***Story about Gameday in AU from one of the producers at ESPN***
The Cheez-it cam is absolutely hysterical!!! Auburn is a joke.
I work in the the film industry and I have a friend that is a producer for ESPN
and he said that Auburn is splitting production costs with ESPN for Gameday
today. This is a first in the history of Gameday. They were going to go to the
Texas-Texas Tech game but Auburn stepped in and made this offer. Auburn wanted
ESPN to stress what a great family atmosphere AU has and that out of all the
schools in the SEC that they visit Auburn is the nicest place. ESPN refused.
Last night when AU released that ridiculous statement that came directly from
the AU spin machine and attributed quotes to the guys on Gameday they didn't
say, ESPN went ballistic. ESPN has cut a few segments featuring AU today and
will spend a lot less time on AU than they normally would. The ESPN people are
so mad with statement that they will not return to Auburn this year or next. Way
to go barners...pickin' a fight with ESPN...Brilliant!!!
Did ya'll see how they led the show off with the quote from dabo that the reason
they came to AU was because there were slim pickins, ESPN is pi$$ed!! You'll see
so much less about AU today on Gameday than you normally would for the home
school!!
