ESPN Spends Entire Segment Previewing Bowl Game Between Michigan-Mississippi State, A Bowl Game That Doesn't Exist
You just hate to see it. Mistakes happen, I get it, but having an entire segment on Mississippi State with the words South Carolina right in front of you? Can you be any more robotic?
I don’t know how the pre-production aspect of this show works, but I assume they have each highlight package ready to go as each game begins to be previewed. So, this fuck up goes down the chain.
