ESPNU unveils new graphic for OU-Texas replay

ESPNU (Cox 253) will debut a graphic for its replay of the OU-Texas game at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. TMI, “Too Much Information,” will display unique factoids related to the two teams. ESPNU plans to use it for replays of college football telecasts previously aired on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2.

Examples supplied by the network include:

– the famed Hatfield-McCoy feud began in the 1870s over the rightful ownership of a hog.

– author John Grisham’s first novel to be turned into a film was 1993′s “The Firm,” starring Tom Cruise.

I’m not sure what these have to do with the OU-Texas game. Anyone know?

My best guesses.

1. There are two McCoys in the game, and OU-Texas is also a feud?
2. Some kind of strange John Grisham-Jermaine Gresham reference?

I hate it! This is an extremely stupid idea.

They are almost as distracting as those stupid ads for TV shows during network movies. Someone needs to have their head examined.
