I was about to start this thread saying pretty much the same thing.  The white-haired pudgy guy on the right is particularly annoying.  Luckily, he won't be calling the game or doing color duties.

[CKinsland]

Ugh, blah, me too.

On the humorous side, during the "oh poor Duke, they've had to come from such adversity" 15 minutes, one commentator said something like "Well, even if Cornell loses some small part of them is going to be cheering Duke on"...implying that even Cornell players were rooting for Duke to overcome their problems.  The other commentator gave him a "what are you smoking look" and said something like "I think when Cornell takes the field the only thing they are going to thinking about is beating Duke".  

I mean geez, in 15 minutes of pre-game, that was the first mention of Cornell...all the rest was a recap of Dukes problems and all they've been through...and how the whole country is rooting for them to bounce back, blah, blah, blah.

Let's Go Red!

Can't expect anything else.  Duke is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ESPN.

Only one way to shut everybody up...

So has ESPN basically forgotten Boiardi as an inspirational story for Cornell?  This would have been his senior year, right?

[Liz '05]

yes, they have.

and max is down.

[jtwcornell91]

And Duke starts the game by cheap-shotting Siebald.  Nice work from the emotional favorites. ::rolleyes::

[Liz '05]

Mitchell!!  LGR!

No, he was a senior when he passed away. This year's seniors were freshmen then though.

That must be what I was thinking of.

[RM 08]

There's the reference, over 9 minutes in.

[jtwcornell91]

Not forgotten, apparently.  21 gets the mention.

Still seems like we're never the inspirational story, but always the opponent.  Going back to Erich Segal.

[French Rage]

Goal! 2-1!  Go miscellaneous other team playing valiant Duke!

[underskill]

is Seibald back?
