The ESPN show picked a fight with a Washington State program whose current circumstances were created in large part by the network.
Washington State Coach Jake Dickert found himself in the middle of a feud with ESPN’s “College GameDay.” as he prepared to take over hosting duties for “College GameDay,” ESPN’s wildly successful Saturday morning college football pregame show.
“People ask me that all the time: Why does the chemistry work?” Fitting said then. “And I don’t really have the answer; it just does. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re not bigger than the sport. ‘GameDay’ works because everyone has the show first. Period. And the sport of college football first. Period. It’s the college football fan first.”What bothered Fitting was that “GameDay” had become the focus of attention, not the game it was built to celebrate.
Back to the current state of affairs: The trouble started when Lee Corso, the 88-year-old longtime “GameDay” analyst, fumbled through a remark about the Sept. 23 game between Oregon State and Washington State, the two members of the Pac-12 who were left behind by realignment. Is McAfee screaming at a school flag on a cable TV show some kind of unconscionable sin? No, but it reads terribly. It’s one thing to operate as an unseen financial force ripping up the fabric of a sport to streamline your holdings. It’s another to point and laugh at the orphan you created, and it’s even worse when your millionaire talent is offended that the orphan is angry about its new predicament.
