Disagree here. IMO Mays and Alberts have received so much trash talk from tOSU fans (emails, chat sessions, etc) that they look for any reason to stir the fire some more. They realize what a passionate and often obsessive fanbase we possess. The more they rile us up, the higher the reaction which will then spurn ratings as we stay glued to the television to see what they will say next.
I'm not buying the ESPN witchhunt anymore...I was all for it at first, but when the program keeps giving them ammunition, the smoke/fire argument grows legs. In no way do I believe JT or AG is dirty, but when you are not a tOSU fanatic like we are, it is a valid viewpoint to see serious issues in this program.
Just like Herbie, these two have a job to promote ratings. They are doing just that and our reactions work well in that strategy.
