Title: ESPNU selects Alabama over Auburn for April 16 spring game - BR
Post by: Terrie1959 on March 11, 2011, 12:02:53 PM
ESPNU will televise Alabama's spring football game live on April 16 at 2 p.m., opting for the 2009 national champions over Auburn, the team that just won the crystal trophy.

"We have a great relationship with Auburn," said Dan Margulis, ESPN director of programming and acquisitions. "It's tough because you want to cover the stories from the year before, but you're also previewing the next season. If Cam Newton is coming back, that sort of puts a different spin on it."

I think this is blog worthy.  Terrie, what do you think?  Do you want to move it to community blog so it shows up on the front page?

It looks like she stepped away for a minute.  I am going to go ahead and move this to the front page.  You can still comment on it just like any other forum post if you go to the community blog forum.

If the barn had a team for 2011 they would've been picked. Plenty of love for Bama the past few years. But why Arkansas? :-\

You know I think Arkie has been coming on pretty strong last few years. They played us close last year. RTR!

Title: Alabama Spring Game (not Aub's) on ESPNU.

"ESPNU will televise Alabama's spring football game live on April 16 at 2 p.m., opting for the 2009 national champions over Auburn, the team that just won the crystal trophy."

"The crowds dictate a lot of it," Margulis said. "That's one of the reasons Alabama is a game you look at (televising) because of the crowds they get. When you get 95,000 people in the stands, it creates an environment that if there are that many people watching, that's something I want to see (on TV)."
ESPNU (http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/03/espnu_selects_alabama_over_aub.html)

You know, simply rob one family, and now you're tainted for life.  Nobody wants to see the Aubs play football (unless they film Longest Yard III in the state penitentiary).
