I missed the segment (dammit) but at some point on the air this morning, ESPN’s John Saunders said something like the following:
"Both teams in the 2011 BCS Championship Game are under probation."
Saunders clearly misspoke—I’m sure he meant that both teams from the championship game were under investigation, not probation. But the reaction from the Auburn fambly was as swift as it was predictable. Here is just a sample of the Tweets send to @JohnReporters, John Saunders Twitter account.
Enjoy!
itshodgey @johnreporters Why the Hell did you say Auburn is on probation, when there not.
rpp4au @johnreporters you actually presented the BCS trophy to Chizik after the NC game and you think Auburn is on probation? RETRACTION NOW!
BadAUrabbit @johnreporters How can anyone trust your reporting when you tell blatant lies about Oregon and Auburn? #notonprobation
blaketrotter @johnreporters Do you not care at all about facts or the truth. Auburn is not on probation. Show some journalistic integrity. #Pathetic
DyeHardAU @Patr1ckL @johnreporters not forgotten! Sounds like an anti-AU agenda
