ESPN and ESPN2, not the other channels.
Correct. But still a huge "shots fired" moment that will likely be an important step in the changing pay TV landscape. With every new HBOGO, Netflix, and now Sling TV, Comcast's stranglehold on the media distribution model is a little more tenuous.

Exactly. I love it.

Thank you for the share! Always love to learn more about the past history of ND and those unsung individuals that also put in the hard work and dedication to the TEAM.
As a father I thought the letter reading by the son in the end was the most important part of this video. It makes you feel great inside when other people tell your children the great things that you do, especially when you are a reliable and focused individual.

It'll be funny watching them pretend to love the nhl now, after years of smashing it after losing the rights

Like when nascar was an also-ran story on sportscenter (their sports "news" program), then became the lead story on sportscenter when espn had rights to broadcast it, and is now an also-ran story on sportscenter again.

"News" only matters to espn relative to their own skin in the game.

I'm sorry, but I can't take these predictions seriously. Honestly, ND v. Alabama looks the most realistic matchup and it's not even close. USC in the playoffs? Oklahoma State!? Tennessee? MICHIGAN!!? Seriously, Harboner's a good coach and all, but he's not a miracle worker.

Why not USC? They just landed two back to back very good recruiting classes. Their OOC is weak (only 3 games, hardest is us BY FAR), they lost 3 of their 4 games by a possession or less. 3 of the 4 losses were also in conference. Only 1 loss at home. ESPN loves USC and the hype train, now that they are off sanctions, will be running full steam.

Michigan's the only one I have a problem with, and even that isn't out of the realm of possibility due to their schedule. If they get adequate QB play, they'll be set up to win double-digit games.

USC is on the way to being pretty damn fearsome as long as they stay healthy. Oklahoma State went through some growing pains in a brutal Big XII last year, so they could very well return to their usual explosive, over-achieving form. Tennessee is right on the edge of being an elite squad and bringing the SEC East back to respectability, IMO.

Hey ESPN. This Isn't just your regular SEC story, altho we all would like to know when a school from the south allows this type of behavior without repercussion. (or coverage)

"Service Dog Memes Facebook page", something no human in history (before the last 5 years) would have a fucking clue what that sentence means.

No. 7 happens to be a very lucky number. Maybe the luckiest of all numbers.

Coincidence considering the "luck of the Irish?"

I think not.
