cool to see UNI get acknowledged (even though ESPN evidently has banned anyone from saying "UNI", and it has to be said "Northern Iowa").

Though I have to say that the part of the program that impressed me the most was their tribute to Ed Thomas and his family.

That was pretty cool.

Although this Peyton Manning as Big Mike from the Blindside spoof is pretty funny so far. :D

I definitely chuckled at the Blind Side spoof.

Other than the UNI appearance, the Thomas tribute, and the "Dark Side", I thought the rest of the show was rather lame. but then, most award shows are.


oh, Brooklyn Decker looked hot too, so that's a plus. but still.

I agree with the above, I also liked Seth Meyers' opening.

Congrats to UNI :thumb:

Congrats Northern Iowa! Another accomplishment that Western Kentucky has done before UNI! :D To top it off, WKU done it to a MVC team. ;)

In 2008, when WKU beat Drake in the 1st round in Tampa Bay, FL. WKU also went to the Sweet Sixteen that year as well. Lost to UCLA with a courageous comeback in the 2nd half.

Oh, okay. You were referring to making it to the Sweet Sixteen. I thought you were saying that WKU had also won an Espy for Best Upset or something. (and while Drake was pretty good that year, WKU's win wasn't THAT big of an upset in most peoples eyes). But it was, of course, still a great accomplishment for the Hilltoppers as well.

They did win the ESPY that year. :nod:
