I've read on many other boards about Luginbill saying something....what was it?
SemperTide said:He finally came out and openly admitted his man lust for charlie weiss.
ElephantStomp said:Loogybill is an idiot. I hope the rest of the country thinks like that guy. If the rest of college football thinks like that then our ride back to the top that much easier. I hate to say it, but in my opinion Julio Jones is the best player of the class. If ANYBODY else other than us would've had this class they would've had the number one class according to ESPN and it wouldn't have been close.

Did he mention his wife Mrs. Loogenbooger went to chopblock Univ. :lol:Bo7 said:Just to add to porkchop's comments, Luginbill in fact spent the majority of the interview attacking Rivals and Scout instead of explaining why his service was better or more accurate. When he did offer his version of reason, it was anything but.
For instance, he claimed the other services had an agenda which was to sell subscriptions. Of course, he failed to mention ESPN's Insider subscriber service. He also failed to explain how choosing Bama as #1 helped the competition sell more subscriptions. After allowing him to claim everyone had an agenda except him, Finebaum dropped the hammer on his head by asking if he was aware that ESPN had just signed a multi-million dollar deal with the ACC and pointing out that Luginbill's #1 and #2 picks were both ACC teams.
Finebaum also asked how all the other services could pick Alabama #1 and he had them so low until the last minute. Luginbill's answer was hysterical. He said, "Well, why isn't anyone asking if Rivals and Scout and everyone else maybe got it wrong?". Evidently, the law of averages is a forgiegn concept to this bozo.
He was also confronted with his comment after Julio announced Bama as his choice. Luginbill's comment was, "He made his bed and now he's got to lay in it." He tried to down play the comment, but everyone with half a brain knows exactly what that old saying implies. He clearly missed on Julio going to OU and he clearly had either an anti-Bama or anti-Saban agenda.
The best part of the day was when Finebaum had the CEO of Rivals on following Luginbill. This guy systematically dismantled each and every aspect of Luginbill's comments without ever attacking ESPN or making a single derogatory remark.
It was a credibility blowout that left Luginbill ranking slightly behind a used car salesman and a crackwh*re, but still just ahead of an auburn fan explaining Tubby's recruiting class.

I may have heard him wrong but I thought that in the interview with PF he said that his wife was NOT an Auburn grad, though I've heard that mentioned before. So is that a rumor or did his wife go to AU and not graduate?
But like Bo alluded to, for ESPN employees to go onto a talk show riding the high horse about not having an agenda and not having to sell subscriptions is a load of crap and I'm dissapointed that Lugenbill was not called out on that. Anyone that has ever logged into ESPN.com knows that almost the entire site has gone "insider", meaning you have to pay for info. In fact, all of their recruiting is insider, so Luginball is dancing around the issue trying to portray ESPN in a favorable light while not being completely honest about it.
And as far as the whole "agenda" issue goes...we're talking about ESPN. I think it's evident that if anyone here has an agenda it is ESPN. They have become the ultimate spin machine and have a history of slanting their coverage to fit their agendas. The whole situation would be laughable if it were not filled with so many outright lies and distortions.
