🏈 Thurs. nights Texas vs Iowa State game continues to entertain.

What I always mention when I hear an Aggie go this direction...ESPN is in bed with everyone. Sure, they spent alot of money with Texas, maybe it causes ESPN to be biased, but they'd have to be biased to alot of different conferences and teams along the way. What I've always been interested in, does ESPN use their media presence to devalue a future TV contract they are going to sign.
