ESPN Eve

Well it's almost here, "The Game".............

Regardless of outcome I think the sun will still rise and set on Friday. I think it's nice that ESPN2 would put a DIII game on the air but I doubt that any McDonalds All-Americans will be signing letters of intent to Beloit or Grinnell any time soon.

Has anyone heard if John Burris is planning on attending the game??? Based on his comments posted on the Beloit website my guess is that he isn't. That speaks volumes as to his interest in the program. The friendly wager between Presidents he spoke of is to be expected but to not show up at such an event is a slap in the face to everyone concerned. I was born and raised there, trust me, there isn't enough going on in Beloit on a Thursday night that warrants a President missing this game.

Hopefully it becomes a slap in the face for him. The telecast won't light up the Neilsen ratings but people are interested in the game and my hope is that they voice their concerns to his office directly.
