ESPNU LAUNCHES 2010 COLLEGE GAMEDAY TOUR

Customized Minibus with DJ Booth, Body Painting Station Headed to College GameDay Sites for 2010 Season

CHICAGO (September 1, 2010) — ESPNU is bringing the “ESPNU College GameDay Tour” to all 14 regular-season College GameDay stops for the 2010 season.  The new experiential marketing tour, featuring a fully customized ESPNU minibus, will include a DJ booth, as well as a college-themed body and face painting station where students can pick their school colors each week to display their school spirit.

At each tour stop fans will be able to listen to a live DJ, and visit the painting station before kickoff to uniquely express their true fandom in the stands.  The tour will also include several LED televisions showing live coverage of the College GameDay telecasts (televised on ESPNU from 9 – 10 AM ET and ESPN 10 AM to noon).  Throughout the event ESPNU event staff will be distributing ESPNU giveaways to fans, including T-shirts, lanyards and koozies.  Another focal point of each stop will be the ESPNU monument (a 24-foot tall monument designed in the likeness of the ESPNU logo), which will be prominently displayed on each host campus throughout the weekend.

The ESPNU College GameDay Tour begins on Sept. 4, 2010, in Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game pitting LSU vs. North Carolina.  Each week, the minibus will travel to the College GameDay site, which will originate from one of the day’s best games or with the most compelling storyline.  The site will generally be determined the Monday of that week’s show.  Prior to each Saturday game, the ESPNU minibus will also activate around campus beginning on Thursdays at a variety of different college football-themed events, including pep rallies and tailgates.

“We’re excited that ESPNU, a network so centric to college sports, is going to be a major part of the College GameDay fan experience this season,” said Jeffrey Gonyo, senior director of sports marketing, ESPN.  “By aligning with such an amazing television franchise, the ESPNU College GameDay Tour will literally place us right in the heart of college football each week.”

The ESPNU College GameDay Tour coincides with the announcement that ESPN’s College GameDay is expanding to three hours this season, providing an extra hour of college football analysis, news and features every Saturday.  College GameDay airs at 9 AM ET this fall on ESPNU and ESPNU HD and from 10 AM ET to noon on ESPN and ESPN HD.

The ESPNU College GameDay Tour is free to attend and fans of all ages are welcome to participate.  For more details and the complete ESPNU College GameDay Tour schedule please visit http://www.ESPNU.com.

2010 Monday Night Football Chalk Talk Series

Kickoff Event at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York September 13 with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jets Owner Woody Johnson and ESPN President George Bodenheimer

The Monday Night Football Chalk Talk Series is back for its fourth year with seven planned events during the 2010 NFL season. The series will kick off Monday, September 13 at Cipriani 42nd Street in midtown Manhattan before the season-opening MNF game between the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium.

The MNF Chalk Talk Series renews a tradition that originally began in the 1970s with local luncheon events in the early years of sports television’s signature series.  On-air personalities in town to cover the game shared their insider perspectives with invited guests from the local community.  ESPN and the NFL launched the Chalk Talk Series in 2007 to showcase the teams and host cities participating in the weekly MNF primetime games.

This fall, ESPN commentators will participate in the luncheons, along with prominent alumni players from the competing teams, who will take part in panel discussions and question-and-answer sessions. The rotation of ESPN NFL experts will include Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski from the MNF booth, and reporters Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya. Local ESPN Radio personalities in each city will also help emcee the programs.

An All Pro lineup will kick off the ESPN series Sept. 13 in New York. ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap will host with Greg Buttle, former Jets linebacker and co-host of 1050 ESPN Radio’s Jets Gameday show. Anticipated guests will include NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson, and ESPN President George Bodenheimer. The MNF trio of Tirico, Gruden and Jaworski is scheduled to be part of the program, as are Jets alumni players Wayne Chrebet, Joe Klecko and Ken O’Brien, and former Ravens kicker Matt Stover.

“The Chalk Talk Series is a unique opportunity for ESPN to work with the NFL, the teams and sponsors to celebrate the game of football and the Monday Night Football franchise,” said John Wildhack, ESPN executive vice president, programming acquisitions & strategy. “We are thrilled to continue this successful program for a fourth season with seven events this fall, including our first in New York before the primetime opener at the New Meadowlands Stadium.”

National sponsor Dick’s Sporting Goods will continue its involvement in the program for the fourth year, along with sponsors Bud Light, Geico, Snickers, Toyota and Head & Shoulders.

Following the opening event in New York, the series will continue at Carnivale Chicago before the Packers- Bears game (Sept. 27); at Sun Life Stadium in South Florida (Oct. 4) and at Cowboys Stadium (Oct. 25), site of the NFC East MNF matchup between the Giants and Cowboys, as well as Super Bowl XLV.  Some 300 guests will be part of each MNF Chalk Talk Series event with invitations going to local civic and business leaders, sponsors and fans.  Events are scheduled for 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. in most cities on MNF game days.

Chalk Talk Series events will also include an ESPN RISE Above Award segment. One male and one female student-athlete in each city will be honored with a student-athlete award for overcoming adversity and excelling in their sports while motivating teammates/classmates to excel as well. Deserving students will be identified by the MNF host teams; the recipients will be selected by NFL Community Affairs, Team ESPN and ESPN RISE, ESPN’s commitment to engage and elevate high school athletes by providing them with recognition, resources, information and inspiration to motivate them to improve their skills and achieve their goals on and off the field of play.

“BYU is nationally recognized as an outstanding university and for the history and tradition of its premier athletic programs,” said Burke Magnus, ESPN senior vice president, college sports programming. “Once BYU decided to chart an independent course for football, we both recognized it is a good opportunity to build and grow our strong 30- year relationship. With this agreement, college football fans around the country will see the quality and pageantry of BYU as well as the passion and enthusiasm of its supporters.”

“ESPN’s long history of televising some of the great games in Cougar football history was one of the reasons we reached out to them when we began this process,” said BYU President Cecil O. Samuelson. “We’re thrilled to return to an official relationship with the family of networks that has done so much for us over the years, and which has a well deserved reputation for high-quality productions. We’re also grateful to ESPN for accommodating our in-house broadcasting arm, BYU Broadcasting.”

ESPN will receive first selection rights to all BYU home games and any neutral site matchup where BYU is the designated home team. Details include:

  • An annual minimum of three games on ESPN, ESPN on ABC or ESPN2, including telecasts on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Lee Corso Honored with NCFAA Contributions to College Football Award

September 1, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Lee Corso Honored with NCFAA Contributions to College Football Award

ESPN’s Lee Corso – one of college football’s most knowledgeable, opinionated and entertaining analysts and a part of the two-time Emmy Award winning College GameDay Built by The Home Depot from its first year in 1987 – will be the recipient of National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) 2010 Contributions to College Football Award. The award given annually by NCFAA, an association of all the major awards in college football, recognizes exceptional contributions to college football and a lifetime of achievement and integrity.

“I am humbled and honored to receive the NCFAA Contributions to College Football Award, especially following the previous recipients of the award,” said Corso. “I have enjoyed my involvement in college football – as a player, coach and analyst for the past 52 years. It has been an amazing ride.”

Corso will be the ninth recipient of the award with previous honorees including Darrell Royal, Keith Jackson, Vince Dooley, Tom Osborne, Chuck Neinas, Frank Broyles, Bobby Bowden and LaVell Edwards. The award will be presented to Corso Thursday, Dec. 9 as part of The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET.

NCFAA President Danielle Moorman added, “We cannot think of a more deserving individual than Lee Corso for this award. As a player, coach and broadcaster, Lee is woven into the fabric of college football and his presence on College GameDay has helped the show become the most authoritative and comprehensive in college football.”

Corso joined ESPN in 1987 after 28 years as a coach at the college and professional levels, including 17 seasons as a head coach. While he is known for his opinions, analysis and daring predictions, Corso’s style of picking his winning team from the featured game by donning that team’s mascot head has become a fan favorite and the most anticipated moment of each show.

In 2001, Sporting News magazine selected Corso as the 17th most influential person in college football. The magazine in January 2004 ranked Corso and fellow GameDay hosts – Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit – as 2003’s “Most Powerful Media Personalities in Sports.”

Corso was head coach at Louisville from 1969-72 and led the Cardinals to two Missouri Valley Conference titles and their second-ever bowl game, the 1970 Pasadena Bowl. He then moved to Indiana in 1973 where he spent 10 seasons as the head coach of the Hoosiers, leading the school to their first bowl victory in 75 years, a 38-37 decision over previously unbeaten Brigham Young in the 1979 Holiday Bowl. He coached Northern Illinois in 1984 before taking over the reins of the Orlando Renegades of the United States Football League (USFL) in 1985 for one season.  He began his coaching career as an assistant coach for 11 seasons (1958-68) at Florida State, Maryland and Navy. In addition, from January-July 1991, Corso served as General Manager of the World League’s Orlando Thunder.

Corso began his television career serving as an analyst on bowl games for Mizlou (1979-82) and USFL games for ABC (1983). He debuted on ESPN in 1987 as a game analyst, calling one season of Arena Football and two seasons of college football. Corso’s seasoned presence and insightful analysis on College GameDay have helped the show earn a huge following.  The in-season Saturday morning show won a Sports Emmy in 2009 and 2007 and received nominations in 2000 and 2003. In 2006, College GameDay received the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame’s Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award.

Corso, whose college roommate was actor Burt Reynolds, received four varsity letters in both football and baseball at Florida State. He is a member of the Hall of Fame at Florida State and the Louisville. Corso was also inducted into the state of Florida Sports Hall of Fame in St. Petersburg. In 2006, he received the Florida State Alumni Association’s Gold Medal, the highest alumni honor.

A graduate of Florida State University, Corso earned a bachelor of arts degree in physical education and a master’s degree in administration and supervision. Corso is director of business development for Dixon Ticonderoga, Heathrow, Fla., an international diversified manufacturer and marketer of writing and arts products.

ESPN College Football Analysts Ruminate on Conference Winners, BCS Champion

Here, ESPN college football analysts Ed Cunningham, Bob Davie, Lou Holtz, Craig James and Jesse Palmer joined the GameDay crew in the discussion, with each analyst providing his prediction for winners in each of the six automatic qualifying  BCS conferences as well as the winner of the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game (Jan. 10 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN).

For complete details, see Monday’s news release.

Big East

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit UConn I think that this football team obviously went through so much last year, won their last four games, I think really came together. Great nucleus of that team comes back this year.
Lee Corso Pitt They’ve got West Virginia at home, and Dion Lewis is the best player in the conference.
Desmond Howard Pitt I like returning (RBs) Dion Lewis and Jonathan Baldwin, fantastic offensive players; plus they’ve got only two tough road games, Utah and UConn.
Ed Cunningham Pitt This program is for real, this is the year it comes true.
Bob Davie Pitt Running game and improved defense.
Lou Holtz Cincinnati Talent on offense: Zach Collaros at QB, Pead at RB, Woods and Binns at WR. Can’t be any worse on defense than in ’09 and they won it anyway.
Craig James Pitt Wins and championships usually go to teams who can dominate in the running game. I expect another great year on the ground by Pitt.
Jesse Palmer West Virginia 19 starters return to a team that finished 9-3 in 2009 regular season. Maybe the best defense at WVU since the 1988 team that played in national championship game.

ACC

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit Miami (Over Boston College) I think the ‘Canes have been a very young team the last couple years, they group up this year, show some maturity, more consistency.
Lee Corso Virginia Tech They run the old-fashioned way: Run it, kick it, play defense.
Desmond Howard Miami I think they do have the talent to do it this year; the coordinators are in place finally for two years in a row.
Ed Cunningham Florida State The champion will have two or three in-conference losses and Florida State is good enough to only do that.
Bob Davie Virginia Tech Great balance and skill on offense. Always good on defense.
Lou Holtz Florida State (Over Georgia Tech) Christian Ponder will have a great year at QB. Five starters back on the offensive line, good receivers and defense can’t help but be better under Mark Stoops.
Craig James Georgia Tech Very balanced league, yet again I go with a team who I know will run the ball and control the clock.
Jesse Palmer Virginia Tech Improved passing QB Tyrod Taylor has his top six targets back, as well as one of the best RB tandems in the nation, Ryan Williams and Darren Evans.


Big Ten

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit Ohio State (Over Boston College) Terrelle Pryor will use the Rose Bowl as kind of a balancing opportunity to get into 2010 and really showcase his talents. I think Jim Tressel will trust him more and really attack on the offensive side.
Lee Corso Iowa They’ve got Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State and Wisconsin all at home, and Ricky Stanzi has never lost a game that he started and finished.
Desmond Howard Wisconsin This is the year that they finally get over that hump; they have Ohio State at home, they’ve got to travel to play Iowa.
Ed Cunningham Wisconsin Call me after October 16 and make fun of this pick.
Bob Davie Ohio State Confidence again in winning big games after last year’s Rose Bowl.
Lou Holtz Ohio State They are a complete team. They can run and throw, good offense and good defense, plus an excellent QB in Terrelle Pryor.
Craig James Ohio State Loads of talent and an offensive line that I expect to make Terrelle Pryor and the rest of the offensive players look great. All great offenses have one thing in common: great offensive lines.
Jesse Palmer Ohio State Terrelle Pryor demonstrated his potential during last season’s Rose Bowl victory and he’s surrounded by gifted and experienced playmakers at the skill positions.

Pac-10

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit Stanford Jim Harbaugh obviously built this program from the ground up. I think they’ll show that there’s more to this team than Toby Gerhart, and Andrew Luck could be the best player in the Pac-10.
Lee Corso USC Monte Kiffin’s defense and they’ve got Oregon and Cal at home.
Desmond Howard Oregon Nick Costas is not a great quarterback but he has great talent around him.
Ed Cunningham USC Don’t forget, Tennessee got better in the second half of last season.
Bob Davie Oregon Even without Masoli, they still have the best spread scheme in the conference.
Lou Holtz USC One of three teams with a proven QB, still the most talented team in the Pac-10. They will rally together because of the probation and people are writing them off.
Craig James Oregon I worked their spring game and I didn’t see one bit of distraction within the team from off-field stuff. The Ducks are focused and talented and have a very good coaching staff.
Jesse Palmer Oregon 17 starters return to a team that must overcome the loss of QB Jeremiah Masoli, however they still have the talent to survive conference road tests at USC and Oregon St.

SEC

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit Florida (Over Auburn) John Brantley is going to perform well, I think Jeff Demps is going to have a breakout year this year, put up some huge numbers. And the defense will have a chance to really rally around people questioning some of the youth and inexperience.
Lee Corso Florida They’ve got tremendous athletes on both sides of the ball, a favorable schedule — they could lose to Alabama at Alabama, and still win it in the SEC title game in Atlanta.
Desmond Howard Alabama But not against Florida. I have Alabama against Georgia in the SEC championship game.
Ed Cunningham ?? There are almost four teams that can compete with all too many unanswered questions.
Bob Davie Alabama Because of their ability to run the football and minimize mistakes.
Lou Holtz Alabama (Over S. Carolina) A winner at QB, two great RBs, Julio Jones at WR, good offensive line and SABAN will always have a great defense.
Craig James Alabama Anybody who picks another team to win the SEC is throwing mud against the wall trying to look good “if” their pick is right. No plausible reason to pick any other team in the SEC.
Jesse Palmer Alabama With nine starters back on offense, and the best 1-2 combination in the Bowl Subdivision at RB, Alabama continues its physical dominance on both sides of the ball in 2010.

Big 12

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit Oklahoma (Over Nebraska) Sense of urgency after an 8-5 year. Landry Jones, DeMarco Murray and Ryan Broyles, that trifecta will put up some huge numbers for the Sooners.
Lee Corso Nebraska They’ve got a kicker, Alex Henery, he does it all. I like him.
Desmond Howard Nebraska I like Bo Pelini’s group and I think they’re going to beat Oklahoma for the Big 12 championship.
Ed Cunningham Texas Nebraska just can’t win the conference in their last year, can they?
Bob Davie Texas They have the best defense in the league.
Lou Holtz Nebraska (Over Oklahoma) Zac Lee & Cody Green at QB, Roy Helu Jr. at RB, three starters on offensive line, but mostly because of Bo Pelini’s defense.
Craig James Nebraska This being their last season in the Big 12 and with a bulls-eye on their chest, Bo Pelini will have his team ready to take on the world. I’m expecting a much more opened-up offense to go along with another strong defense.
Jesse Palmer Nebraska Bo and brother Carl Pelini continue to mastermind dominant defense, while Nebraska is able to establish a more consistent and dependable running game in 2010.

BCS Championship Game

ESPN Analyst Winner Comments
Kirk Herbstreit Ohio State (Over Oklahoma) I like Oklahoma coming out of the Big 12 but I think Jim Tressel will open up the playbook this year for Terrelle Pryor.
Lee Corso Nebraska Beating Florida, just like in 1995. Nebraska’s defense wins it.
Desmond Howard Alabama The trend right now is whoever wins the SEC championship game, they go to the BCS championship game, so I’ve got Alabama beating the team who I say will be there in 2010, Miami.
Ed Cunningham Wisconsin (Over TCU) TCU overtakes Boise State in the standings because of tougher in-conference play at the end of the season and Wisconsin’s schedule sets up pretty well.
Bob Davie Alabama Over Ohio State, Alabama is a back-to-back champ.
Lou Holtz Ohio State (Over Boise State) The Big 10 wins the championship. Boise State loses their first game. Ohio State is not the best team, Alabama is – but they lose to Florida in Tuscaloosa. With a target on your back, it’s hard not to get wounded when everyone is shooting at you.
Craig James Alabama (Over Ohio State) The balance of the Tide’s offense and their speed on defense will allow them to somewhat contain Pryor. There’s nothing like experience when it comes to playing BIG games, and the Tide has lots of experience to pull from.
Jesse Palmer Alabama (Over Ohio State) SEC wins fifth straight national championship behind physical running and aggressive defense.

ESPN The Magazine Dives Deep into the NFL: Ray Lewis on the Cover

August 27, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

With the Baltimore Ravens chosen as a favorite to win this year’s Super Bowl, linebacker Ray Lewis is ready to break out and claim the championship title everyone else is vying for. In the meantime, Lewis is featured in ESPN The Magazine’s photo-act “Faces Of The Game”—a photographic tribute to the stars, suits and surprises who make the NFL what it is today.  Photos

AND… “Five Days In The Life Of An NFL Coach” shines the light on Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini, who allowed ESPN The Magazine writer Seth Wickersham to have unfiltered access to his routine for a few days. Wickersham reveals the hard-working coach who is trying to improve his team—and himself. Also in The Mag’s NFL Preview issue, writer Alan Grant gives an in-depth breakdown of one of the most complex and lethal plays in football: the screen pass.

PLUS… ESPN The Magazine’s latest “NFL Confidential” survey is out:

- Who will win the Super Bowl? 29.6% foresee a repeat of last year with the Saints coming out on top.

- If you could be a superstar in another sport, what would it be? At 32.3%, baseball is the most popular answer, with basketball coming in at a close second with 29.2% of the votes.

- How many concussions have you had? What percentage have you kept to yourself? 54.1% of the players who took the survey have gotten concussions and of those, most went unreported (58.2%).
- What is home field advantage worth? 71.4% of players overwhelmingly agree the edge is a field goal.

ESPN Announces SEC on ESPN Men’s College Basketball Schedule

August 26, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

ESPN Announces SEC on ESPN Men’s College Basketball Schedule

ESPN, the exclusive national cable home and syndication rights-holder for the Southeastern Conference, presents the SEC on ESPN men’s college basketball conference schedule, including the entire SEC Tournament, in the second year of the historic 15-year agreement with the conference. ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3.com and the SEC Network will feature 102 conference controlled games, including 91 regular-season and all 11 SEC Tournament games.

ESPN3.com, ESPN’s live broadband sports network, will simulcast all SEC games televised on ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network and regional syndication partners. Also, many games will be available on ESPN FULL COURT, ESPN’s out-of-market pay-per-view package. In addition, ESPN networks will televise an extensive schedule of non-conference action (schedule to be determined).

The SEC Network, ESPN Regional Television’s over-the-air syndication package, will present a minimum of 37 SEC games in 79 television markets nationwide. Also, the SEC Network will present the SEC Studio show each Saturday afternoon through the regular season and the SEC Tournament.

ESPN on ABC will televise the SEC Basketball Tournament semifinals and championship game nationally, while the first two rounds will be available on the SEC Network. The tournament is set for March 10-13 in Atlanta.

The SEC on ESPN schedule includes the 2011 College GameDay Driven by State Farm opener from Knoxville, Tenn., site of the Tennessee Volunteers men’s and women’s teams hosting the Vanderbilt Commodores men’s and women’s programs at noon ET and 8 p.m., respectively. The doubleheader marks the first time the show has originated from a site featuring a men’s and women’s game played in the same day.

College GameDay will return to SEC country for the Feb. 5 matchup of Kentucky at Florida, a showdown of teams ranked in ESPN senior college basketball writer Andy Katz’s early preseason poll (No. 13 Kentucky vs. No. 10 Florida). College GameDay is hosted by Rece Davis with analysts Jay Bilas, Digger Phelps, Hubert Davis and Bob Knight.
