Major Fox Color Guy Screw-Up

Near the end of the Whiners-Seahawks game, the Fox color guy started talking about Jim Harbaugh's coaching history. He described the U of SD as D-III. Wrong! As we all know, the Toreros are D-I. The D-III team in SD is the UCSD Tritons.
The average Joe makes mistakes, but national color analysts are supposed to do their homework. Fire this guy NOW!!!

He should be banned the rest of the year for this egregious mistake.

Where's the petition to get this guy fired? I'll sign. This is inexcusable. Almost as bad as not knowing what city 'Sacred City' refers to.

Don't forget "Manure Pile", Cow Poly I kinda figured out myself.
San Diego is closer to D.III than D.I.

Honestly, anyone who manages to piss off San Diego fans on national television is a-okay in my book.

He did do his homework, he got it right.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard commentators refer to Delaware as D-2. Ironically, they didn't start calling Delaware I-AA until the name was officially change to FCS.
