second our broadcast started.

ESPN was sickening last weekend. They didn't even bother to cover up the bias and our traditions took a backseat to it.

I'm pretty sure they were going over the INJURY REPORT for the Iron Bowl. Not even the match-up, the injuries. That really ground my gears.

To be fair, that's because those teams are good and we are 6-6.

Rip his freaking head off!

But still there is a storyline with beating your rival, when both need the win to go to a bowl, to keep your 21 yr consecutive bowl streak alive.

As my Rutgers grad friend said last night at the bar. We were basically playing the sacko bowl. Fittingly UVa has claimed that trophy.

Yeah, the nation would love to hear about two 5-6 teams, each with their coach on the hot seat, desperately trying to claw their way into some inconsequential bowl game.

I didn't expect a story about it but to not even mention the 11 year streak or the bowl streak?

I saw the segment later on Sportscenter and thought it was odd.

As in, if you're going to use Enter Sandman, then show our entire entrance!!!!!!!
