I was reading Dan Levy's Sporting Blog entry on his NFL Red Zone experience when a headline in the left column caught my eye: Binghamton Athletics Shames School, Offends Zoo. I could not believe my eyes. I knew things in my hometown have not been good, but I wondered what Binghamton High School athletics could possibly have done to shame the school and offend the Ross Park Zoo. After all, Binghamton is not exactly a huge metropolis, but we never went out cow-tipping.

Of course I had to open the article, and reading it allowed me to let go a partial sigh of relief. It was NOT Binghamton High School that offended the zoo. It was Binghamton University.

And this time it was not the allegations of sex in exchange for athletic department donations or the international manhunt for a former player who fled the country to escape prosecution for assault.

I am tired of hearing that blight on Binghamton University, the men's basketball team, being referred to as a "zoo." ...

Not one of our tigers has been arrested with cocaine. No otter knocks over old ladies to shoplift condoms. Our bear doesn't have temper tantrums and storm off his exhibit. You won't find any of our lemurs busted for smoking pot. So, please, stop insulting zoos by comparing those criminals to us.

Amanda J. Padwa, Business Manager, Ross Park Zoo

It seems that Bingo U's college basketball coach Kevin Broadus has brought some less than stellar citizens into the school. Six were recently dismissed from the team that went 23-8 last year, including one facing charges of cocaine distribution. Of course this has put an unwelcome spotlight on the school and the basketball program they are trying to build out of greed,

Yes, Tony Kornsheiser is an alumna of the school, but he went there when it was known as Harpur College. Harpur is just one of the many names the school has had over the years, and was we as teenagers used as a dereogatory term when the students, predominantly from Long Island, walked around liked the owned the place. And when those Lon Gislanders would come into McDonald's (where I worked) and demand their hamburgers and cheeseburgers have no mustard...well it was not pretty. And for crying out loud, the school is not even IN Binghamton. It is in VESTAL.

But I digress.

The university has never been an example of athletic success, with the exception of the wrestling team the school tried to disband some years back. It is a "brain" school, full of some very smart people. But they did like to party. When I was in high school, we always wanted to crash their parties and find out how college kids partied. We never did of course (and that is the part line answer!)

Their basketball program was non-existent. At one point they hired our really nice, but not so successful coach, David Archer (87-118 (0.424) in 8 seasons). Basketball just was not a priority then.

But things have changed and the Harpurs want their "fair share" of the NCAA Basketball Tournament money. By all accounts, they have done so in hiring Broadus. And as many writer's have said, he needs to be let go because he has no control of the program.

Why do I say this? Because this is the Triple-Cities of New York people, a dying community left to wallow in a legacy of ground-water pollution when IBM, which was born in the community and was key to getting the college established, up and left the community. So there is not a whole lot for students and student-athletes to do there. If a coach cannot maintain any control there, imagine waht would happen in a bigger city.

Note: To be fair, basketball player Emanuel "Tiki" Mayben was busted with possessing and selling cocaine in Troy, NY, and not in the greater Binghamton area.


In the end, it comes down to the school's integrity. And write now it is getting beaten up by the brutal New York City media and in the national sports media.

And finally, as a member of the original Seton Catholic Central High School "Zoo", led by the irrepressible Sean Keegan (pictured left) (what we called the student section at home games), I think we should be the ones offended.

We never got the chance to behave like the Binghamton University men's basketball team. Sister Paula always sat in the middle of us. We were not going to be given the chance to misbehave.

THAT is what you call institutional control.

Dang Harpurs!

Here is a round up of some of what is being written about the mess at Harpur:

Binghamton Athletics Shames School, Offends Zoo (Dan Levy, The Sporting Blog)

Please Stop Insulting the Zoo (Pete Thamel, The Quad - New York Times College Sports Blog)

There are always risks in signing long term contracts. An underlying theme of long deals is whether or not the value will be there as the contract goes on. That is the type of risk that CBS Sports and ESPN accepted when signing the new multi-year, megabucks media rights deals with the Southeastern Conference this year.

But one has to wonder if, after selecting fourth-ranked LSU at 14th-ranked Georgia for national broadcast this week, CBS Sports was suffering anxiety attacks watching this last weekend's games. In the final analysis, the answer is probably no.

Officially, CBS made the selection of the upcoming game last week. The backroom reality is that, as our readers learned last year, this game was slated for broadcast before the season started. Even then it was a risk because Georgia had lost Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno.

After Georgia fell 24-10 in the season opener to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, there were a lot of question marks around the ability of Senior Quarterback Joe Cox to really lead this year's Bulldog team to a winning season.

And then Steve Spurrier brought his South Carolina Gamecocks to Athens for a game that has traditionally been played very tightly, with offense not ruling the day. This year, however, the offense took off on both sides, with Georgia holding on for a 41-37 victory.

The next week, Georgia traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas to win another offensive barnburner 52-41 over the Arkansas Razorbacks. In his 3rd game as a starter, Joe Cox was 18-25 for 375 yards and five touchdowns. It took Stafford three years to reach that yardage mark in a game.

Georgia fans were ecstatic, somewhat. Having brutalized offensive coordinator Mike Bobo after the Oklahoma State loss, their target was now defensive coordinator Willie Martinez. "Martinez must go!" was the cry from the Bulldog Nation.

So this past weekend on a very stormy night, the Arizona State Sun Devils came to Athens, and Georgia kicked a last second field goal to win 20-17. Only 17 points allowed? The fans started backing off of Martinez a little bit. That may have been premature, as the weather and field conditions, probably had more to do with Arizona State's poor offensive showing (204 yards of total offense) than anything done by the Bulldog defense.

Notwithstanding, Georgia walked away with a 3-1 over all record (2-0 in the SEC). If not for the fact that Arizona State's Bobby Wenzig having his 37-yard field goal attempt with 4:31 remaining blocked by A.J. Green, Georgia could easily have been 2-2 (1-1 SEC).

Over in Starkville, Mississippi, now fourth-ranked LSU (4-0, 2-0 SEC) presumably faced an easy game against Mississippi State (MSU). LSU has had a relatively easy schedule so far this season, including a 31-3 win at home over Louisiana-Lafayette. Favored by two touchdowns, LSU had outscored Mississippi State 329-67 from 2001 to 2008.

But in last year's game, played in Baton Rouge, MSU only lost 34-24. But eventually that was not enough to save Sylvester Croom's job. So under first year Coach Dan Mullen, the Bulldogs played host to the Tigers.

And what a game it turned out to be. For LSU, defense is not always an issue. This game was a mixed bag though. MSU outgained LSU 374-263, and ran 86 plays compared to LSU's 59.

In the end though, LSU's defense and special teams rose when it had to. On MSU's first play from scrimmage, sophomore cornerback Patrick Peterson intercepted the pass and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown. Junior safety Chad Jones opened the fourth quarter with an electrifying 93-yard punt return for a touchdown that turned out to be the winning points. With less than 2 minutes left in the game, the defense mounted a successful goal line stand.

With the victory, LSU went to 4-0 and rose to number four in the polls.

This means CBS Sports gets two teams coming off of big wins this Saturday. LSU comes in with a questionable offense, and Georgia has a defense that needs to show it can do the job.

But even if the two teams had lost, the marquee value of the Southeastern Conference and these two teams will probably do very well for the network for two reasons.

First, look at what is being offered on the competing networks at the same time. ESPN/ABC has a split national/reverse mirror telecast featuring Florida State vs Boston College and Penn State vs Illinois. NBC Sports has Washington at Notre Dame. It is probably safe to say that CBS likes what they are offering up.

Second, you have to look at what games are being played around the SEC this weekend Games that could be considered for CBS broadcast in bold):

Ole Miss/Vanderbilt
South Carolina State/South Carolina
Auburn/Tennessee
Georgia Tech/Mississippi State
Alabama/Kentucky
Florida (idle)

This is why many of the games that CBS Sports will pick up during the season is somewhat predictable. The only other conference game that might make consideration if their seasons were going well would be Auburn and Tennessee. Auburn is 4-0 (1-0 SEC), but they are unranked. Tennessee offers the audience Lane Kiffen and not much else right now. Alabama is number three at 4-0, but Kentucky is not on anyone's radar.

So the bottom line is that even though LSU and Georgia could have come into this weekend wounded, CBS Sports got a good game, and the gamble of the long term contract worked in the network's favor. Both teams are ranked, and the game has huge impact on the SEC standings in both the East and West divisions.

Looking down the road to October 10th, CBS has already slated Florida vs LSU for their prime time telecast, and will be exercising the 6-day option window for the 3:30 game selection. Chances are that CBS will pick up either Georgia at Tennessee or Alabama at Ole Miss.

Apparently, Brent Musburger was quoting some Blue Oyster Cult songs during last night's telecast of Iowa's come from behind 21-10 upset of number 5 Penn State IN HAPPY VALLEY.

And you may be asking yourself why would he be doing that? What affinity does he have for the band? And why would he be having fun on the air when Steve Lavin isn't with him?

Well, according to one of his older friends and colleagues, who posted an "inside tip" to Facebook last night, Musburger used to be across the street neighbors of the Cult's bass player.

Don't worry, even though Widespread Panic's bass player Dave Schools used to live around the corner from me, I won't be quoting Panic songs on this site. Not because they aren't good, but Panic is a band best taken in live, not in writing. Then you can really jam!

Former Oakland Raider, NBC Analyst, and College Football Analyst Dave Rowe recently retired to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina after more than a 50 year association with the game of football. Eye on Sports Media approached Dave and asked him if he would like to write a series of guest articles recounting his history with the game. The man, who proudly states that his rear-end is enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, thought it would be fun.

So sit back and enjoy this first article in a series that will run each Friday until completed.

Wow, That Guy Must Be Really Old!!!
by Dave Rowe

Wow, that guy must be really old!!!

There he is, 50 years after his first taste of football in high school, stting in the homes of Roy Pickens and Jim Hawkins sharing stories of his playing days. Old friends and playing companions Al Jessup, Harry Donnelly and Lee Oberparleiter would all show up at his induction into the high school hall of fame

What an honor. Not for him, but for them to share the honor with him!

Oh it’s me! How in the world did I ever get to a point that I could look back at a 50 year involvement in football? OK, I guess the best place to start is at the beginning

From 9^th grade to 10^th grade I literally grow like a weed. Coach Roy Pickens saw me in the hallway of Deptford High School in New Jersey and said, “Good Lord son you should be hunting bear with a twig! How big are you? Do you play football? I need you to come out for my team!" The rest as they say is history.

Number 38 is the number given to me as these were the days in high school before positions were give numbers. We started at Number 1 and went up to number 42. So you can see that I was the new guy because I wore number 38! High School football fascinates me.

I remember trying out for the Midgets but unfortunately, I was not one of them and could not play because I weighed too much. At that moment I might have been the only midget to get weighed before all the moms in his underwear trying to be under 125 lbs.

Football is now something where you can take out all your frustrations and hit someone and no one notices it. Being 6’7” and weighing 275 lbs. you can imagine the jokes that I hear about being big. Funny? Yes, but they hurt too.

High school is basically fun. As a sophomore, I am just learning the game. I did not realize it at the time, but my high school coaches would go on to be integral parts of my life forever.

My senior year turned out to be an interesting one from an athletic standpoint.

Being the size I am, I excel in basketball, football and track in my senior year. I am recruited by everyone. Where do I go? What sport do I want to play. Most importantly, do I go?

I was leaning more towards football because of my weight. Being 6’7” is certainly an advantage for basketball but weighing 275 lbs. can be a huge disadvantage. I was built more like a football player and after visiting five or six schools, I believe my decision swayed towards football.

By early spring, even though I loved basketball, I was going to college and play football!

I have been under some outstanding coaches as you will find out, but no one ever touched my life like two high school coaches. Coaches Pickens and Hawkins instilled the values that I would take with me throughout life! I have often wondered where I would be without their influence. I know there are many great high school coaches but NEVER have there been any better.

Sounds like we won every game. But with coaches like Pickens and Hawkins, winning was important but it was not the only thing! They made it easy for me. I can still hear Coach Pickens saying, “SON, YOU ARE GOING TO COLLEGE!” and Coach Hawkins saying, “YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE!” It was never, do you want to go? I went because of them.

These were the days before colleges had the followings like they enjoy today! Today every young person has an affiliation to some school. I had no idea what college had to offer. I just went because my two high school coaches TOLD me to go. So it was off to Penn State I went.

Why Penn State? I have been asked that 1,000 times, and I have gone over in my mind, why did I choose Penn State? I visited a lot of schools and the more I visited the more confused I became. I looked everywhere for guidance but found little. My parents were too busy trying to raise 3 other children. My mom would ask how did you like that school and I‘d answer, “Oh, it was fine."

More and more confused, I went off to visit Penn State. Now remember Joe Paterno was an assistant coach, he did not recruit me. In the end, I believe I went to Penn State for two or three reasons.

First, the people that recruited me were great people. Alice and Mitchell Schmidt and Leon Gajecki had all gone to Penn State and were living in the area. Again, this was before the times of today’s recruiting! I almost became a member of their family if you counted the number of phone calls and visits to their homes for dinner.

The second and perhaps most important reason was that the girl I was dating in high school, who would eventually become my wife of now almost 44 years, was an inspiration. She often talked about college and my coming home for weekends. We talked about our future and how I HAD TO FINISH COLLEGE or WE didn’t have much future.

Penn State was a GREAT decision!

To be continued...

Here is a big shout out and thank you to television sports producer Lance Stewart out of the Charlotte area of North Carolina for giving up his eyes to help us out here at Eye on Sports Media.

If you notice up in the masthead, and as illustrated below in this post, we have added some very visual links to some social media sites where you can also follow some of what goes on here. When I saw a picture of Lance on his Facebook page, I knew it would be perfect for what I wanted to do design wise.


Lance said the the picture was actually taken by his friend Alex Farmartino (an Associate Producer with Raycom Sports).

So a huge shout out and thank you to Alex as well for taking such an awesome picture!

Week three of the NFL Season is upon on this weekend, but oh what a week that has passed.

Jerry Jones has opened his Xanadu, and NBC Sports gave it all the hype and glory they could, and then some. The question is whether or not this edifice will last as long or be as culturally relevant as the Taj Mahal in years to come.

On Monday, ESPN has the Cowboys at home against the Carolina Panthers. It will be interesting to see what, if any, homage they give to Jones on the stadium. It also remains to be seen if the ESPN production team gives as much face time to Jones as the folks at 30 Rock did.

On the non-TV front, Washington Redskin rookie Robert Henson will not have to face the fans he angered on Twitter after last Sunday's game. The 'Skins are on the road in Detroit and the market coverage for this game is only 5%. Fox Sports is not even listing Detroit in the target markets for the game as it looks like blackout city is looming again in the Motor City.

There are no byes this week.

At the request of a reader, we have added ESPN Deportes to the weekly assignments.

Here is the official announcement of the 2010 ESPN Bracketbuster pool of teams as announced by ESPN.

The eighth annual BracketBusters event, a two-day men’s college basketball extravaganza pitting potential NCAA Tournament hopefuls against each other Feb. 19-20, will feature 11 nationally televised games – on either ESPN2 or ESPNU -- selected from a pool of 98 teams.

For the fifth straight year, ESPNU, the 24-hour college sports network, will televise five BracketBusters games while ESPN2 will televise six contests. The 11 BracketBusters matchups will be announced Feb. 1, while game time and network assignments will be announced Feb. 8.

BracketBusters, named because of the success of the teams in NCAA Tournament play, will provide the 22 televised teams an opportunity to play other top non-conference opponents three weeks before Selection Sunday. The 76 teams not selected for BracketBusters will compete against each other through the same two days.

The 98-team field will feature 12 teams from the Mid-American and Colonial Athletic; 11 from the Ohio Valley, 10 from the Missouri Valley, Horizon League and Metro Atlantic Athletic; nine from the Western Athletic and Big West; four from the Big South and Southern; three from the America East; two from the MEAC; and one from the Big Sky and Summit League.

As part of the agreement, all 11 of the BracketBusters home teams, as well as the remaining 38 home squads, will play a “return” game at the home facility of their opponent in November or December of the 2011-12 season.

BracketBusters is part of ESPN’s college basketball franchise programming, along with Rivalry Week Presented by Cisco, Feast Week, Holiday Hoops Presented by Kay Jewelers, Judgment Week and Championship Week Presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Teams participating this season in BracketBusters have produced 89 appearances in the last six NCAA Tournaments, including a team in the Final Four – George Mason (2006); one in the Elite Eight – Davidson (2008); and six Sweet Sixteen squads – Butler (2007), Southern Illinois (2007), Bradley (2006), Wichita State (2006), UW-Milwaukee (2005) and Nevada (2004).
