Wow even in June, Mark May is still a douche

[Triple-S]

How does this guy still have a job as an analyst on ESPN? Just had ESPN on and they just had him on give his thoughts on FSU having to vacate wins and he just came off as an arrogant condensing d***bag. Does anyone really care what a washed up ex-redskin player has to say on College Football when all he does is exalt the virtues of how great the SEC and USC is? Is this the best ESPN could do is get this guy to talk CFB?

Why not get someone who is..I dont know, actually likable? Like say, Chris Spielmen or Dick Vermiel? Those are two great analysts who are smart and actually seem to love the sport of College Football and don't need to resort to bashing a Conference to make a point or exalt Tim Tebow as the 2nd coming of Jesus? Get someone who shows no real over-douchey favoritism like the way that May does. I don't care if someone like Holtz has a favoritism because he more than makes up for it by not being a douche.

Also for the record even as a Big Ten Honk I have to admit that I think Herbstrait has even been infected with the same disease that May has. Hearing him discuss College Football as of late has been just as painful.

ESPN needs to go back to it's basics. Stop with the branding of ESPN for the ABC Telecasts, bring back the ABC logo and theme back, and fire Mark May. Lord knows that they ruined a truly great thing:

I've learned through intense training and practicing to just ignore everything that he says. He is jammed so far up the SEC's ass it's not even funny. What school did he go to again? Oh yeah, Pitt. Who is better Pitt or tOSU? Oh yeah.

 

[WoosterCavsFan]

They should fire Brent Musberger too, I hate that sonofabitch.

I am not going to defend Mark May, but I will give an outside point of view. The big-10 has been pretty awful the past few years, would you agree? Their teams have gotten spanked in the bowl games. I am sure once the big-10 rises to prominence once again, then Mark May will be all up in the big-10's nuts.

True. Big 10, Acc and Pac 10 all are very weak right now.

Big 10 has Ohio State and Penn State doing well right now.

Acc has nobody

Pac 10 has USC

Big 12 and SEC are by far better. I think it has alot to do with how they play more then they have better players.

Fixed.

Big 12 was the most overrated conference all fucking year! Did you see what they did in bowl games? Pac-10 had the best record in bowl games followed by the SEC. The pac-10 was horrid starting the year but flourished once all the injured teams got in the flow of things.

The SEC pretty much has only two really, really good teams at the moment-

You got Florida and LSU and maybe on occasion 'Bama or UGA mixing it up, but both are usually upset in the BCS.

It's an absolute myth that they are flat out a dominant conference over the Big Ten and have faster players.

Want proof take a look at any given 2nd-tier bowl games with teams like Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State playing in Florida on New Years Day. It normally goes the Big Ten's way.

The recent slobbering all over Tebow and Urban Meyer is just flat out annoying and speaks more like propaganda than actual journalism on the part of ESPN. It really seems similiar to how the media was reporting on Obama on during the election last year (Disclaimer poster is a Libertarian).

It's a complete joke to see how they made it into a witch hunt over how Tebow wasn't voted Unanimous all-preseason at the SEC media event, and pretty much showing their SEC homer ism on their sleeves. You're ripped to shreds and villanized like a liberal on the O'Reilly factor (there I think that balances it a bit) if you don't anoint Tim Tebow the immaculate savior of college sports.

This is why I enjoy the Big Ten Network so much more than the way ESPN covers College Football. Not only do they cover Ohio State and Michigan, but they make sure to cover N'Western, Purdue, Indiana and give them air time as well. Even with the network half-owned by the Big Ten they show less favoritism to the Big Ten than what ESPN does with the SEC currently.

Mark is my dude (same school, same major), but when it comes to talking football, he's pretty delusional.

Last year before the start of the season he said it was the year of the Panther and predicted Pitt to make a major bowl appearance. I'm all for homerism, but that's downright crazy :weirdo:

There is no doubt the SEC has one or two really good teams, but god damn, the way they talk about the SEC on espn, you'd think all their teams go undefeated or something. And don't even get me started on the Tebow thing. :thumbdown......

What also hasn't helped is the Big Ten keeps getting an extra BCS team. While that's good for $$$$, it's spread the conference way to thin. In '07, Illinois belonged in the Outback Bowl, not the Rose, and doing so would've helped the BT alot. Last year, OSU should've been in the Cap One Bowl and beaten Georgia, and the Big Ten would've gone 4-3 instead of 1-6.

Also, don't forget the BT is 4-2 in Bowl games vs the SEC if you exclude OSU's games.

It's not so much I disagree with the perception that the BT is down, it's just now as done as some believe.
