I wouldn't sue because that would just get us back in the tabloids.....I think next time this happens (which I hope it won't) then we should sue....... For right now leave it alone and get concentrated at getting us back to a BCS bowl.

ESPN doesn't hate OSU, it just abused its journalistic freedom and dominance in sporting news to boos their ratings this time around.

Come next year, ESPN won't be able to stop bowing down to OSU's high flying offense with Ginn and co. We all know nothign will happen with the NCAA, and it looks like another top-5 recruiting class is on the way in 05. OSU is gonna be set, and ESPN will be back to kissing Tressel's feet.

Go bucks!

And this is just how they work this for the ratings. Let the dust settle and sports fans are like lemmings.

Make no mistake, OSU will lose a recruit or two it might have got because our competitors will be talking about a "possible NCAA probation". They have besmirched our image and the value of the OSU brand. We're a bit like the Raiders in many peoples' minds now.

I will not forget ESPN! I will not tune into your channel or your internet site. You can write all the favorable articles you want and kiss more than Tressel's feet! I won't be watching. I will be boycotting, if I am the only one alive that does so.

agreed 100%. I have not checked their website nor watched their station since the MoC story broke.
That is with exception of football games, i.e Purdue and some of UF FSU last nite.

My problem with booting ESPin to the curb is that I live in Virginia and can't see the Buckeyes without getting ESPN Gameplan.
Maybe the Big Ten sticks it to ESPN and I can watch it on another network.

Fine, so watch them for the Buckeyes and scrap them for everything else. Gosh, I wouldn't dream of missing the Buckeyes in a game but I sure won't be watching GameDay or looking for their content. I saw the same pictures from the game that are pasted above on every other site. What we want to do is to affect their audience numbers. Everytime we withhold audience, they hurt.

Watch, they will soon be running wonderful articles about the LadyBucks basketball team or the hockey team or maybe about what a great guy Thad is. Maybe not this soon, but its coming.

We just mustn't be stupid enough to fall for it. Boycott them!

But, goodness, no one can expect any of us to miss a televised game! The only chance I'll have to see a game this year is when the bowls are televised, if then. That would be ESPN and, if it is, I'll tune in for the game, mute every advertisement and then tune out.

I already sent my wish to Santa for Christmas. I am hoping that Andy Geiger gets Commissioner Delaney hot enough that they throw ESPN out of the Big Ten.

if they are willing to take on tOSU like this... who won't they be willing to go 15 rounds with next week? at what point do you require someone to be able to back up what they are spewing forth? according to the NBA your not allowed to beat the hell out of such idiots... so im not seeing many other options.
