What about the Cotton Bowl?

Apparently, if a football game isn't on ESPN, it doesn't exist.
The sports network has a billion talk shows devoted to college football. I've watched all week and have not heard one peep about tonight's Cotton Bowl.
Finally, I checked the TV Guide and saw the game will be broadcast on Fox.
I understand ESPN is not going to run promotional ads for a game on a rival network. But, to totally ignore the game and pretend it's not going to happen just shows how petty ESPN has gotten.
At one time, the sports network covered all the big events. That doesn't mean the big event was aired on their network. But, sports fans could still tune to ESPN to hear their analysis on the game.
That's what a sports network does. It gives highlights and analysis of all the big "sports" events.
Today's version of ESPN limits itself to Tim Tebow, LeBron James and Alex Rodriguez. That's the extent of the sports network's extensive coverage except for the events it is directly broadcasting.
ESPN will give an hour of discussion on a hot dog eating contest if it's aired on that network. But, a college football game between two highly-ranked team isn't worthy of a mention because it's on Fox.
Now, that's some brilliant sports coverage, right there.
