I got a tweet about the leaked bracket and found out the watch party was cancelled so I never made it to Gill. Two folks here at work had taken the afternoon off and took their kids. They said there were folks from Newport and Portland that they talked to that were more than peeved. All the blame at ESPN will land on some Intern's head. The folks that made the call to cancel at OSU probably had their reasons (saving some punch and cookies for the Gymnastics watch party), but they need to understand that the spirit you crushed yesterday might not be a season ticket holder next year. Geeky, tech-happy, super fans like myself are clued in with the latest news when it breaks. The casual fan, bringing the fam from yonder village, paying for parking and getting the cold shoulder might not be so inclined to return. That said, I wonder if they gave them a sweet deal on tickets for the weekend? Nah, I forgot, that's a set NCAA price...maybe just a sweet deal on some burnt popcorn!

Pretty lame PR move on OSU's part to cancel the party. But what else is new. I really don't think so. Schools across the country cancelled their shows. |

I really don't think so. Schools across the country cancelled their shows. Most of the costs were already sunk....why not have it and celebrate with the team? Crack a joke or too about 'surprises' and ESPN.. 'Hey you can't spell "ESPN" if you don't have "ESP" ' Try the Veal...it's wonderful and don't forget to tip your cocktail servers.. I would bet the decision on whether or not to proceed with the party was Rueck's call. |
