The show starts off saying how important it is for conference perception that UL goes 12-0 or 11-1. Exactly how is it good for the conference that one of the teams that is leaving destroys the rest of the conference? How does that help next year's perception of the conference?

The rest of the show is basically an infomercial for UL. I know they are the best team in the conference and they have a great player, but when you do a conference preview it would be nice if you talked a little bit more about the other teams. I was hoping to learn a bit about the new conference mates. Nope.

I think I may have heard UConn's name once or twice on the show. That's it.

You are better off watching Fishy's favorite "Good Luck Charlie".

Don't read the conference preview on Sports on Earth if you don't like negative UConn comments.

Not sure if you were referring to my post...but...I wasn't talking about negative UConn comments. I was talking about the fact that a conference preview show was basically a UL preview show.

I hear ya shakey...espn has definitely been pumping ville I think it's to gear towards ACC viewership... They must have a big fan base .. Though I think they're perception of being an athletic Mecca is over hyped. Don't forget that just a few years ago ville was a bottom feeder under kragthrope with a crowd base that resembled a temple home game. Its amazing what a good coach can do for a program ... Thank you coach Calhoun.. Uconn needs to win....Simple as that. Come season end we can blame pasqualoni, warde, deleone, Desmond Conner, Herbts or players and bicker about ESPN neing out to get Uconn ... Or Uconn can win ...

Why even play the games, let's just give Louisville the BCS bid and have Alabama - Ohio State play the BCS championship game????

This is the station that has given Penn State a free 60 minute commercial.

Last year they fell in love with West Virginia. They were coronated because they were the elite BE team chosen to be in the B12. This year the chosen team is Louisville. Convenient for those with short memories but if you repeat it enough I guess it's true. That game is #1 on the "I hope we score 50" list.

Stuff like that makes me glad we r not coronated by espn. Really building up a program that covered up something despicable. And to do it so soon. No respect for the families effected.

Nah just throwing out another AAC preview to avoid.

Wasted 30 minutes of my life watching it last night. UConn was not the only team left out so I guess we shouldn't take it personally. But man, it sucked - should have been called "2013 Louisville College Football Preview".

Hell with that. I'm far more interested in Louisville playing in the Title Game. :)

What would be best for the conference perception would be for Louisville to go 0-12 (or at least 0-7 or 0-8 in conference), for Bridgewater to lead the nation in picks, for UConn to beat the Cards 47-0 and for the Rick Pitino led hoopsters to go 0-30.

It is good for conference perception though.

The ACC's perception that is.

You know, the one run by ESPiN.
