BASS

[SuperSprint007]

Just my two cents on it, but i think that if bass was sold, FLW would buy it....my thought is FLW could buy it out and shut it down maybe take the classic and the records and merge it with their own. I would hope they would preserve the history of BASS. I think espn is slowly killing bass... the website is horrible, the tv coverage is getting less and less....I really dont think it would take to much effort on there part to make it better and nothing seems to be getting better...

And for the top woman getting a spot in the classic, so what, they added one and did not take away from anyone's chance to get in. It will give them a little bit more publicity with main stream media and maybe draw a few more fans. I guess if they added a college division then had the champion of it make the classic would you all have a problem with that?????

I wouldn't have any problem seeing how a college angler would stack up against the pros. I'd root for him/her everytime, being the young gun underdog skipping class to fish in the classic would be overwhelming, and fun to watch! Maybe by then all colleges will have a team and a school owned boat...I know of two colleges that have purchased brand new Rangers for their club, so it is very possible!

Air times for that tournament are:
November 1, 2007 - 5:00am ESPNU
November 2, 2007 - 5:00am ESPN2

It's a step in the right direction for college angling and it's only a matter of time before either BASS or FLW takes notice.

Here's another one, television air dates will probably be in January, last year's shows on this site as well:

My Insight tv says it is on ESPNU at 2pm thursday afternoon. I don't see anything except college football live at 5am.

The tournament will also be on tomorrow "thursday" at 2:00 pm on ESPNU. I also agree 100% with the college circuit. Talked with some guys from Drury University while at our National Tournament and they have been trying to set this thing up as well. I believe we can get this up and running within a couple years.
