Default college football more important than the world cup? front page of ESPN thinks so!

http://espn.go.com/

a college football game that ended a couple of hours ago is more important than putting us in the big box.

oh well, least they gave us some mention in the super small bottom right box.

13-3 Thats it? Hold-Up....... did soccer just have more scoring than the College Football game put in the big-box? This should end the no scoring in soccer once and for all.

It's a World Cup qualifier, not the World Cup.

just give it up.

college football, whether you like it or not, is huge for espn, espn's followers, ratings, sponsors, etc.

in fact, while i was watching the us/honduras game, i had the texas/colorado game on espon360 on the other monitor.

ironic that your name, gideon, is also the last name of a texas safety.

To give ESPN some credit, pretty much as soon as the game was over they showed highlights

The handball was on Holden though - not on Spector - I wonder if they had someone watching the game?

That was an absolutely massive game with National Championship implications, including the story of Tebow coming back from a terrible concussion. Stop finding reasons to cry about things and just enjoy the game. We are one of the four main stories, it's not even like the UF-LSU story is up in big letters and we are off to the side. If you wait 30 seconds you'll be able to see the picture

11:49 Looks like Spector with the handball
From the AP copy:

Carlos Pavon had a chance to tie following a hand ball in the penalty area by Jonathan Spector.
If it was a mistake, then half the world made the same mistake.

Click that small bottom right box -- soccer will now become the big box. And all will be well.
