More ESPN genius

Nope... the AP writes an incredible amount of stories each day, and each is copy edited very thouroughly. Consequently, the most they ever get from the publisher is a quick readover. Unless the person putting it online knew about the game, they never would have caught it.

In all honesty, the error rate at the AP is VERY small in comparison to how much they write.

Jordan, you've now managed to lose all credibility with regard to sports media, if that's what you really think.

And in any case, it's more like "Jeremy Schaap, ES.......PN"

[CowbellGuy]

Oh no! Can't risk losing credibility over something as silly as expressing your opinion, now can we? ::rolleyes::

Speaking of ESPN sucking, ESPN.com's school information for Cornell says we have never one and NCAA Div 1 championship in anything.

I can't find a webmaster e-mail address to complain to.  Maybe someone with more time to kill can figure it out.

I think (hope) this sitehttp://espn.go.com/sitetools/s/contact/espn.com.html works as I emailed them about their mistake.

[DeltaOne81]

Not to mention that they didn't even mention Lynah!  ::twitch::  ::twitch::

[RichS]

Lets hear it for their crack research dept!  All they had to do is run it by either Berman or John Saunders...those dudes would now the "true facts"!

[rhovorka]

At first I thought there were no National titles listed because judging from the side menu on that page it only considered football and basketball, but then I looked at http://college.espn.go.com/ncf/schoolinfo?collegeId=108

Wow... Harvard has won 31 DI championships in men's squash.  Aren't we all jealous?  :-D

[gwm3]

And the NCAA was staging lacrosse championships in 1881.  Wow.

[Dave \'02]

I don't know about staging them, I suspect it was more of a voting thing like football.

[RichS]

I would not make light of that...squash is a pretty demanding sport.  Try it sometime! :-D

[Ben Doyle 03]

RichS - Josh was definitely not making fun of the sport. . .but the school.:-)

[Josh '99]

Exactly.  :-D

[RichS]

I should have known that...::rolleyes::   Okay then!

Really, I should have...thats what happens when I work too many hours!

:-D
